  • Two points in Game 5 loss
    Nelson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.

    Advice: The 32-year-old center did his best to keep his team alive in an elimination game, but the Isles simply didn't have the firepower to keep up with Carolina. Nelson picked up two goals and four points in five postseason contests after supplying 34 goals and 69 points in the regular season, his third straight campaign with 30-plus goals. He has one more season left on his current contract with a $6 million AAV, but there's just $4 million in salary left on Nelson's deal. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:44 am
     
  • Dishes pair of assists
    Zibanejad recorded two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

    Advice: Zibanejad set up goals by Vincent Trocheck and Artemi Panarin in this contest. In the first round, Zibanejad was active on offense with a goal, six assists, four power-play points and 12 shots on net over four games. He should continue to see heavy usage in all situations throughout the playoffs. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:19 pm
     
  • Nets power-play marker
    Trocheck scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

    Advice: Trocheck scored late in the first period to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead. The 30-year-old wrapped up the first round with three goals, three assists, three power-play points, nine shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over four contests. Trocheck is locked in as the second-line center and should continue to be a strong source of offense throughout the postseason. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:12 pm
     
  • Two helpers in Game 3 win
    Zibanejad notched two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 win over the Capitals.

    Advice: Zibanejad has back-to-back two-point performances, racking up one goal and four helpers during a three-game point streak. The 31-year-old center has helped put the Rangers on the brink of a first-round sweep of the Caps. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:01 am
     
  • Shines on special teams Friday
    Trocheck scored a power-play goal and added a shorthanded assist in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 win over the Capitals.

    Advice: That's back-to-back two-point efforts for the 30-year-old as the Rangers move closer to sweeping the Caps. Friday's power-play tally was Trocheck's first since March 9, but he has two goals and five points through three playoff games -- a big turnaround after he finished the regular season with zero goals and two assists in eight April contests.

  • Nets first of the playoffs
    Nelson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Nelson cut the Islanders' deficit to 3-2 with 2:21 remaining in the second period, burying a rebound past Frederik Andersen, though New York would ultimately come up a goal short in the Game 3 loss. It's the first goal and second point for Nelson in the postseason. The 32-year-old center tallied 34 goals and 69 points in 82 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:04 pm
