Ducks' Damian Clara: Summoned from AHL
Clara was recalled from AHL San Diego by the Ducks on Sunday, per the AHL transaction log.
With AHL San Diego officially eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs, the Ducks will likely start to call some guys up to serve as their Black Aces. Clara appears to be one of those players. The 21-year-old spent much of the season on loan to the SHL's Brynas IF, but he returned to North America in time to make three regular-season starts and also both of San Diego's playoff games.

Bruins' Viktor Arvidsson: Ruled out for rest of Game 4
Arvidsson (upper body) left Sunday's Game 4 against the Sabres and was officially ruled out for the rest of the contest, the Bruins announced.
Arvidsson missed part of the first period after taking a hard hit in the corner, didn't come out with the rest of the team for the second, and now has officially been ruled out for the rest of the game. The 33-year-old scored twice in the team's Game 2 victory but has a minus-3 rating in the series so far. Game 5 is Tuesday, so it remains to be seen whether or not he can return then.

Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Strikes on power play in loss
Heiskanen scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4.
Heiskanen has a goal, three assists, 17 shots on net and six blocked shots over four games in this first-round series. The defenseman was bothered by a lower-body injury that kept him out of the last three regular-season contests, but he's averaged 31:39 per game so far in the playoffs, which has included two games going past regulation time. Heiskanen's points have all come on the power play as the Stars continue to thrive in that situation.
