    • Brings physicality in Game 1
      Marchment dished out eight hits to go with five shots in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday.

      Advice: Marchment remains mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he's recorded 13 shots while also delivering 33 hits. Currently skating on a line with Matt Duchene and Joe Pavelski, the 28-year-old Marchment will likely need to start producing offensively in order to remain in a top-six role, especially once Roope Hintz (upper body) is cleared to return.

    • Minus-3 in loss
      Lafreniere was held off the scoresheet in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Florida in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

      Advice: Lafreniere has failed to find the scoresheet in three straight outings after registering 10 points over his first eight games of the postseason. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick had three shots on goal, four hits, two blocks and two PIM in 17:23 of ice time Wednesday. The 22-year-old winger has four goals and six assists with a minus-2 rating in 11 contests so far this postseason. Lafreniere and the Rangers will attempt to even up the series in Game 2 on Friday night. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:50 am
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Marchand (upper body) is warming up and is expected to play Friday in Game 6 against the Panthers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Marchand will get back in the lineup after missing Games 4 and 5 due to an injury he sustained during Game 3. He tallied two assists in the first three games of the series and has 10 this postseason. He'll slide back into his usual top-six role and see time with the No. 1 power-play unit.

    • Officially game-time call
      Marchand (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Coach Jim Montgomery was almost never going to confirm Marchand in the lineup considering we are in the postseason. Fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach, though the fact that Marchand was working with the No. 1 power-play unit Thursday should indicate his availability. If he does suit up, the veteran will be looking to end a six-game goal-scoring drought in order to help the Bruins stave off elimination. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:38 am
       
    • Loses Game 5 late
      Pickard allowed three goals on 35 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: Pickard allowed a goal in each period, including J.T. Miller's game-winner in the final minute of the third. While it wasn't a bad start, Pickard is now 1-1 with five goals allowed on 56 shots over his two playoff starts. The 32-year-old netminder has offered a bit more stability for the Oilers, but it's unclear if he'll again get the nod in Saturday's must-win Game 6. If not, head coach Kris Knoblauch could turn back to Stuart Skinner with the season on the line. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:57 pm
       
    • In goal for Game 5
      Pickard will get the starting nod in Game 5 on the road against Vancouver on Thursday, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Pickard stopped 19 of 21 shots faced in Game 4, posting a .905 save percentage and a 2.00 GAA. While the 32-year-old backstop is making his second straight start, any stumbles by Pickard could see Stuart Skinner reclaim his spot as the No. 1 netminder for Edmonton.

    • Still considered day-to-day
      Marchand (upper body) was again labeled day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Marchand did practice with the No. 1 power-play unit, which is a good indication that he will be back in the lineup Friday even if coach Jim Montgomery wouldn't confirm his captain's status. If given the all-clear, Marchand should immediately reclaim a top-six role, as he looks to end a six-game goal drought that dates back to April 27 versus the Maple Leafs.

    • Pots goal in loss
      Stankoven scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

      Advice: Stankoven has found a groove with four points, including three goals, over his last three games. The 21-year-old's tally in the third period brought the Stars back within a goal, but they couldn't find an equalizer. He's up to six points, 24 shots on net, 19 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 12 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:54 pm
       
    • One of each in win
      MacKinnon scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen set up each other's goals in the contest. The marker was MacKinnon's first since Game 1 of the second round, though he's still managed five points over as many contests in the series. He's at four goals, 10 helpers, 40 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 10 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:24 pm
