Roslovic was in the lineup for both Games 1 and 2, but it looks like he'll be replaced by Jesperi Kotkaniemi for Game 3 in Florida. Roslovic has yet to register a point and is a minus-4 in the series.

Kotkaniemi was a healthy scratch for Game 2, but it looks like he'll replace Jack Roslovic in the Hurricanes' lineup for Game 3. Kotkaniemi has no goals and just three assists in 11 playoff games.

This will be Boqvist's first game of the series, and he comes in with one goal, one assist, five SOG and 30 hits in nine playoff games so far. He will replace Sam Reinhart (lower-body) on the Panthers' top line with Aleksander Barkov and Evan Rodrigues.

Petrovic will slot into the lineup after sitting out the first game of round three. Ilya Lyubushkin will sit in his place.

Lyubushkin will take a seat on Friday as the Stars opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for Game 2 of their third round series against the Oilers. Alex Petrovic will draw into the lineup in his place.

Blackwell will slot into the lineup after sitting out the first game of round three. Oskar Back will sit in his place.

Kotkaniemi will take a seat on Thursday as Mark Jankowski returns from an undisclosed injury. Scott Morrow will also draw out in favour of Jalen Chatfield (lower-body).

Nikishin made his NHL debut in Game 5 against the Capitals, filling in for Jalen Chatfield (lower-body). Chatfield is still unavailable for the first game of round three, but the Hurricanes are opting to dress Scott Morrow over Nikishin.

Morrow will make his playoff debut on Tuesday in place of Jalen Chatfield (lower-body). Morrow appeared in 14 games this season, registering one goal and five assists.

Boqvist had a massive Game 5 with a goal, an assist and three shots on goal, but will head to the press box for Game 7 as Evan Rodrigues (undisclosed) returns to the lineup on Sunday. The 26-year-old has appeared in nine playoff games but has only had two points (1G/1A) while playing a complementary role in the Panthers' lineup, averaging only 8:53 TOI/GP.

Rodrigues has missed Florida's previous two games with an undisclosed injury but was a full participant in the morning skate on Sunday and will be a game-time decision for Game 7 in Toronto. The 31-year-old sparkplug has struggled to produce offensively this postseason, with just three assists and a -2 plus/minus in nine games while mostly occupying a top-six role.

Kevin Cheveldayoff announced Saturday that Mark Scheifele's father had passed earlier in the morning. Despite the horrendous news, their star center will still be suiting up for Game 6 on Saturday.

Robertson was Toronto's only goal scorer in Game 5, but will take a seat in the press box for Game 6 on Friday in Florida as Pontus Holmberg returns to the lineup. Robertson has only appeared in three postseason games this year, but still has an impressive 2 points (1G/1a) in 3 games played, despite receiving only 9:59 TOI/GP.

Jarnkrok was a healthy scratch for Toronto's Game 5 loss but will draw back into the lineup on Friday as a replacement for David Kampf. The 33-year-old has been held pointless in Toronto's last nine playoff games and will slot back into the third line on Friday.

Kampf's only playoff appearance was Game 5 vs. Florida, but he will take a seat yet again in the press box as Calle Jarnkrok returns to Toronto's lineup for Game 6. Kampf had five goals and 13 points in the bottom-six role during the regular season but has struggled to find himself in Toronto's lineup for the playoffs.

Despite only having one assist in 10 playoff games, Pontus Holmberg will draw back into Toronto's lineup on their 2nd line for Game 6 in Florida on Friday as he replaces Nicolas Robertson. The 26-year-old winger set career highs during the regular season with 19 points in 68 games played, but has struggled to find any sort of offence during the postseason with one point in 10 playoff games played.
