The Coyotes have signed Troy Stecher to a one-year contract worth $1.2 million.

With the Oilers facing elimination, they will be without their best defenseman in Game 6. Nurse missed the final four games of the regular season with an injury and the Oilers went 3-1-0 without him.
Frederic failed to record a point with six hits and 14 PIMS while averaging 8:20 TOI/gm in the first two games of the series. Frederic will be replaced by Chris Wagner in the Bruins' bottom-6.
Nurse missed the final four games of the regular season with a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision for Game 1 vs. the Kings.
