Namestnikov (rest) is available for Game 1 against Colorado on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Namestnikov missed Thursday's season finale due to rest and will be back in his middle-six role Sunday. The veteran forward finished his season with 11 goals and 37 points through 78 appearances.

Dillon (rest) will play in Sunday's postseason tilt against Colorado, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon missed Thursday's matchup with the Canucks due to rest and will be fine to assume his usual top-four role. He finished the regular season with eight goals and 20 points through 77 contests.

Connor (rest) will suit up for Game 1 against the Avalanche on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Connor missed Thursday's game against the Canucks as a rest day rather than an injury. He racked up 12 points over his final eight games of the year, giving him 61 across 65 contests. The 27-year-old will be in his usual top-line role Sunday.

Scheifele (rest) will be available for Game 1 against Colorado on Sunday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scheifele missed Thursday's season finale due to rest rather than injury. The star center tallied 25 goals and 72 points through 74 games during the regular season. He's hit the 70-point mark five times in his NHL career, including four of the last five full seasons.

Skarek was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Friday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Skarek posted a lackluster 3.23 GAA and .888 save percentage in 36 AHL contests. The 24-year-old has yet to make his NHL debut.

Behrens signed a three-year, entry-level deal with the Avalanche on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Behrens' contract kicks in at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, so he'll join the Eagles -- Colorado's AHL squad -- on an amateur tryout contract for now. The 21-year-old blueliner was a second-round selection in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He spent the last three years with the University of Denver and totaled 31 points in 44 games this season while leading the school to a National Championship victory. Behrens will almost certainly make his NHL debut next season and could be on the team's Opening Night roster.

Grundstrom (lower body) will return from his conditioning loan with AHL Ontario and practice with LA on Saturday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grundstrom has recorded a goal and an assist in two appearances with Ontario during his conditioning stint. It was his first action since Feb. 13. Grundstrom provided eight goals, 12 points and 115 hits in 50 regular-season contests with LA in 2023-24. If he's available for Game 1 against Edmonton on Monday, then the 26-year-old might serve on the fourth line.

Johansen (undisclosed) doesn't believe he's medically fit to play hockey, and GM Daniel Briere doesn't expect to get the 31-year-old forward back, Jon Bailey of Philly Hockey Now reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Johansen had 13 goals and 23 points in 63 contests with Colorado before being dealt to Philadelphia on March 6. The Flyers promptly tried to reassign him to AHL Lehigh Valley, but Johansen informed Philadelphia that he was hurt, which made him ineligible to be moved to the minors, per Max Miller of The Hockey News. Instead, he spent the remainder of the campaign attempting to recover from the injury. He comes with an $8 million annual cap hit through 2024-25, but the Flyers are only responsible for half of that burden with the rest being charged to Nashville because the Predators retained salary as part of the trade to Colorado back in June. If Johansen can't play in 2024-25, then he will presumably be moved to long-term injured reserve.

Turcotte was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Turcotte had a goal and four points in 20 regular-season contests with LA in 2023-24. He's also supplied seven goals and 25 points across 33 appearances with Ontario.

McMann (lower body) missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Game 1 versus Boston on Saturday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McMann was absent for Toronto's final two regular-season contests due to the injury. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with 15 goals, 24 points, 52 PIM and 117 hits in 56 appearances. The 27-year-old averaged just 11:34 of ice time during the regular season and would likely see his minutes be similarly limited if he is an option for the postseason opener.
