  • Unavailable for World Championship
    Larkin won't represent Team USA at the 2024 IIHF World Championship because of an undisclosed injury, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Larkin will use the offseason to recover instead, which should put him on track to be available for training camp in the fall. He finished the 2023-24 season with 33 goals and 69 points in 68 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Scores in Game 5
    Kempe scored a goal on a team-high three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 loss to Edmonton.

    Advice: Kempe cut the Kings' deficit to one goal 17:42 into the third period, deflecting a Matt Roy shot past Stuart Skinner, though Los Angeles would ultimately come up short as Edmonton took the series in five games. Still, it was a strong effort from Kempe, who tallied four goals and five points in the series. He posted a career-high 75 points (28 goals, 47 assists) in 77 regular-season contests.

  • Two goals to clinch series
    Draisaitl scored a pair of goals on a team-high six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 victory over the Kings.

    Advice: Draisaitl tied the game 2-2 midway through the second period with a power-play goal before putting Edmonton ahead just a few minutes later with a second tally, beating David Rittich with a one-timer off a Connor McDavid feed. It was an excellent start to the post-season for Draisaitl -- the 28-year-old center tallied five goals and 10 points in the Oilers' decisive five-game series victory.

  • Earns two assists in win
    Skjei recorded two assists in a 6-3 victory over the Islanders in Game 5 on Tuesday.

    Advice: While Skjei remains goalless in his last 11 outings, the blueliner has tallied an impressive 10 helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. With injuries piling up among the Canes' defensemen, the 30-year-old Skjei could see an uptick in both even strength and power-play minutes heading into the next round of the playoffs.

  • Three points to finish off Isles
    Jarvis scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in a 6-3 win over the Islanders on Tuesday in Game 5.

    Advice: The 22-year-old helped set up Carolina's first two tallies as the team grabbed a 2-0 lead inside the first four minutes of the first period. Jarvis then iced things late with an empty-netter. He piled up three goals and seven points in five games against the Isles, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the Hurricanes' second-round clash with the Rangers.

  • Sets up empty-netter
    Mittelstadt recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

    Advice: Mittelstadt fed Josh Manson late in the third period to finish the game and Colorado's first-round series. The 25-year-old Mittelstadt contributed a goal, five assists, 15 shots on net and a plus-5 rating from his second-line role during the first round. The center should be able to continue generating offense, though he may not be the steadiest scorer on the team if the Avalanche face more resistance in later rounds.

  • Scores in Game 4 loss
    Eichel scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Eichel put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the second period, but their offense stalled out there. The 27-year-old is riding an eight-game point streak, which includes three goals and three helpers over four playoff contests. The center remains a huge part of the Vegas offense and will look to get his team back on track in Wednesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:55 pm
     
  • Snags helper in loss
    Hagel recorded an assist, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: Hagel posted three goals, two assists, eight shots on net and 13 hits over five playoff appearances. The winger solidified his status as a top-six winger for the Lightning in 2023-24, earning 26 goals, 75 points, 184 shots on net and 79 PIM over 82 regular-season appearances. He earned an eight-year contract extension last summer, which will begin in 2024-25, so Hagel should be a key piece for the Lightning's offense for years to come. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:48 pm
     
  • Records assist in win
    Mittelstadt registered an assist and five shots on goal in Game 4 in a 5-1 victory over Winnipeg on Sunday.

    Advice: Mittelstadt has been solid in the postseason, generating five points, 15 shots and five hits in four playoff contests. In his 22 games for the Avalanche since being acquired at the trade deadline, the 25-year-old center has produced offensively with five goals and 10 assists, though just one of those points has come with the man advantage.
