Hanley is slated to miss Thursday's regular-season finale against the Kings due to rest purposes, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Hanley made 53 appearances during his first full season with the Flames this year, recording two goals, seven assists, 90 blocked shots, 55 hits and 21 PIM while averaging 18:35 of ice time. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Andersson is slated to miss Thursday's regular-season finale against the Kings due to rest purposes, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

After appearing in each of the Flames' first 81 games of the season, Andersson will get a breather during the team's final game of the year. He recorded 11 goals, 20 assists, 196 blocked shots, 36 hits and 60 PIM while averaging 23:59 of ice time this season.

Edmundson (upper body) is slated to play Thursday against the Flames, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Edmundson missed the Kings' previous five matchups. The 31-year-old believes he could have returned sooner, but he took some extra time off to get ready for the first round of the playoffs. Edmundson has six goals, 20 points, 97 hits and 107 blocks in 72 regular-season outings. He'll likely serve in a top-four capacity in his return.

Doughty (rest) is slated to miss Thursday's game versus Calgary, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

Doughty has played only once over the last five games, and he's facing another absence to close out the regular season. Doughty has four goals, 13 assists, 44 shots on goal and 45 blocked shots across 29 games this season. He should be back in action for Game 1 versus Edmonton on Monday.

Moore posted an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.

This was Moore's first point in three NHL games. The defenseman added four shots on net, a hit, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating. Moore signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks last Saturday, and playing this season burned the first year off that deal. He'll be in the mix for a spot on the blue line during training camp ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Mukhamadullin underwent shoulder surgery last week, Max Miller of NHL.com reports Thursday.

Mukhamadullin is expected to be fully healthy ahead of training camp in September. The defenseman had two goals and nine assists across 30 appearances this season. He should take on a bigger role with the Sharks next season, as the 23-year-old was selected 20th overall by the Devils in 2020.

Walker logged an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Walker ended a six-game slump with his helper, a span in which he went minus-8. He's played a larger role recently with the Hurricanes cycling out defensemen for rest, but he's yet to step out of the lineup himself, though that could happen Thursday versus the Senators. If he plays, he'll have appeared in all 82 games for the first time in his career. Walker is at 16 points, 144 shots on net, 87 hits, 89 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 81 appearances this season.

Pionk signed a six-year, $42 million contract extension with the Jets on Thursday.

Pionk has spent the last six seasons in Winnipeg, and his extension will keep him under contract with the team through the 2030-31 campaign. He made 69 appearances for the Jets during the 2024-25 regular season, recording 10 goals, 29 assists, 114 hits and 101 blocked shots while averaging 22:04 of ice time.

Forsling (rest) will be back in the lineup for Game 1 versus Tampa Bay, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Forsling sat out Tuesday's regular-season finale versus Tampa Bay. He finished the 2024-25 regular season with 11 goals, 20 assists, 83 hits and 89 blocked shots over 80 outings.

Schuldt was reassigned to AHL San Jose on Thursday.

Schuldt spent the final few days of the NHL regular season with the Sharks, and he was held without a point while logging three hits and two blocked shots over two appearances. Now that the Sharks have concluded their regular season, Schuldt will return to the minors to play for the Barracuda during the AHL playoffs.
