Mukhamadullin was drafted 20th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He played a career-high 50 games last season with the Sharks, recording 12 points (5G / 7A) and a -3 plus/minus. He is currently an RFA and is coming off a one-year, $1.0 million contract.
Levi was once considered the goalie of the future with the Buffalo Sabres, but he failed to make that leap, ultimately spending most of the past two seasons in the AHL. The 24-year-old goalie posted a 2.83 GAA and .904 SV% last season in 52 games (23-20-9) with the Rochester Americans.
After being acquired from Chicago at last season's trade deadline, Connor Murphy will remain an Edmonton Oiler for the next five seasons after he signed a five-year, $4.1 million AAV ($20.5 million total) contract extension on Monday. The 33-year-old is entering his 14th NHL season after appearing in 80 games in 2025-26 between the Blackhawks and Oilers, with five goals, 17 points and 71 PIMs.
Edmonton has locked up some offensive depth when the team announced Sunday that it had signed Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $4 million AAV contract extension ($20M total). The 30-year-old forward is entering his 12th NHL season and first full season in Edmonton after being acquired from Chicago at last year's Trade Deadline. Dickinson will look to reach the 20 point plateau for the first time since 2023-24 after finishing last season with seven goals and 17 points in 64 games played.
Andersen was relieved in Game 3 at the start of the third period in favour of Brandon Bussi. It appeared to be due to the 4-0 deficit the Canes faced at the time, though it now appears it could have been related to an undisclosed injury. Bussi will start Game 4 and Pyotr Kochetkov will serve as his backup.
Despite splitting starts all regular season with Brandon Bussi, Frederik Andersen will make his 16th straight postseason appearance in Carolina's crease for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final Saturday. The 36-year-old Danish goalie has been sensational all offseason despite struggling in the first two games of this series vs/ Vegas, posting a 13-2-0 record, 1.72 GAA and .917 SV%. He will hope to propel Carolina to a 2-1 series lead on the road Saturday as the Hurricanes heads to Vegas for a primetime matchup.
Similar to the Montreal series, Andersen struggled in Game 1, allowing five goals on 23 shots and 2.35 goals scored above expected. He settled in in the Games 2 through 5 of the Conference Finals, posting a 1.17 GAA and .925 SV% in those games. Through 14 playoff games, Andersen is 12-2-0 with a 1.65 GAA, .920 SV% and three shutouts. Carolina enters Game 2 as -152 home favourites.

At age 36, Frederik Andersen enters the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in his career and will look to build on what has been an extraordinary postseason run thus far.

The Hurricanes enter Game One on Tuesday as -151 home favourites against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Andersen saved all 18 shots he faced in Tuesday's 4-0 Game Four win over the Montreal Canadiens, setting a franchise record for three shutouts in a single postseason, and more importantly, helping his team take a commanding 3-1 series lead. The 36-year-old goalie has battled occasional inconsistencies in previous playoff runs, but has been terrific this year, posting a stellar 1.44 GAA and .928 SV% in 12 games (11-1). The Hurricanes hope to advance to the Stanley Cup finals with a victory, entering Game Five as sizeable -239 home favourites.

Andersen has not had the same dominance he had through the first two rounds of the playoffs, posting a 1.12 GAA and .950 SV% in eight games (8-0), but has remained a steady option between the pipes for the Hurricanes. The 36-year-old Andersen has faced only 46 shots through three games against the Montreal Canadiens, allowing nine goals (.804 SV%), but has made some timely saves to help ensure a 2-1 series lead. The Hurricanes enter a pivotal Game Four as -147 road favourites.

Andersen was hardly tested in Game 2 on Saturday, seeing just 12 shots across 63 minutes of game-time, but the Hurricanes still needed overtime to secure the 3-2 victory. The 36-year-old netminder hasn't looked his sharpest through the opening two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, but he still leads the NHL Playoffs with a .927 SV%. Andersen and the Hurricanes enter action in Game 3 as road favourites at -140 on the money line.
