  • Two helpers in series-clinching win
    McDavid logged a pair of assists in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 win over Los Angeles.

    Advice: McDavid set up Leon Draisaitl's game-tying power-play goal midway through the second period before adding another helper on Draisaitl's go-ahead tally just a few minutes later. McDavid recorded at least one assist in all five games in the series. He's totaled a league-high 12 points (one goal, 11 assists) so far this postseason. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:57 am
     
  • Punches ticket to next round
    Andersen made 22 saves Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Islanders in Game 5 of the Hurricanes' first-round series.

    Advice: Carolina never trailed in the game as they cruised into the second round. Andersen has a firm hold on the No. 1 job in net for the 'Canes after beginning the playoffs with a 4-1 record, 2.25 GAA and .912 save percentage, but he'll face a tougher test in the next round against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Rangers.

  • Finds twine Tuesday
    Toffoli scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

    Advice: Toffoli's goal tied the game at 3-3 early in the third period, but the Jets weren't able to score again after that. The winger had two goals, eight shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating over five playoff appearances. Toffoli posted 55 points, 229 shots, 75 hits and a minus-6 rating over 79 regular-season appearances between the Jets and the Devils this year. He is one of two unrestricted free agents among the Jets' forwards, and given his lack of playoff performance, he may be looking for a new home in the offseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:48 pm
     
  • Credited with goal in loss
    Connor scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Connor was awarded the Jets' first goal after a series of blunders led to the Avalanche putting the puck in their own net. The winger had three goals, two assists, 19 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over five playoff outings during the Jets' first-round exit. Connor has two years remaining on his contract and should continue to be a top-six force for the Jets in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:43 pm
     
  • Produces pair of helpers
    Toews notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

    Advice: Toews set up goals by Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen in this contest. The 30-year-old Toews ends the first round with five points, five shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five appearances. He continues to play in a top-pairing role, and he shares enough ice time with the Avalanche's best players to put him in a good position to pick up fairly steady point production along the way.

  • Guarding goal in Game 5
    Andersen will patrol the home crease Tuesday in Game 5 against the Islanders, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Advice: Andersen is coming off a 32-save effort in a 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday in Game 4. He has stopped 103 of 112 shots en route to a 3-1 record this postseason. The Hurricanes can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:43 pm
     
  • Assists in back-to-back games
    Seguin logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Seguin helped out on a Wyatt Johnston equalizer in the second period. This was Seguin's second helper in as many contests, and he's added 11 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-2 rating over four playoff games. The 32-year-old seems to be clicking well on the third line with Evgenii Dadonov and Joe Pavelski, though they'll likely only be relied on for depth scoring going forward.

  • Fills empty cage
    Hintz scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: The goal ended a six-game slump for Hintz, who continues to see top-line usage despite the lack of offense. He's added seven shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-1 rating through four playoff contests. Hintz had a down year in the regular season but still managed 30 goals, 65 points, 182 shots on net and a plus-26 rating over 80 appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:21 pm
     
  • Stuck with loss in Game 5
    Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 37 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Advice: Vasilevskiy couldn't hold back the relentless Panthers offense, taking his fourth loss in five playoff games. The 29-year-old gave up 16 goals on 156 shots, good for an .897 save percentage, during the postseason. Vasilevskiy remains entrenched as the Lightning's No. 1 goalie heading in 2024-25, though he'll be looking to rebound from the statistically worst season of his career -- he had a 30-20-2 record, a 2.90 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 52 regular-season outings in 2023-24.
