Brodin (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Game 6 versus Dallas on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Brodin will miss his first game of the postseason, having recorded one assist, six shots and 14 blocks in his previous five outings. With the 32-year-old defenseman on the shelf, Jeff Petry will make his playoff debut in a third pairing alongside Zach Bogosian.

York scored the overtime winner Wednesday during the Flyers' 1-0 victory over the Penguins in Game 6 of their first-round series.

With about two and a half minutes left in the first extra frame, the 25-year-old defenseman took a pass from Matvei Michkov at the blue line and snapped a shot that sailed through traffic and plinked in off the post to send the Flyers through to the second round. It was York's first career playoff goal, and he'll head into a clash with the Hurricanes with a bit of momentum, having picked up two points over the last three games.

Marino scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.

Marino opened the scoring at 17:11 of the first period, but Pavel Dorofeyev tied the game before the intermission. The tally was Marino's first point over five games in the first round. The defenseman has added four shots on net, 12 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He had career-high 36 points over 80 regular-season outings, and Marino had collected six helpers over 29 postseason contests across four playoff runs prior to this year.

Theodore scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 5.

Theodore's pair of points came 1:40 apart in the second period. The defenseman set up the second of Pavel Dorofeyev's three goals to tie the game at 2-2. Shortly later, Theodore gave the Golden Knights their first lead with a goal of his own. He has two goals, one assist, 13 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over five playoff contests. He'll continue to fill a top-four role and should maintain a presence on the power play.

D'Astous (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 5 against the Canadiens, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

D'Astous will miss a fourth straight game, though he was labeled a game-time decision in the lead-up to this contest. His next chance to play is Friday in Game 6.

Brodin (lower body) remains questionable for Thursday's Game 6 clash with Dallas, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Brodin was seen leaving the arena on crutches after Game 5 on Tuesday, which wouldn't seem to indicate a short-term absence, but head coach John Hynes wouldn't completely rule the blueliner out for Game 6. If Brodin can't play, both Daemon Hunt and Jeff Petry will be options to replace him in the lineup.

Lundkvist (face) didn't travel with the team ahead of Game 6 against the Wild on Thursday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lundkvist looks set to miss his second straight contest after being cut by a skate in Game 4 on Saturday, which means Ilya Lyubushkin figures to stay in the lineup for Game 6. The 25-year-old Lundkvist has two assists, two shots on goal, six blocked shots and two hits in four outings this postseason. It's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup.

Dahlin scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 5.

Dahlin gave the Sabres a quick start with his goal at 3:35 of the first period, but they didn't build on that. The 26-year-old defenseman has earned two points, 16 shots on net, nine hits, four blocked shots and six PIM across his first five playoff outings. Dahlin will continue to see significant usage for the Sabres as they look to bounce back in Game 6 on Friday.

D'Astous (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 against Montreal on Wednesday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

D'Astous has missed Tampa Bay's past three games due to the injury. He had six goals, 29 points, 112 PIM, 96 hits and 74 blocks in 70 regular-season outings in 2025-26. Max Crozier might be a healthy scratch if D'Astous draws into the lineup.

Bouchard logged three assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

Bouchard's offense has come alive over the last three games with a goal and six assists in that span. Across five playoff outings, he has added seven shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-4 rating. Bouchard has earned four of his seven playoff points on the power play, where he continues to quarterback the top unit.
