Hughes scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Both of Hughes' points came on first-period power plays, which helped the Canucks erase a 2-0 deficit by the intermission. The defenseman has three multi-point efforts over his last four games, earning four goals and two assists in that span. He has earned a career-high 36 power-play points to go with the rest of his personal bests -- 17 goals, 71 assists, 192 shots on net and a plus-39 rating -- through 78 appearances this season.

McCabe scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

McCabe tallied the game-winner 1:30 into the extra frame, finding himself alone in the slot before burying a feed from Auston Matthews. It's the first point in nine games for McCabe. The 30-year-old blueliner is up to eight goals and 26 points, both career highs, through 70 games this season while skating on Toronto's second pairing.

Shea (not injury related) will be in Monday's lineup against the Maple Leafs.

Shea was dealing with some immigration issues but made it to Toronto in time to be able to play. The 27-year-old scored his first career goal in Washington on Thursday, his only point through 26 NHL appearances.

Dunn (undisclosed) remains day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Coyotes, according to Alison Lukan of Root Sports.

Dunn was a late scratch for Friday's 3-1 win over Anaheim. He is considered doubtful for Tuesday's contest after sitting out Monday's practice. Dunn has compiled 11 goals, 46 points, 120 shots on net and 64 blocked shots in 59 appearances this season.

Johansen was called up from AHL Hershey on Monday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Johansen has one assist, four shots on goal and seven blocked shots in six NHL outings this season. He will probably replace Rasmus Sandin (upper body) in Tuesday's lineup versus Detroit.

Sergachev (leg) won't be available for the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Sergachev, who took part in Monday's practice, underwent surgery in early February to stabilize fractures to the tibia and fibula in his left leg. Head coach Jon Cooper is encouraged by Sergachev's progress but acknowledged that the Lightning may need to win a round or two in the postseason before the 25-year-old defender is available to return to the lineup. In 34 contests during the 2023-24 campaign, Sergachev posted two goals, 19 points and 53 shots on net.

Kylington (upper body) is considered day-to-day, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Kylington didn't practice Monday after being injured in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton. The Flames brought up Ilya Solovyov from AHL Calgary on Monday as a potential replacement for Tuesday's contest against the Sharks. Kylington has contributed two goals, five points, 34 shots on net and 44 blocked shots in 28 contests this campaign.

Dermott (upper body) left Sunday's 5-2 win over San Jose in the second period and didn't return, according to Alan Robinson of NHL.com.

There was no update on Dermott's status following the contest, so it's unclear if he will be available for Tuesday's contest against Seattle. If he can't play, the Coyotes will need to bring up a defender from AHL Tucson.

Sandin (upper body) won't play during Washington's upcoming two-game road trip, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Sandin, who was injured in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Ottawa, might be able to return before the end of the regular season. Still, it's unclear if he will be available to play Saturday against Tampa Bay. Sandin has registered three goals, 23 points, 79 shots on net, 106 blocked shots and 75 hits in 68 appearances this season. Vincent Iorio could suit up Tuesday versus Detroit because of Sandin's absence.

Ludvig (illness) will serve as a healthy scratch against the Maple Leafs on Monday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Ludvig has been dealing with an illness but seems to be struggling to break into the lineup even back to 100 percent. There are some questions regarding Ryan Shea's (not injury related) availability Monday, which could open the door for Ludvig to get back into the lineup.
