Eberle scored his 25th goal of the season in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.

The 35-year-old winger opened the scoring midway through the first period, but the game quickly slipped away from the Kraken after that. It's the first time since 2017-18 that Eberle has reached the 25-goal plateau, and over 74 games in the current campaign, he's produced 53 points with 162 shots on net, 53 hits, a career-high 41 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Dach (upper body) will be an option for Tuesday's home game against the Panthers, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

The Canadiens said March 17 that Dach would be out for 2-4 weeks, so his return comes right in the middle of that timeline. Alexandre Texier (lower body) has also been given the green light to play, so the Canadiens are nearly fully healthy up front, with the exception of Patrik Laine (abdomen). Dach might center the fourth line between Phillip Danault and Brendan Gallagher on Tuesday.

Ullmark will patrol the crease at home versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Ullmark will make his fifth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 2-2-0 with a 4.01 GAA and .854 save percentage across his prior four outings. With their spot in the postseason hanging in the balance, the 32-year-old netminder could see himself feature in each of the team's last five outings, including a back-to-back against the Islanders and Devils on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Texier (lower body) is available for Tuesday's home matchup against Florida, according to Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Texier missed seven games due to the injury. While he's now an option for the Canadiens, it remains to be seen if he'll be one of the 12 forwards against the Panthers, as the team now has 14 healthy players up front -- Kirby Dach (upper body) is also available for Tuesday's game.

Daccord turned aside 10 of 12 shots after taking over the crease from Philipp Grubauer (lower body) midway through the second period of Monday's 6-2 loss to the Jets.

The loss went on Grubauer's ledger, but the two third-period tallies allowed by Daccord squelched any chance the Kraken had of mounting a comeback. Seattle is all but eliminated from the playoffs, but Daccord figures to see a heavy workload over the team's final games if Grubauer misses time, with Matt Murray as his backup.

Tuch scored his 30th goal of the season in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

The 29-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period by ripping a shot past Andrei Vasilevskiy from the slot right after stepping out of the penalty box. It's the third time in the last four regular seasons that Tuch has hit the 30-goal mark, but with just four games left before the playoffs for the Sabres, his odds of reaching his career high of 36 are very slim.

Byram picked up two assists in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

The 24-year-old blueliner had a hand in tallies by Alex Tuch in the first period and Jason Zucker in the second, the latter proving to be the game-winner. It was Byram's first multi-point effort since March 8, as he puts the finishing touches on a career-best regular season that's seen him produce 11 goals and 41 points in 78 contests with 106 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 50 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-11 rating.

Zucker scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

The veteran winger broke a 2-2 tie midway through the second period when he tipped home a Bowen Byram shot from the blue line. Zucker snapped a five-game point drought with the performance, and on the season, he's delivered 23 goals and 41 points in 59 games -- the seventh time in his career he's reached the 40-point plateau.

Luukkonen made 23 saves in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

The 27-year-old netminder reached 20 wins for a third straight season as he continues to lock in ahead of the playoffs. Luukkonen has allowed more than three goals only once in his last eight starts, going 5-2-1 with a sizzling 1.99 GAA and .927 save percentage over that span.

Raddysh notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

The 30-year-old defenseman produced his first multi-point performance since March 24. With Victor Hedman (illness/personal) potentially unavailable for the remainder of the regular season, Raddysh is the unquestioned top option on the Tampa Bay blue line, and over the last 11 games, he's churned out four goals and 11 points.
