DeBrincat 40, Seider 60: Wings Ride Milestones to Narrow Playoff Hopes

Alex DeBrincat notched his 40th goal, Dylan Larkin matched a career high with 34, and Moritz Seider added a 60th-point season with a 5-point night as Detroit beat the Flyers 6-3 to keep playoff hopes flickering. The win highlights a big-night milestone run while underscoring the Wings’ still-narrow path to the postseason (roughly 5.8% odds), with Seider in Norris Trophy contention, DeBrincat’s looming contract questions, Kane approaching 1,400 career points, and Detroit needing to finish strong and get help from others.

Canes rely on depth for Chicago showdown

Carolina Hurricanes rest several regulars for the April 9 game at Chicago, recalling four players from the AHL’s Chicago Wolves as they near the playoffs. Coach Rod Brind'Amour indicated at least three of Skyler Brind'Amour, Charles Alexis Legault, Bradly Nadeau and Josiah Slavin could skate, while defenseman Jalen Chatfield will not play due to injury. Frederik Andersen is expected to start in goal, with Pyotr Kochetkov sidelined after hip surgery. The projected lineup features Svechnikov-Aho-Jarvis on the top line and Slavin-Chatfield on defense, with Gostisbehere-Nikishin on the second pair and Jordan Staal handling some first-period power-play duties, underscoring the team’s focus on health ahead of the playoffs.

Carlson’s first career hat trick helps Ducks crush Sharks

John Carlson scored his first career hat trick in his 1,143rd NHL game (all with the Capitals before joining the Ducks), fueling Anaheim’s 6-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. His three goals—scored as the Ducks’ 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of his Ducks tenure—boost his season total to 14 and position him among a small group of defensemen 36 or older to record a hat trick in NHL history.

Kings Seek Third Straight Win as Forsberg Backstops Clash with Canucks

The Los Angeles Kings host the Vancouver Canucks in a pivotal late-season matchup at Crypto.com Arena, aiming for a third straight win to bolster their playoff hopes. Anton Forsberg starts in goal, with the lineup largely set and Quinton Byfield expected to play despite maintenance concerns. With five games remaining, L.A. sits just behind Nashville for the final wild-card spot, while Vancouver begins a California road trip looking to gain momentum. The result could influence the tight Western Conference standings as the Kings push to control their destiny at WC2.
