    • Gets starting nod for Tuesday
      Varlamov will be between the road pipes for Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

      Advice: As expected, Varlamov gets the nod after having put together a strong showing in Game 4. He stopped 42 of 44 shots on net in that must-win contest. At this point, the 36-year-old Varlamov figures to continue trying to stave off elimination for the Islanders for as long as he can. Rotowire.com Today, 8:49 am
       
    • Finds twine in Game 4 loss
      Forsberg scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Forsberg's tally 12 seconds into the third period put the Predators up 3-1, but they couldn't hold the lead. The 29-year-old has done his part with two goals, two assists, 12 shots on net and 12 hits over four playoff contests, but Nashville is facing elimination after Sunday's loss. Forsberg will look to find another gear in Game 5 on Tuesday in Vancouver. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:23 pm
       
    • Picks up helper in overtime win
      Pettersson notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Pettersson helped out on Brock Boeser's game-tying goal with eight seconds left in the third period. The 25-year-old Pettersson has a helper in each of the last two contests. He's added six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over four playoff outings -- struggles that have seen him lose ice time to J.T. Miller in the top six. Pettersson remains in a position to put offense on the board, but he needs to start cashing in a bit more to be useful to fantasy managers in playoff competitions.

    • Two helpers in Game 4 loss
      Tkachuk collected two assists Saturday during a 6-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 4.

      Advice: Both helpers came in the second period as the Panthers tried to rally from an early 3-0 deficit, to no avail. Tkachuk has been outstanding to begin the postseason, and he leads Florida with seven points (three goals, four assists) through four games. He'll look to extend his active point streak to eight games Monday in Game 5, and lead his team into the second round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:24 am
       
    • Busy in Game 4 win
      Varlamov stopped 42 shots Saturday in a 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Islanders' first-round series.

      Advice: The 36-year-old netminder wouldn't let the Isles get swept, making 17 saves in the first OT period alone to give Mathew Barzal a chance to pot the winner. Varlamov has started three of New York's four playoff games so far, posting a stellar 2.08 GAA and .930 save percentage despite a 1-2 record, and he should get the nod again Tuesday for Game 5 as the series shifts back to Carolina.

    • Nets shortie Saturday
      Eichel scored a shorthanded goal on six shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.

      Advice: Eichel's goal in the second period tied the game at 2-2. After finishing the regular season with a four-game point spree (two goals, three assists), the 27-year-old has two tallies and three assists during a three-game point streak to begin the playoffs. The star center has added eight hits, 11 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in the postseason as he continues to be the centerpiece of the Vegas offense. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:59 pm
       
    • Steady in Game 3 win
      Oettinger allowed two goals on 34 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

      Advice: The two goals came in a span of 3:10 during the second period. Other than that, Oettinger was solid in a game that saw the Stars control the pace of play without faltering late in periods as they had earlier in the series. He's won one of three playoff outings while allowing eight goals on 74 shots in that span. The 25-year-old will need to continue playing well to give the Stars a chance to even the series in Monday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:38 pm
       
    • Guarding goal in Game 3
      Oettinger will protect the road goal in Saturday's Game 3 versus the Golden Knights, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Oettinger lost both of the first two contests of the series in Dallas, allowing six goals on 40 shots. He'll get a chance to right the ship in Game 3, though the Stars' season will be in significant danger if he can't get back in the win column. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:17 pm
       
    • Keeps dishing in Game 3 victory
      Hughes earned two power-play assists Friday in a 2-1 win over the Predators in Game 3.

      Advice: Hughes didn't post a shot on goal for the first time in the series, but the point-packing defender has four helpers through three contests against Nashville. Of course, you could say that his performance Friday was just another day at the office for Hughes after he led all NHL defensemen in assists (75) and points (92) during the regular season.
