ImpactGravel has moved between leagues five times in April. He could be recalled again before the Predators' last two games of the season.

Kevin Gravel - Shuffles back to AHLGravel was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.
Nikita Zadorov - Ends season with hat trickZadorov recorded a hat trick on five shots, added two hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
ImpactZadorov scored all of the Flames' goals in their season finale. Prior to this contest, he'd never had a multi-goal game in his career. The 27-year-old blueliner finished 2022-23 with a career-high 14 tallies but fell one point short of matching last year's 22 after notching just seven assists this season. The big defenseman added 130 shots on net, 174 hits, 80 PIM and a plus-10 rating, finding some success as a physical shutdown defender.

Dustin Wolf - Wins NHL debutWolf stopped 23 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
ImpactWolf gave up the opening goal to Noah Gregor, but otherwise was solid, continuing his strong play from a fantastic AHL campaign. The 21-year-old Wolf is set to return to AHL Calgary for its playoff run, but this first taste of NHL play is encouraging. He could contend for the backup role behind Jacob Markstrom next fall.

Nazem Kadri - Provides helper WednesdayKadri logged an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
ImpactKadri's first year with the Flames came to a close with a respectable 56 points in 82 contests, including a goal and three assists over his last six outings. He was always a long shot to repeat last year's 87-point campaign, and his 2022-23 production still counts as his third-highest point total. He added 267 shots on net, 99 hits, 56 PIM and a minus-19 rating.

Andrew Mangiapane - Offers assist WednesdayMangiapane provided an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
ImpactMangiapane struggled at times this season, but he finished with three goals and five assists over his last eight games. For the year, he produced 17 tallies, 26 helpers, 182 shots on net, 86 hits and a plus-12 rating through 82 contests. If his shooting percentage can rebound from its career-low 9.3 percent mark, he should be able to put together a bounce-back campaign in 2023-24.

Mikael Backlund - Adds assist in finaleBacklund notched an assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
ImpactBacklund finished 2022-23 with two goals and five assists over his last eight contests. It was the best season of his career -- the center had 56 points (19 goals, 37 assists) with 260 shots on net, 97 hits and a plus-24 rating while playing in all 82 games. Now 34 years old, it could be tough for him to repeat those numbers next season, but he should remain a solid middle-six forward.

MacKenzie Weegar - Logs assist in winWeegar notched an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
ImpactWeegar set up the second of Nikita Zadorov's three goals in the game. The helper allowed Weegar to end the season on a high note as he snapped a four-game drought. The 29-year-old finished his first year with the Flames at four goals, 27 assists, 160 shots on net, 186 hits, 117 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 81 appearances.
