Salomonsson is in the concussion protocol after getting hurt on a hit in Thursday's game against the Stars, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Salomonsson was injured on a reverse hit by Jason Robertson. Given the nature of the injury, Salomonsson will have to wait to return to the lineup until he is no longer suffering from concussion symptoms. That puts his availability in doubt for Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets, which opens the door for Ville Heinola or Jacob Bryson to step into the lineup.

Patterson scored twice and added two assists in OHL Niagara's 9-6 loss to Barrie in Game 4 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Pattersson has eight points over four playoff games, but the IceDogs are down 3-1 in the series against his former junior team. He had 40 goals and 84 points in 60 regular-season contests. Patterson's playoff run may not be a long one, but he's taken a significant step up on offense and should be ready for the AHL in 2026-27.

Aitcheson logged three assists in OHL Barrie's 9-6 win over Niagara in Game 4 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Aitcheson has earned four points over two playoff outings after being sidelined to begin the postseason. The defenseman was stellar in the regular season with 28 goals and 70 points over 56 appearances. The Islanders prospect signed his entry-level contract March 17, which paves the way for him to potentially join AHL Bridgeport to start 2026-27 -- he turns 20 in September. However, if he's not ready for the professional ranks, he could return to the OHL.

Newhook scored a goal in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Newhook's 12th goal of the season. The number seems unremarkable overall, but look closer. Newhook has 23 points in 35 games, which is a 54-point pace. He may not be a great help the rest of the way, but he could be a sneaky sleeper next season. Put Newhook's name on your watch list for next fall.

Hemming scored twice and added two assists in OHL Barrie's 9-6 win over Niagara in Game 4 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hemming doubled his playoff output with this four-point effort. He's at three goals and five helpers over four games, helping the Colts to establish a 3-1 series lead. The Stars prospect recorded 26 goals and 37 helpers over 46 regular-season outings this year after a brief stint with AHL Texas to begin the campaign.

Beaudoin scored two goals and added two assists in OHL Barrie's 9-6 win over Niagara in Game 4 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Beaudoin was one of a few Colts to put together a big game to give the team a 3-1 series lead. The Mammoth prospect has rattled off nine points in four playoff contests after his 33-goal, 89-point regular season over 54 appearances. Beaudoin had 13 points in 16 playoff outings last year, so it's good to see him elevate his play at this time of year.

Fowler made 21 saves in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler carried a shutout until the 9:23 mark of the third period when Adam Fox put the puck past him when he was down on the ice. He has won three consecutive games with just six goals against in that span (.914 save percentage). Fowler is the Habs' star of the future, and he's starting to flex those muscles now.

Caufield scored twice Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The goals are numbers 48 and 49 for Caufield, who is now within one snipe of league leader, Nathan MacKinnon. His second goal of the night gave the Habs the lead with 5:05 left in the third. Caufield has been tickling twine at an outrageous pace -- he has 28 goals in his past 27 games. The Rocket Richard Trophy is within reach.

Helenius (undisclosed) is expected to return to the lineup Thursday versus the Predators, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Helenius missed one game due to the injury. He's gone 12 games without a goal and has just two assists in that span, though he generates most of his value through physicality. Helenius is slated to skate on the Kings' fourth line.

Salomonsson (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Salomonsson sustained the injury after a reverse hit by Jason Robertson. The severity of Salomonsson's injury is not yet known, so he can be considered day-to-day leading into Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets pending further information. Ville Heinola or Jacob Bryson would take his place in the lineup if he has to miss time.
