Canadiens' Chris Wideman: Ending career
Wideman (back) told reporters Tuesday that he will not play again, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Wideman was on injured reserve for all of 2023-24 due to a back injury. He was limited to just 46 games last season, which was his second campaign following a one-year stint in the KHL. Wideman ends his NHL career with 78 points in 291 appearances.

Joel Edmundson D | LA
Maple Leafs' Joel Edmundson: Playing Tuesday
Edmundson (undisclosed) is set to play Tuesday versus the Panthers, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Edmundson has been banged up down the stretch, but he'll draw in for Tuesday's game. The Maple Leafs have nine available defensemen currently, so it's still possible the veteran is rested for Wednesday's tilt versus the Lightning.

Brady Skjei D | NSH
Hurricanes' Brady Skjei: Not playing after all
Skjei (rest) will be out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Skjei was poised to rejoin the lineup after also resting in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Chicago, but he'll instead get another game off heading into the postseason. The 30-year-old defenseman ends the regular season at a career-high 47 points with 185 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 69 hits and a plus-15 rating over 80 appearances. Skjei should be good for a top-four role in the playoffs.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Not ruled out for Worlds
Guhle sustained a head injury April 4 versus the Lightning that cost him the last seven games of the season, but he hasn't been ruled out from joining Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship in May, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
Guhle will conclude his second NHL season with 22 points, 95 shots on net, 116 hits, 178 blocked shots, 56 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 70 contests. He mainly played in a top-four role. Guhle's injury was not classified as a concussion, and it's possible he could get a little more playing time at Worlds before the offseason.

Pietrangelo (illness) won't be in the lineup Tuesday against Chicago, per Paul Delos Santos of NHL.com.

Torey Krug D | STL
Blues' Torey Krug: Won't play in season finale
Krug (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's regular-season finale against Dallas, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
Krug will finish the season with four goals, 39 points, an ugly minus-31 rating, 162 shots and 111 hits through 77 contests. He should produce similar totals while seeing regular power-play usage in 2024-25, making him a decent complementary option at defense in most fantasy formats.
