Stanley Questionable, Jarry Rumors, Bedard Skips Worlds
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Logan Stanley is questionable for game six due to illness, with Michael Kesselring a potential playoff debut if he can’t go; his activation would shape a third pairing with two right-shot defenders. The Edmonton Oilers are under pressure to upgrade goaltending this offseason, as Tristan Jarry’s $5.375M AAV and a .858 save percentage in 19 games complicate a move or buyout. Meanwhile, Connor Bedard will skip Team Canada’s IIHF World Championships to rehab a shoulder injury, despite a 30-goal, 75-point season this year.
