  • On three-game scoring streak
    Orlov registered an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday.

    Advice: Orlov extended his point streak to three games, giving him a goal and two assists in that span. He's up to four points (two markers) in eight playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with six goals and 26 points across 82 appearances. Orlov is serving primarily on the third pairing without and is seldom used on the power play, but he's getting plenty of work despite that unglamorous assignment -- Orlov has averaged 21:18 of ice time in the 2024 postseason.

  • Cleared to play Friday
    Peeke (finger) will be available for Game 3 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Peeke figures to replace Parker Wotherspoon on the third pairing, though Derek Forbort could also be in danger of being relegated to the press box. Considering the 26-year-old Peeke has managed just one point in his last 15 outings, fantasy players probably shouldn't expect much from him on the offensive end. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
     
  • Registers assist Thursday
    Manson posted an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Manson set up a Joel Kiviranta tally in the third period. The 32-year-old Manson has been surprisingly reliable on offense this postseason, earning six points with 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over seven appearances. That level of production has kept him in a top-four role for the Avalanche, and his physicality adds another layer of intrigue in his game, making him viable in DFS.

  • Gets on scoresheet Thursday
    Lundkvist posted an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Lundkvist's minutes have been heavily managed during the postseason -- he's reached 10 minutes of ice time in just one of nine playoff games. As such, he's produced next to nothing statistically, with the assist being his first point to go with a minus-1 rating, one shot on goal, five hits and one blocked shot. Lundkvist will almost certainly lose his place in the lineup once Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) is fit to play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 pm
     
  • Chips in with helper
    Tanev logged an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Tanev helped out on Esa Lindell's empty-net goal. The assist snapped an 11-game point drought for Tanev, who continues to be a defensive force with little scoring upside during the postseason. He's posted 35 blocked shots, 12 hits, eight shots on net and a plus-5 rating through nine playoff outings following a 19-point regular season across 75 games for Dallas and Calgary.

  • Sets up shortie
    Harley logged a shorthanded assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Harley took a shot, and Tyler Seguin was able to knock in the rebound for the Stars' fourth goal. Both of Harley's helpers this postseason have come within the last three games. The 22-year-old blueliner is up to 18 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while holding down a top-four role through nine playoff contests. Dallas has leaned heavily on its top defensemen, so Harley should continue to see massive minutes even if he's not a significant factor on offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:16 pm
     
  • Fills empty cage
    Lindell scored an empty-net goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Lindell's empty-netter went the length of the ice and cut off the Avalanche's comeback effort. The tally was the defenseman's first point in nine playoff outings. While he hasn't been scoring, the 29-year-old has added 14 hits, 24 blocked shots, 16 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while seeing top-four minutes this postseason.

  • Scores twice in Game 2 win
    Heiskanen scored two power-play goals on five shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Heiskanen opened the scoring in the first period and added a second goal in the middle frame. The defenseman is up to three goals and five assists through nine playoff outings, with five of his eight points having come on the power play. Heiskanen has added 25 shots on net, 17 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating while continuing to see the toughest defensive matchups. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:00 pm
     
  • Remains out
    Hakanpaa (lower body) is not in the lineup for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Avalanche, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Thursday's absence will be Hakanpaa's 22nd in a row. The 32-year-old defenseman should be considered out indefinitely until he is cleared to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:24 pm
