The Red Wings have signed Theo Rochette to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Rochette went undrafted and played five seasons in the QMJHL before heading to Switzerland for the last three seasons. In 2026, he led Lausanne HC in goals (22) and finished second in points (43) in 46 games. He will likely report to Grand Rapids (AHL) to begin the 2026-27 season.
Kolesar will be a healthy scratch for Game 6.
Arvidsson (upper body) returned to the ice on Friday but will not play in Game 6.
Arvidsson will miss his second straight game on Friday, but head coach Nico Sturm said it was an encouraging sign to see him back on the ice, and could play in Game 7 if the Bruins are able to stay alive in Game 6. The Bruins will roll with the exact same lineup as Game 5.
Arvidsson (upper-body) is out for Game 5 in Buffalo.
Arvidsson exited Boston's blowout 6-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Game Four late in the first period due to an undisclosed injury. The team has yet to provide a concrete update on Arvidsson, but he did not practice on Monday and will be sidelined for Game Five on Tuesday. The 33-year-old Swedish forward is coming off an excellent season, scoring 54 points (25G / 29A) in 69 games, and will be sorely missed by a Bruins team that has only scored two combined goals in their last two games.
Arvidsson (undisclosed) was absent from Monday’s practice.

The Red Wings signed Leonard to a one-year contract extension on Thursday.
Shine has been reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) on Thursday.
With the regular season wrapped up for the Red Wings, Shine will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) to give them a boost for their playoff run. The 32-year-old Shine played a career-high 18 games with the Red Wings, including scoring his first-career NHL goal.
Sandin-Pellikka has been reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL).
With the regular season wrapped up for the Red Wings, Sandin-Pellikka will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) to give them a boost for their playoff run. The 21-year-old defenseman spent most of the 2025-26 season in the NHL, his rookie season, scoring 21 points (7G / 14A) in 68 games.
Mazur has been reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL).
With the regular season wrapped up for the Red Wings, Mazur will head to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) to give them a boost for their playoff run. The 24-year-old Mazur played eight games with the Red Wings this season, averaging 10:42 time-on-ice and scoring zero points.
Brandsegg-Nygard has been reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL).
With the regular season wrapped up for the Red Wings, Brandsegg-Nygard will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) to give them a boost for their playoff run. The 20-year-old Norwegian forward recently made his NHL debut and tallied one assist in 14 games.
Line Change
Larkin (undisclosed) is listed as a scratch for Detroit's season finale on Wednesday.
Larkin was a surprise scratch on Wednesday, with the Red Wings only announcing his absence shortly before puck drop. It's unclear whether he is dealing with an undisclosed injury or if he's simply getting the night off for maintenance.
Goalie Start
Gibson will start in Florida on Wednesday.
The Red Wings relied heavily on Gibson in the final months of the season, but his stellar play faded, and the Red Wings missed the postseason again. The 32-year-old Gibson led the Red Wings from early December into March, posting a stellar 2.02 GAA and .926 SV% in 28 games (20-6-1). That said, the workload clearly caught up to him, ending the season with a 3.10 GAA and .891 SV% in his last 15 (5-8-2). The Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as -155 road favourites against a Florida Panthers team on a two-game winning streak.
Line Change
Skoog is expected to be scratched on Wednesday.
With Sam Bennett (lower body) returning to the lineup on Wednesday, Skoog will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Skoog recently made his NHL debut, averaging 15:32 time-on-ice and going without a point in two games.
Goalie Start
Tarasov will start Wednesday vs. the Red Wings.
The Panthers will conclude a disappointing 2025-26 season on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings with Tarasov tending the twine. With the Panthers out of the playoff picture for several weeks, the team relied more heavily on Tarasov. The 27-year-old goalie saved 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers. In his last six games (3-2-1), he posted a 3.22 GAA and .871 SV%. The Panthers enter Wednesday's contest as +141 home underdogs against the Red Wings.
Arvidsson (rest) is expected to be back in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday.
With Boston locking up their playoff position, Viktor Arvidsson was a scratch last game due to rest-related purposes but will be back in the Bruins' lineup vs. New Jersey for Game 82. The 33-year-old has been a constant source of offence all season long, with 24 goals, 53 points and 174 SOG in 68 games played.
Sandin-Pellikka will draw into the Red Wings lineup on Monday.
Sandin-Pellikka will slot into the lineup for the penultimate game of the Red Wings season in place of Jacob Bernard-Docker. Sandin-Pellikka has seven goals and 14 assists in 66 games this season.
Brandsegg-Nygard will draw into the Red Wings lineup on Monday.
Brandsegg-Nygard will slot into the lineup for the penultimate game of the Red Wings season in place of Dominik Shine. Brandsegg-Nygard has zero goals and one assist in 12 games this season.
