Islanders recall defenseman Reinhart from AHL

The New York Islanders recalled defenseman Griffin Reinhart from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League on Monday.

Reinhart's call-up comes with the status of defenseman Travis Hamonic in doubt heading into the Eastern Conference First Round Series against the Washington Capitals. Hamonic appeared to sustain a lower-body injury Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins and didn't play in the regular-season finale Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Islanders coach Jack Capuano had no update Monday on Hamonic and said he wasn't sure if he'd play in Game 1 on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; USA, TVA Sports, SN, CSN-DC), according to ESPN.com. Hamonic had five goals, 33 points and 85 penalty minutes along with a plus-15 rating in 71 games this season.

Seguin out for Stars after being late for practice

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin will not play Saturday after being late to practice Friday, coach Lindy Ruff said, according to the team.

The Stars, who have already been eliminated from playoff contention, play their regular-season finale against the Nashville Predators. The Predators have already clinched second place in the Central Division, and await to see which team they'll play in a Western Conference First Round series. Nashville will play either the Chicago Blackhawks or the Minnesota Wild, pending the results Saturday.

Seguin is first on the Stars with 37 goals and second on the team with 77 points in 71 games played this season.

Jamie Benn, who is third in the NHL with 83 points and one behind co-leaders John Tavares and Sidney Crosby, will not have typical linemate Seguin to help him pursue his first Art Ross Trophy.

At the Rink: Ducks at Bruins

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins should have forward David Krejci in their lineup when they face the Anaheim Ducks at TD Garden on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; NHLN-US, TVA Sports PRIME, NESN).

Coach Claude Julien classified Krejci as probable.

Krejci has missed 15 games since sustaining a partially torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee Feb. 20 against the St. Louis Blues. In his absence the Bruins went 8-4-3, but they are 0-3-2 in their past five games.

With seven goals and 26 points in 38 games, Krejci could give a lift to a team that has nine goals in its past five games.

Cooper: Lightning's win against Bruins 'a relief'

Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper joined NHL Live to look back at a big win Sunday against the Boston Bruins and ahead to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Lightning, 7-1-1 in their past nine games, trail the Atlantic Division-leading Montreal Canadiens by two points but hold an eight-point lead over the Detroit Red Wings for second place and home-ice advantage in the Eastern Conference First Round.

Tampa Bay's win Sunday was its first against Boston since March 13, 2012, a stretch of 10 games.

"It was a little bit of a relief," Cooper said. "I think I'm coming up on my two-year anniversary with the team and that was the one team, for me anyway being behind the bench, I've yet to steal a win until [Sunday] night, so it was pretty special."

At the Rink: Wild at Maple Leafs

There hasn't been a lot to celebrate in Toronto recently but there will be a pregame ceremony to honor Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Eric Brewer for playing in his 1,000th career game Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.

Entering the Maple Leafs' game against the Minnesota Wild on Monday, Brewer has 75 goals and 267 points in 1,000 games with six teams. But since coming to the Maple Leafs in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on March 2, Brewer has one assist and a minus-9 rating in nine games.

Those numbers led him to come up with a unique use for the silver stick he'll receive from the NHL for reaching the 1,000-game milestone.

"Should probably use it the way I've been handling the puck," Brewer said in a video posted on the Maple Leafs website.
