Hellebuyck stopped 32 of 38 shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Maybe there are some fatigue issues that are plaguing Hellebuyck down the stretch, but the star netminder has allowed 11 goals on 58 shots over his last two starts -- both losses against the Flyers and Golden Knights. The Jets were eliminated from playoff contention with this loss, so it remains to be seen whether Hellebuyck will start in either of the team's final two games of the regular season, beginning with a Tuesday matchup at Utah.

Hyry scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 6-5 win over the Maple Leafs.

Hyry tied the game at 9:38 of the third period, knotting the score at 5-5. The 25-year-old has three goals and an assist over his last eight contests while filling in as a bottom-six option. He's played in that role since the Olympic break, compiling a total of five points, 24 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-1 rating over 20 appearances. Hyry will likely slip out of the lineup if the Stars are able to have most or all of their preferred options available for Game 1 of the playoffs.

McMann scored a goal, took three shots and recorded four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

McMann scored Seattle's third goal, and his snap shot at the 17:33 mark of the final frame not only gave him 29 goals on the year, but it also reduced the deficit to just one goal. McMann has 14 points (10 goals, four assists) in his 16 appearances with the Kraken since being acquired from the Maple Leafs before the trade deadline, and overall, he has 47 points in 76 regular-season appearances -- a new career-best mark by a sizable margin.

Kokko stopped 25 of 29 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Kings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game.

Kokko made his second straight start since both Philipp Grubauer (lower body) and Joey Daccord (lower body) are sidelined. Unlike Saturday when he recorded a win over the Flames, though, he couldn't come out on top this time around. Through two starts, Kokko has stopped 51 of 56 shots faced, and he's likely to remain as the No. 1 option between the pipes in at least one of Seattle's final two games of the regular season. The Kraken are playing the Golden Knights on Wednesday and the Avalanche on Thursday.

Van Riemsdyk notched an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning.

Van Riemsdyk is in a 16-game goal drought, and he's logged just four assists in that span. The 36-year-old winger has maintained a steady spot on the fourth line, but the Red Wings' late collapse means he won't get back into the postseason. Van Riemsdyk has produced 15 goals, 16 assists, 98 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 71 appearances this season.

Moore (lower body) will not be an option for the team's regular-season finale Wednesday versus San Jose, according to Scott Powers of The Athletic.

Head coach Jeff Blashill said Tuesday that it's not worth the risk of putting Moore into the lineup Wednesday. The 21-year-old forward is seemingly close to full strength, so there should be absolutely no concern about him being ready for the start of the 2026-27 campaign, barring any setbacks in the offseason.

Moser recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Moser has picked up five helpers over his last 15 games, but he's gone 18 contests without a goal. The 26-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes for the Lightning, and it's his play in his own zone that keeps him in that role. He's at 29 points, 111 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 61 hits, 69 PIM and a plus-41 rating over 79 appearances this season.

Laferriere scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Laferriere assisted on Trevor Moore's second-period goal, a tally that gave the Kings a 3-0 lead midway through the game. The Kraken mounted a third-period comeback and were just one goal away from tying the game, but Laferriere closed out the scoring with two seconds left with an empty-netter on the power play. Laferriere has been playing well in recent weeks with 12 points (four goals, eight assists) over his last 14 appearances. He has 41 points on the season, and with two games left on the schedule, he could set a new career-high mark in points if he continues to deliver on offense. He's one point shy of matching the career-high 42-point output he delivered in the 2024-25 regular season.

Bjorkstrand posted an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Bjorkstrand has gone 18 games without a goal, and he's been scratched twice in that span. The 31-year-old's first full year with the Lightning has been a mixed bag. He's earned 11 goals, 31 points, 128 shots on net, 83 hits and a minus-15 rating over 79 appearances, but he's often found himself in a bottom-six role in recent weeks.

McBain (lower body) is still week-to-week, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News on Tuesday.

McBain was injured April 2 in Seattle and was deemed week-to-week two days later. Since his timeline remains unchanged, McBain's status for the first round of the postseason is certainly in jeopardy. The 26-year-old will conclude the regular season with nine goals, 25 points, 106 shots, 271 hits and a plus-11 rating over 75 outings.
