  • Bags apple in overtime loss
    Entwistle posted an assist and three hits in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

    Advice: Entwistle isn't known for his offense, but he ended the campaign with four points over his last seven outings. The 24-year-old forward had 11 points, 66 shots on net, 138 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-29 rating over a career-high 67 appearances. Entwistle enters the offseason as a restricted free agent. He's not of much interest in fantasy as a pure bottom-six forward. Rotowire.com Today, 12:27 am
     
  • Pots goal Thursday
    Anderson scored a goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

    Advice: Anderson snapped a seven-game point drought with his game-tying goal in the third period. The 25-year-old was just alright with 17 points, 57 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-5 rating over 55 appearances with the Blackhawks this season. It was the best year of his career, but it's unlikely he would have seen that much playing time with many other teams. He'll be a restricted free agent this summer. Rotowire.com Today, 12:19 am
     
  • One of each Thursday
    Moore scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Moore collected both points in the second period. The winger had five goals and three assists over nine outings in April, putting together a strong finish to a career-best regular season. Moore produced 31 goals, 26 helpers, 244 shots on net, 91 hits, 58 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 82 appearances. He'll be a key two-way forward in the Kings' first-round playoff series versus the Oilers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:53 pm
     
  • Pair of points in Thursday's win
    Kempe scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Kempe made his contributions late in the contest. He helped out on Viktor Arvidsson's equalizer with 1:21 left in regulation before tallying the game-winner six seconds into overtime. The pair of points gave Kempe 28 goals, 47 helpers, 246 shots on net, 112 hits and a plus-13 rating over 77 appearances this season. The 27-year-old will likely continue to see heavy usage in a top-line role in the Kings' first-round playoff series versus the Oilers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:49 pm
     
  • Snaps slump to end regular season
    Byfield scored a goal on eight shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Both points came on the power play. Byfield entered Thursday on a nine-game point drought. He was able to snap the drought with a second-period tally, and he also set up Viktor Arvidsson's equalizer in the third. Late slump aside, Byfield took a big step forward in 2023-24, finishing with 20 goals, 55 points (14 on the power play), 161 shots on net, 66 hits and a plus-19 rating over 80 appearances. Byfield spent most of the season on the top line, but he may be more sheltered in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:47 pm
     
  • Scores two goals Thursday
    Arvidsson scored twice and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Arvidsson got the Kings on the board in the second period, set up a Trevor Moore tally late in the frame and then scored a power-play marker late in the third to force overtime. The winger has been strong in April with five goals and five assists over nine contests. While he was limited to 18 regular-season appearances, Arvidsson produced 14 points (five on the power play), 59 shots on net and a plus-4 rating while seeing top-six minutes. He's a solid choice for fantasy managers in playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:43 pm
     
  • Dishes pair of helpers
    Strome logged two assists, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

    Advice: Strome ended 2023-24 on a 19-game goal drought, earning just five assists in that span. He was far from consistent this season, but he had a much stronger first half of the campaign. Overall, the 30-year-old forward produced 11 goals, 30 helpers, 131 shots on net, 64 hits, 86 PIM and a minus-20 rating over 79 appearances in a middle-six role.

  • Nets 30th goal in finale
    Coleman tallied a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over San Jose.

    Advice: After missing four games with an upper-body injury, Coleman had an impact in Thursday's season finale. He extended Calgary's lead to 2-0 with a goal in the first period, his 30th of the year, before adding an assist on MacKenzie Weegar's tally in the second. The 32-year-old Coleman was a bright spot on a disappointing Flames team this year, recording his first 30-goal season while posting a career-best 52 points across 77 games.
