Arvid Holm served as the backup to Alexandar Georgiev in game one against the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday as Justus Annunen has been battling an illness.

Prosvetov spent some time with the Avalanche this season but spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, posting a solid 2.33 GAA and .921 SV% in 21 games (11-7-2).

Lomberg took a seat in the press box for Florida's final game of the season but will return to the lineup as a physical presence for Game 1 vs. Tampa Bay.

With the Bruins set to begin their first-round playoff matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, they have recalled Beecher from Providence (AHL). The 23-year-old Beecher played 52 games with Boston this season, his first NHL campaign, scoring 10 points (7G / 3A).

Hunt will sit out the Flames' regular season finale on Thursday to make room for the return of Blake Coleman. Hunt will finish the 2023-24 season with three goals and five assists in 28 games.

Coleman has missed the last four games due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup for the Flames' season finale. The 32-year-old Coleman has a career-high 52 points (29G / 23A) through 77 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in nine of his last 10 games.

The Sharks will roll with Cooley between the pipes on Thursday despite a forgettable showing in his last outing. Cooley allowed eight goals on 22 shots (.636 SV%) on Monday in a 9-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, snapping a two-game winning streak where he allowed only three goals combined. The Sharks enter action as +229 road underdogs on Thursday against the Calgary Flames.

The Flames will end the 2023-24 season having started Wolf in three of their last four games. Despite allowing five goals on 35 shots (.857 SV%) in his last outing, Wolf is riding a three-game winning streak that began with an impressive 20-save performance (.909 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. The Flames enter action on Thursday as -262 home favourites against the Sharks.

Ilya Solovyov will draw into the lineup on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, replacing Okhotiuk. The 23-year-old Okhotiuk has nine points (1G / 8A) and 147 hits in 52 games this season.

Walker Duehr will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Klapka to re-enter the lineup. Klapka has played four games with the Flames this season but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), scoring 45 points (21G / 24A) in 64 games.

Beecher has been a regular in the lineup for the Bruins over the last month, scoring three points (2G / 1A) in 13 games, but has been loaned to the Providence Bruins (AHL). Jayson Megna has been recalled in a corresponding move.

Olofsson has been a healthy scratch for the previous four games but will draw back into the lineup on Monday vs. Tampa Bay as he takes the spot of Lukas Rousek. The 28-year-old has struggled all season, leading to his least productive season since joining the NHL in 2018-19, with seven goals, eight assists, 66 SOG and four PIMs in 50 games played.

The Sharks will turn to Cooley in the crease for the third time in the last six games on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. Cooley has been tremendous in his last two starts, allowing two or fewer goals in each, including a sensational performance in his most recent outing, saving 49 of 50 shots (.980 SV%) in a 3-1 win over the Seattle Kraken. That said, the Sharks enter action as significant +428 road underdogs.

Coleman will miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old Coleman has a career-high 52 points (29G / 23A) through 77 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in nine of his last 10 games.

Ignatjew is an undrafted 24-year-old goalie from Finland. He has spent the last two seasons with Mora IK (Swe-1) and was terrific in the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 2.16 GAA and .918 SV% in 12 games (6-6-0).

Klapka played four games for the Flames earlier this season but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL). The undrafted 23-year-old has 45 points (21G / 24A) in 64 games with the Wranglers.

Hunt will draw into the lineup as the Flames opt to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. A.J. Greer will draw out of the lineup.

The Flames will turn to Wolf for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Friday after Jacob Markstrom got the nod in Los Angeles on Thursday. Wolf picked up the victory his last time out, allowing two goals on 22 shots as the Flames edged the Sharks 3-2 in overtime. Wolf has made 14 appearances on the year, posting a 4-7-1 record and an .896 SV%. He's got a great chance of securing back-to-back victories for just the second time in his young career with the Flames being -140 favourites over the Ducks on Friday.

Okhotiuk had an assist in 16:45 TOI in San Jose on Tuesday but will come back out of the lineup in Los Angeles with Oliver Kylington returning to the lineup. Okhotiuk has one assist in seven games since being traded to Calgary.
