  • Adds insurance marker
    McLeod scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: McLeod tacked on a goal late in the third period. He's scored in consecutive contests for the first time since December. Through 21 playoff outings, the 24-year-old has just three goals with 22 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-5 rating. Given his lack of production, it's no surprise he remains in a bottom-six role with minimal power-play time. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:58 pm
     
  • Two points in win
    Janmark scored a shorthanded goal, logged an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Janmark made his impact early Saturday, scoring the opening goal and setting up Adam Henrique on the Oilers' second tally. Prior to Saturday, Janmark had gone without a point in his previous five games. The winger contributed three goals, three assists, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating over 22 playoff contests in a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:47 pm
     
  • Breakout effort in win
    Holloway scored twice, dished an assist, went plus-3, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Holloway hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since the second round, and he saw just 5:24 of ice time in Game 3 versus the Panthers. He responded to the benching in a big way, scoring in the first and third periods to help the Oilers force Game 5. Through 22 playoff outings, the 22-year-old forward has five goals, two assists, 28 shots on net, 73 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role.

  • Inks two-way contract
    Reinhardt signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Friday.

    Advice: Reinhardt had eight goals, 23 points and 76 PIM in 56 regular-season contests with AHL Belleville in 2023-24. The 24-year-old appeared in one NHL game in 2021-22, but he hasn't played at the top level over the past two campaigns. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:45 pm
     
  • Returning to Europe
    Simek signed a three-year contract with Liberec of the Czech Extraliga on Friday.

    Advice: The 31-year-old defenseman has played parts of five seasons with the Sharks but he spent the entire 2023-24 season at the AHL level, picking up four goals and 13 assists in 49 games split between Grand Rapids and AHL San Jose. The Czech native will likely finish his playing career in Europe. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:49 am
     
  • Inks overseas deal
    Henriksson agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Swedish club Vaxjo Lakers on Thursday.

    Advice: Henriksson will be a restricted free agent for the Rangers this offseason, so the team could retain his NHL rights by giving him a qualifying offer. Having said that, the fact that Henriksson signed a three-year deal with a Swedish team suggests he won't be making a return to North America any time soon, so the Rangers could simply decide to let him walk. In the minors this year, the 23-year-old center generated 11 goals and 12 assists in 64 games -- that's not the type of productivity New York was hoping for when they selected him in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft.

  • Finds twine in loss
    McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: McLeod has two goals over his last six contests, but that represents all of his offense this postseason. The 24-year-old was shuffled onto the second line with Evander Kane (hip) unavailable for Thursday's contest, though McLeod still saw just 9:53 of ice time. In addition to his two points, he's added 21 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-6 rating through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:49 pm
     
  • Nets goal in Game 3 win
    Tarasenko scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Tarasenko put the Panthers ahead 2-1 with his second-period tally on a feed from Eetu Luostarinen. While Tarasenko hasn't played a starring role for the Panthers, he's scored a goal in all four of the team's series while adding four assists over 20 playoff contests. He's also posted 37 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-6 rating while filling a third-line role with power-play time. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:24 pm
