  • Breaks up shutout late
    Geekie scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.

    Advice: Geekie tallied in the final second of the game, but it only served to break up Joseph Woll's shutout. Through six playoff outings, Geekie has two goals, one assist, nine shots on net, 15 hits and an even plus-minus rating.

  • Scores both goals in win
    Nylander scored twice on five shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

The 28-year-old had been held off the scoresheet in his previous two outings after missing the first three games of the playoffs due to an undisclosed issue. He's added 13 shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating while seeing top-six usage during the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:48 pm
