Gudbranson picked up an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 2. Gudbranson had a shot in the first period that led to a rebound goal for Brett Ritchie. It was Gudbranson's first assist in nine postseason outings this year, and just the second playoff point of his career -- his last was a goal with the Penguins in 2018-19. The defenseman has added 22 shots, 14 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in a third-pairing role during these playoffs, but he's not expected to be much of a factor on offense.

Gudbranson, who's been on the shelf with an undisclosed injury, is expected to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's game versus Vegas, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports. Gudbranson will likely return to a bottom-pairing role following his three-game absence. The 30-year-old blueliner has notched 17 points and 132 hits through 70 contests this season.

Gudbranson (undisclosed) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Kraken, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports. Gudbranson will miss his third straight game, though it remains unclear if he's actually hurt or just scratched. His next chance to play is Thursday versus the Golden Knights.

Gudbranson (undisclosed) will miss a second straight game Saturday versus the Kraken, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.

Gudbranson logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blues. Gudbranson has a goal and an assist in his last two contests. That's not as unusual as it's been in previous years for the hard-hitting defenseman, who is up to a career-high 17 points in 68 games. He's added 111 shots on net, 129 hits, 79 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating. Michael Stone slotted into a second-pairing role Saturday with Oliver Kylington (upper body) out, so it doesn't appear Gudbranson will move off of the third pairing.
