Daccord is expected to guard the home goal versus the Mammoth on Thursday, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daccord has been on the bench for the last three games after a 1-5-1 stretch. However, Philipp Grubauer hasn't been able to generate many wins either, so Daccord will get another chance in a critical matchup for the Kraken's facing playoff hopes. The Mammoth have scored 21 goals over their last six games, though they've won only three of those contests.

OUTJustin Faulk
D DET
Thu 4/2/26 9:05 PM

Faulk (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of Faulk's injury was not announced. The 34-year-old defenseman has filled a top-four role for the Red Wings since he was traded from the Blues. If he misses time, Travis Hamonic will draw into the lineup in a bottom-four role.

OUTZach Hyman
W EDM
Thu 4/2/26 8:39 PM

Hyman (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus Chicago, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman has 31 goals and 51 points in 56 outings in 2025-26. He was considered a game-time call, but it seems he won't need to take a break that would have disrupted his four-game scoring streak (two goals, five points).

OUTTyler Kleven
D OTT
Thu 4/2/26 8:21 PM

Kleven (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Kleven blocked a shot up high in the first period and was unable to continue. Another injury on the blue line is a worst-case scenario for the Senators, who are already missing nearly a team's worth of defensemen. Kleven's status for Saturday's game versus the Wild will be updated later.

Kane (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's clash against Minnesota, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
EDGE Analysis
Kane is set to miss his second consecutive game. He has 13 goals, 31 points, 92 PIM and 110 hits in 70 appearances in 2025-26. Max Sasson is expected to dress for the second straight match due to Kane's injury.

Thu 4/2/26 6:46 PM

Lundestrom (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lundestrom is in line to play after leaving Tuesday's contest against the Hurricanes with an injury concern. He warmed up on the fourth line and should be good for his usual penalty-killing duties as well.

DTDMason Marchment
LW CBJ
Thu 4/2/26 6:38 PM

Marchment (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Carolina, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.
EDGE Analysis
Marchment's injury will disrupt his recent success -- he had a goal and four points across his past two outings. The 30-year-old has 18 goals and 40 points in 62 appearances between Seattle and Columbus in 2025-26. Luca Del Bel Belluz is set to draw into the lineup due to Marchment's absence.

Jonathan Quick

Thu 4/2/26 6:33 PM

Quick (upper body) is slated to serve as Igor Shesterkin's backup in Thursday's home game against the Canadiens, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quick has been out of action since he was hurt in practice March 21. The 40-year-old goalie is still not likely to see a lot of playing time over the last two weeks of the season, as Shesterkin remains a workhorse between the pipes. Dylan Garand, who has been serving in the backup role for most of Quick's absence, could also see some action late in the campaign if he remains on the NHL roster.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
G BUF
Thu 4/2/26 6:32 PM

Luukkonen is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Thursday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
EDGE Analysis
Luukkonen will go for his third straight win after stopping 57 of 62 shots (.919 save percentage) across his past two appearances. He has a 19-8-3 record, 2.58 GAA and .909 save percentage in 31 outings in 2025-26. Ottawa ranks 10th in goals per game with 3.30 this season.

IRVictor Hedman
D TB
Thu 4/2/26 6:15 PM

Hedman (personal) was moved to long-term injured reserve Thursday, per PuckPedia.
EDGE Analysis
Hedman hasn't played since March 19 due to an illness and, more recently, personal reasons. He has a goal and 17 points in 33 outings in 2025-26. It's not known when Hedman might return, but this move seems to indicate that he won't be available anytime soon.
