Tkachuk (personal) won't play against the Rangers on Monday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

Tkachuk will miss his fourth straight game, but he might return to the lineup in Wednesday's regular-season finale against Detroit. He has 13 goals, 32 points, 88 shots on net and 29 hits in 30 appearances this campaign. Tkachuk has been away from the team to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.

Jokiharju scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

The 26-year-old blueliner hadn't been part of the lineup since a 2-1 loss to the Panthers on April 2, but he returned with a bang in this one. His limited usage reduces his fantasy appeal, but Jokiharju has made his presence felt when on the ice. He has two goals and four assists over his last six appearances dating back to March 16 while averaging 17:06 of ice time in that span.

Tarasov will patrol the home crease against the Rangers on Monday, per Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.

Tarasov will make his second straight start after stopping 17 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over Toronto. He has gone 11-15-3 this season with a 3.16 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 31 appearances. Since the start of March, the Rangers sit fourth in the league with 3.62 goals per game.

Korpisalo stopped 33 of 35 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Korpisalo bounced back from losing back-to-back games in overtime to the Flyers and Hurricanes, and he recorded his first win since March 31, when he stopped 13 of 16 shots in a 6-3 victory over the Stars. Despite the 1-0-2 record in his last three outings, Korpisalo is ending the season on a strong note after allowing just five goals on 83 shots (.940 save percentage) in those three contests. It remains to be seen whether Korpisalo or Jeremy Swayman will get the start in the regular-season finale against the Devils on Tuesday.

Kastelic scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Kastelic might have stepped up with two points in this game, but it's hard to trust him in most fantasy formats due to his recent performances. This two-point effort ended a 16-game point drought, and he hadn't scored since Feb. 4, when he found the back of the net in a loss to the Panthers. That lack of production, coupled with his bottom-six role, suggests this was just an outlier. Don't expect Kastelic to have a big role on offense in the regular-season finale against the Devils on Tuesday.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Diandra Loux of The Hockey News reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Detroit on Monday.

Vasilevskiy is coming off a 20-save performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Boston. He has a 38-15-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.30 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 57 appearances. Detroit is tied for 20th in the league with 2.94 goals per game this season.

Aube-Kubel was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Aube-Kubel has contributed one assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and four hits in four NHL appearances this season. He has spent the majority of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he has 15 goals and 37 points across 60 games.

Jones was summoned from AHL Iowa on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Jones has 12 goals and 30 points in 35 AHL appearances this season. He also has one goal, one assist, 25 shots on net and 53 hits in 26 NHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Weegar notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Weegar was able to get on the scoresheet in his first game back in Calgary since he was dealt to Utah. The defenseman missed a game due to an upper-body injury earlier in April, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he got rested for one or both of the Mammoth's last two contests before the playoffs. In 77 outings between the Flames and the Mammoth this season, he has four goals, 22 helpers, 153 shots on net, 166 hits, 173 blocked shots, 84 PIM and a minus-32 rating.

Crouse scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Crouse has three goals and two assists over his last five games. The 28-year-old's tally at 11:20 of the third period denied Dustin Wolf a shot at a shutout. Crouse has been dialed in on the top line lately and is up to 23 goals, 43 points, 138 shots on net, 206 hits, 52 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-23 rating over 79 appearances. He's operating at the upper end of his usual production range, but a gig alongside Clayton Keller makes Crouse worth keeping in mind as a streaming target to close out the fantasy playoffs.
