Romanov (illness) isn't expected to play in the Islanders' regular-season finale versus Columbus on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Romanov is slated to end the campaign with four goals, 20 points, 100 shots, 147 hits and 165 blocks in 64 appearances. It's the third straight season in which he's recorded at least 20 points, though he is set to finish just below the 150-hit mark after reaching that milestone in each of his previous three campaigns.

Slavin (rest) isn't expected to suit up for Thursday's regular-season finale against Ottawa, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Slavin appeared in each of the Hurricanes' first 80 games of the season, but he'll rest in a second consecutive matchup to close out the year. He logged six goals, 21 assists, 136 blocked shots and 21 hits while averaging 21:34 of ice time, and he should be back in action for Game 1 of the Hurricanes' first-round series against the Devils on Sunday.

Chatfield (rest) isn't expected to play in Thursday's regular-season finale against the Senators, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

The Hurricanes have a back-to-back set to close out the regular season, and Chatfield is one of numerous players who will rest in both of those matchups. Chatfield made 79 appearances for the Hurricanes during the regular season and logged seven goals, 11 assists, 64 hits, 64 blocked shots and 54 PIM while averaging 18:53 of ice time. He should return to action for Game 1 of Carolina's first-round series against New Jersey on Sunday.

Edvinsson logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Edvinsson did it all in one of his strongest outings of the season, which ended a nine-game slump for the defenseman. He's at 31 points, 85 shots on net, 86 hits, 142 blocks, 67 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 77 appearances. Edvinsson could still find more offense as he continues to develop, but he has good all-around production already.

Seider logged two assists and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Seider helped out on third-period tallies by Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat. The 24-year-old Seider bounced back from a stretch of just two assists over 14 contests to pick up five points across his last two games. For the season, he has eight goals, 37 helpers, 159 shots on net, 210 hits, 179 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 81 outings.

Jones was sent to AHL Ontario on Thursday.

Jones has no points, six shots, 10 hits and five blocks over six appearances with the Kings in 2024-25. He also has two goals and 20 points across 42 outings with Ontario this season.

Carlsson cleared waivers and was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.

The Sharks' campaign is over, so this is an opportunity to extend his year while assisting in the Barracuda's postseason run. Carlsson had a goal, four points, four hits and 14 blocks in 13 appearances with the Sharks in 2024-25. The 27-year-old is finishing up the first season of a two-year, two-way contract.

Bean (rest) will not play in the season finale versus Los Angeles on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Bean had two goals and five assists in 64 games this season, and he was pointless in his last 28 contests. Bean has one year remaining on his contract and should be a third-unit defenseman next season.
