    • Finds twine in loss
      Pettersson scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: Pettersson opened the scoring at 4:14 of the first period. The tally was his first since April 10, and he managed just four helpers and 13 shots on net over the 10 contests between goals. Pettersson is at four points, 13 shots on net and 16 hits through eight postseason appearances, which is not great production from a top-six center who posted 34 goals and 89 points in the regular season.

    • Falls in overtime
      Kochetkov allowed three goals on 25 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

      Advice: Making his first appearance of the postseason, Kochetkov held the Rangers off the board in the first period. However, New York would answer with goals in the second and third before Artemi Panarin tallied the game-winner in overtime. The 24-year-old Kochetkov served as Carolina's primary starting option while Frederik Andersen was unavailable for much of the regular season -- he went 23-13-4 with a .911 save percentage. Andersen will likely be back in net Saturday for Game 4. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:13 am
       
    • Holds on for win
      Oettinger allowed three goals on 31 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

      Advice: Oettinger blew a lead in Game 1, and the Avalanche nearly pulled off another comeback Thursday, but the 25-year-old held his ground this time. The Avalanche have already proven to be challenging -- Oettinger has given up seven goals over his last two games after giving up a total of 10 tallies over the final six contests of the first round. The series is even at one game apiece, with Game 3 scheduled for Saturday in Denver. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:57 pm
       
    • Draws Game 2 start
      Oettinger will guard the home goal versus the Avalanche in Thursday's Game 2, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Oettinger failed to protect a 3-0 lead in Tuesday's Game 1, but he'll get the chance to bounce back. The 25-year-old is 4-4 with a 2.15 GAA and a .915 save percentage through eight playoff outings. He has lost three of his four appearances against Colorado this season.

    • In goal for Game 3
      Kochetkov will get the starting nod at home versus the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

      Advice: Kochetkov will make his first appearance in goal for the Canes since April 14 against the Blackhawks, a stretch of eight games on the bench. While the team did split the workload between the 24-year-old backstop and Frederik Andersen down the stretch, if Kochetkov does secure a win in Game 3, he should probably be considered a lock to start Game 4 as well.

    • Ready to rock for Game 1
      Pettersson (illness) will play Wednesday in Game 1 versus the Oilers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Pettersson should slot into his usual spots on the second line and first power-play unit Wednesday. The 25-year-old pivot was a bit pedestrian in the first round against the Predators, picking up just three helpers across six outings after racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season contests.

    • Falls in OT
      Oettinger allowed four goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 Game 1 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

      Advice: Oettinger and the Stars jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. However, Colorado would tie the game with a pair of power-play markers in the second and a Nathan MacKinnon goal 39 seconds into the third before Miles Wood beat Oettinger for the game-winner in overtime. It's the first time that Oettinger's allowed more than two goals in a game since the first game of the opening round against Vegas. The 25-year-old netminder now sports a .915 save percentage with a 2.15 GAA through eight postseason contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:14 am
       
    • Under the weather
      Pettersson isn't practicing Tuesday due to an illness, leaving his status for Wednesday's Game 1 versus Edmonton in doubt, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

      Advice: After racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season outings, Pettersson was a bit of a disappointment during Vancouver's first-round series win over the Predators, picking up three helpers while firing just eight shots on net through six contests. Another update on his status for Game 1 will likely surface following Wednesday's morning skate. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:44 am
       
    • Gets nod for Game 1
      Oettinger will start Game 1 on Tuesday at home against Colorado in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

      Advice: Oettinger was stellar in the first round against Vegas, recording a .925 save percentage and allowing only 14 goals in seven appearances. The 25-year-old will have a tough matchup against Colorado, who leads the league in playoff goals with 28 in only five games. The Stars will likely continue to ride Oettinger throughout their postseason run. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:00 am
