  • Game-time call
    Henrique (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Game 2 against Dallas on Saturday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Advice: Henrique, who missed the last six games, participated in Saturday morning's skate. He has produced one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six outings this postseason. If Henrique receives clearance to play, the 34-year-old forward could occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:22 am
     
  • Scores lone goal in loss
    Verhaeghe scored a goal and added two shots with a minus-1 rating in 21:03 of ice time in Friday's 2-1 Game 2 overtime loss versus New York.

    Advice: Verhaeghe has points in three consecutive games after potting a goal on the power play in Friday's loss. The 28-year-old is a crucial part of Florida's attack -- he's second on the team in points during the postseason behind only Matthew Tkachuk. Verhaeghe is up to a team-leading eight goals and six assists in 13 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:36 pm
     
  • Logs assist in loss
    Benn posted an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Benn capitalized on a turnover to set up Tyler Seguin's first goal of the game at 6:11 of the second period. While Benn wasn't much of a factor in the first round, he put up five points over six contests in the second round. The 34-year-old has nine points, 31 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 14 playoff outings while filling a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:28 pm
     
  • Gathers helper in Game 1
    Robertson posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Robertson still hasn't scored since Game 5 of the first round, but he's made up for it with eight helpers over his last seven contests. The winger is at 13 points, 28 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 14 playoff contests. Robertson continues to hold down a top-six role, and his increased physical play helps bolster his value in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:26 pm
     
  • Pockets helper in win
    Nugent-Hopkins logged an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

  • Point streak at 13 games
    Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Draisaitl opened the scoring 58 seconds into the second period, extending his point streak to 13 games in the process. It spans the entire postseason, with the center earning a league-leading 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) during the playoffs. Draisaitl has added 48 shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. He's started the Western Conference Finals on his own line, but if the Oilers falter later in the series, he could once again be moved up to play alongside Connor McDavid.

  • One of each Thursday
    Hyman scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and added three hits in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Hyman assisted on a Leon Draisaitl goal early in the second period and then scored one of his own later in the frame. The 31-year-old Hyman has scored in three straight games since going three contests without a point. The winger is up to 12 goals, three helpers, 54 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-8 rating through 13 playoff outings. The Oilers' top players will be critical to their success in the Western Conference Finals against a balanced Stars roster, and Hyman is off to a strong start. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:02 pm
     
  • Most ice time of any forward
    Panarin didn't register a point in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Panarin was on the ice for almost 25 minutes in Wednesday's loss, but he was unable to provide any offensive production for New York. It's been a tough stretch for the star winger -- over his last four games Panarin only has two helpers and a minus-7 rating. The 32-year-old is up to four goals, seven assists and a minus-5 rating in 11 contests so far this postseason. Panarin and the Rangers will attempt to avoid falling into a two-game deficit in the series when they're back in action for Game 2 on Friday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:55 am
