Winnipeg Jets center Jonathan Toews hasn't yet decided if he will continue his NHL career in 2026-27. The three-time Stanley Cup champions returned from a two-year absence this season, appearing in all 82 regular-season games. He plans to think more about his future "in the next couple of weeks to a month." Toews, who will be 38 next week, had a career-low 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) this season, but he's happy with his comeback campaign. "I think if I'm being honest with myself and I look back to a couple of years ago where I was at, yeah, it definitely feels like a huge accomplishment," Toews said. "I'm very proud that I went after it and did what I could to get back to this level and to play in the NHL again." Toews may no longer be a significant fantasy factor, but he could still serve teams effectively in a bottom-six role if he decides to return for a 17th NHL season.

Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau (hip) believes he will be available at the start of training camp in the fall. The 32-year-old underwent season-ending hip surgery in March. "That was probably one of the main reasons I kind of wanted to do it earlier, so I could be fully back next year," Huberdeau said. "I feel pretty good. It's been six weeks, so I think I'm just looking forward to getting back on the ice. It's been going pretty well right now, so hopefully it keeps going like that and I can be back on the ice in late June." Huberdeau's time in Calgary has been disappointing, and he was limited to 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 50 games this season. He has averaged fewer points only once in his 14-year NHL career. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a major improvement from Huberdeau in 2026-27.

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (lower body) is considered doubtful for Game 4 against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. After the teams split the first two games, the series will shift to Saint Paul on Wednesday, and Hintz hasn't traveled with the team. The Finnish forward has been nursing a lower-body injury since early March. Despite his absence, the Stars finished the regular season strongly. They also kicked into gear in Game 2 against Minnesota, with Wyatt Johnston, Hintz's replacement as the top-line center, scoring twice in the 4-2 victory.

Edmonton Oilers center Adam Henrique (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's Game 2 against the Anaheim Ducks, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports. The veteran forward was injured in a collision with teammate Kasperi Kapanen on Monday night, when Edmonton kicked off the series with a 4-3 win. Curtis Lazar or Josh Samanski will replace Henrique on the fourth line. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch praised Samanski for his play on the line with Colton Dach and Trent Frederic late in the season. At the same time, Lazar would offer more experience and physicality.
