Nyman was summoned from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Seattle assigned Jacob Melanson and Oscar Fisker Molgaard to the minors in corresponding moves. That could open the door for Nyman to play against Vegas on Wednesday. He has four goals, two assists, 31 shots on net and 22 hits in 26 NHL appearances this season.

Comrie will draw Tuesday's road start against the Mammoth, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

With the Jets eliminated from postseason contention, Winnipeg will turn to Comrie to give Connor Hellebuyck some rest. Overall, Comrie has a 12-9-1 record, a 2.95 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 23 appearances this season. Tuesday's appearance will be his second in the team's last three games after he appeared in relief of Hellebuyck on Saturday. Comrie will face off against the Mammoth, who should pose a good challenge for the 30-year-old netminder with their 12th-ranked 3.23 goals per game this season.

Melanson was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Seattle returned Oscar Fisker Molgaard to the minors and brought up Jani Nyman in corresponding moves. The 22-year-old Melanson has two goals, three assists, 33 shots on net and 189 hits in 36 NHL outings this season. He also has seven goals and 16 points in 26 AHL appearances this campaign.

Fisker Molgaard was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Since his promotion March 25, Fisker Molgaard appeared in 10 games for Seattle and notched his second NHL assist of the season. He'll return to the Firebirds, where he has 10 goals, 32 points and 78 shots on net across 46 games this season. The 21-year-old center is an upside stash in deep dynasty leagues in fantasy ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Wotherspoon (rest) isn't projected to play versus the Blues on Tuesday, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Wotherspoon will sit out Pittsburgh's regular-season finale for some additional rest ahead of the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He has generated three goals, 30 points, 70 shots on net, 113 blocked shots and 163 hits across 80 appearances in 2025-26.

Miller recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Miller missed 35 games due to a knee injury. He's had a tough campaign, getting limited to two assists, 18 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-8 rating over 16 appearances so far. He'll have two more chances to play as the Jets visit the Mammoth on Tuesday before hosting the Sharks in the regular-season finale Thursday. Miller is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Girard (rest) isn't expected to play against St. Louis on Tuesday, according to Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Girard will skip Pittsburgh's regular-season finale to get ready for the playoffs. He has accounted for three goals, 19 points, 41 shots on net and 58 blocked shots in 60 games between the Penguins and Avalanche during the 2025-26 campaign.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal on two shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

With the tally, Vilardi reached the 30-goal mark for the first time. It's been a career year across the board for the 26-year-old, who has added 67 points, including 23 on the power play, and 149 shots on net over 80 appearances. Vilardi is a core part of the Jets' offense and should continue to post productive campaigns fueled by efficiency with his shots.

Hanifin logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Jets.

Hanifin has earned five assists over his last seven contests. The defenseman is up to 28 points, 134 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 70 outings this season. Hanifin's offense may not last into the playoffs, but he'll remain a good source of blocks.

Chinakhov will not dress Tuesday in St. Louis as Pittsburgh rests select players for the playoffs, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

The 23-year-old winger has 18 goals and 36 points across 43 appearances combined between Columbus and Pittsburgh in 2025-26, emerging as one of the more pleasant surprises in the league since arriving via trade from the Blue Jackets in early January. He's cemented a spot on Pittsburgh's second line alongside Malkin and profiles as an exciting piece heading into the postseason. Chinakhov is worth a look in postseason fantasy formats given his offensive surge and his role alongside one of the league's premier forwards.
