Reid scored a goal and added three assists in OHL Kitchener's 6-2 win over WHL Everett on Monday in a Memorial Cup round-robin game.

Reid has earned five points through two games, both of which were wins for Kitchener. The Nashville prospect finished the OHL playoffs with 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) and a plus-11 rating over 18 appearances. He doesn't have the flashiest offense, but Reid has done enough in that regard while being steady in his own zone.

Dobes will tend the home twine in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hurricanes on Monday, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Dobes is coming off a 23-save effort in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2. The 24-year-old netminder has yet to lose back-to-back games during the 2026 postseason, and through 16 starts overall, Dobes is 9-7 with a 2.51 GAA and a .909 save percentage. As for the Hurricanes, they have not lost on the road during the playoffs.

Andersen is expected to defend the road net in Game 3 against Montreal on Monday, per Peter Dewar and Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Andersen had to make only 10 saves in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He has posted a 9-1 record this postseason with a 1.55 GAA and a .927 save percentage through 10 appearances. Montreal has registered a mere 24.1 shots per game in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, yet has scored 51 goals over 16 contests.

Nichushkin underwent treatment Monday for a lower-body injury, Eric Francis of Sportsnet reports.

There was no update on Nichushkin's status from the Avalanche, but the team should know more ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday. He logged only 8:34 of ice time in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Vegas in Game 3. Nichushkin has contributed two goals, two assists, 19 shots on net and 17 hits in 12 appearances this postseason.

MacKinnon (lower body) is undergoing evaluations and treatments, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette on Monday.

MacKinnon sustained the injury in the second period of Sunday's 5-3 loss to Vegas in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Despite clearly not being fully healthy, he managed to finish the game. It's unclear if he will play in Tuesday's must-win matchup, but an update on his status could come during Colorado's pregame media availability. The Avalanche face a challenging situation with a 3-0 series deficit, and MacKinnon's injury may further impede their chances of a comeback.

Domi (undisclosed) is out indefinitely after undergoing offseason surgery, the team announced Monday.

Domi had surgery to address an issue he played through during the 2025-26 season. However, there were complications from the procedure, and an update on his status will come at the beginning of training camp. It's unclear if he will miss time at the start of the 2026-27 campaign, though that wouldn't be surprising. Domi had 12 goals, 36 points, 118 shots on net and 95 PIM across 80 appearances in 2025-26.

Manson notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Manson has battled an upper-body injury this postseason, and this was his first point since Game 3 of the first round. The defenseman has three helpers, 12 shots on net, 21 hits, five blocked shots and eight PIM across eight playoff outings. As long as he can keep suiting up, he should have a steady bottom-four role.

Toews notched two assists, including one while shorthanded, and added two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Toews helped out on goals by Gabriel Landeskog and Jack Drury in the first period. The 32-year-old Toews has contributed four helpers over his last four contests. He was able to see his workload decrease with the return of Cale Makar (upper body). Toews should continue to work on the first pairing at even strength, but his power-play time will drop. He has produced two goals, nine helpers, 15 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 12 playoff outings.

Drury scored a shorthanded goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Drury's goal put the Avalanche up 3-0 in the first period, but it was all downhill after that. The 26-year-old center has contributed some depth scoring with three goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 12 playoff contests. Drury will likely be counted on for key faceoffs if Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) is unable to suit up with the season on the line Tuesday in Game 4.

Kadri scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Kadri had gone three games without a goal before his first-period tally Sunday. The veteran forward is up to three goals, five assists, 35 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff contests. He's been playing on the wing lately but may need to move to the middle if Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) is unavailable for Tuesday's Game 4.
