  • First goalie off Friday
    Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll tend the twine for Game 6 on the road against the Predators.

    Advice: Silovs will make his third straight appearance in goal for the Canucks, having gone 1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .904 save percentage in his previous two outings. Despite just 11 games of NHL experience, coach Rick Tocchet will stick with the 23-year-old Silovs ahead of Casey DeSmith. Rotowire.com Today, 8:50 am
     
  • Takes another loss
    Swayman stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.

    Advice: Swayman has lost back-to-back games, but he still hasn't given up more than two goals in any of his five first-round starts. William Nylander had both tallies Thursday, scoring in the final minute of the second period on a deflected shot and adding another goal late in the third. With the Bruins facing Game 7, it's unclear if head coach Jim Montgomery will stick with Swayman or switch to Linus Ullmark on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Forces Game 7
    Woll stopped 22 of 23 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

    Advice: Woll has won back-to-back starts, stopping 49 of 51 shots in that span. The 25-year-old nearly had his first postseason shutout Thursday, but a Morgan Geekie goal in the final second spoiled it. Woll is almost certain to start Saturday's Game 7 in Boston after pulling the Maple Leafs back from the brink following Ilya Samsonov's poor start to the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:45 pm
     
  • Called up from minors
    Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Knight has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Checkers, logging action in 45 regular-season contests in which he posted a 25-14-5 record and .905 save percentage. Even with his promotion, Knight shouldn't be expected to get into any games, primarily serving as an emergency option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz.

  • Set to start Thursday
    Swayman is slated to tend the twine on the road in Game 6 against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Swayman has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage while going 3-2-0. After the Game 5 loss Tuesday, there was certainly a chance the Bruins would turn back to Linus Ullmark, however, they will continue to ride Swayman into Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:27 am
     
  • Slated to start Game 6
    Woll was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS,ca, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Boston on Thursday.

    Advice: Woll has been sensational versus the Bruins in the postseason, giving up one goal on 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday in Game 5. He also stopped all five shots he faced in Game 4 after replacing Ilya Samsonov to start the third period. Woll has seen action in just 36 regular-season games in his NHL career, but he looked like a seasoned veteran while prevailing over the Bruins on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:25 am
     
  • Falls to Edmonton
    Rittich allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 loss to the Oilers.

    Advice: Rittich and the Kings couldn't overcome Edmonton's three-goal second period in the series-deciding loss. The 31-year-old Rittich started the series' final two games, going 0-2-0 with an .872 save percentage after Cam Talbot struggled in the first three games. Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. Rittich could be looking for an opportunity to win a starting gig as a free agent this summer.
