Jensen has yet to appear in either of Washington's opening playoff losses but will be a game-time decision for Game 3 on Friday.

Jensen has been out since April 13th due to a scary upper-body injury and will miss a second straight playoff game. The 33-year-old shut-down defensemen scored only one goal in 2023-24, with 14 points, 71 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus in 78 games played.

Dostal will make back-to-back starts to close out the 2023-24 season as the Ducks are opting to give him the nod over John Gibson in Thursday's regular season finale. Dostal took the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 28 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Kings. He comes into tonight's game with a .900 SV% and a 13-23-3 record across 43 appearances. Unsurprisingly, he is a longshot to get back in the win column on Thursday with the Ducks being +310 underdogs in Vegas.

Jensen did not play the final two games of the season for the Capitals but could be ready for game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sunday. The 33-year-old Jensen had 14 points (1G / 13A) and 124 blocks in 78 games this season.

Gauthier was acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Flyers earlier this season and will make his NHL debut on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 20-year-old Gauthier was the fifth overall pick of the Flyers in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft and has spent the last two seasons playing collegiate hockey. He scored an impressive 65 points (38G / 27A) in 41 games with Boston College this season.

With the Jets locking in home-ice advantage in their impending first-round matchup against the Colorado Avalanche, they will give Connor Hellebuyck the night off in their final game of the season and turn to Brossoit. The 31-year-old Brossoit has had a terrific season as the Jets' backup, posting a 2.00 GAA and .928 SV% in 22 games (14-5-2).

Husso has been sidelined since mid-February due to a lower-body injury and was loaned to the Grand Rapids Griffins for a conditioning stint last week. The 29-year-old Husso had struggled when called upon this season with a 9-5-2 record, 3.55 GAA and .892 SV%.

Greer will take a seat on Friday as the Flames look to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Dryden Hunt will draw into the lineup in his place.

Colangelo was the 36th overall pick of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old forward recently made his professional debut and has recorded four points (1G / 3A) in four games with the San Diego Gulls (AHL).

The Jets are riding a four-gaming winning streak and will give Connor Hellebuyck a rest on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. Brossoit has played only one of the last eight games for the Jets but was serviceable in it, saving 25 of 28 shots (.893 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. The Jets enter action as +136 road underdogs.
