  • Set to miss Game 1
    Kiviranta (lower body) won't play Tuesday in Game 1 versus Dallas, according to Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now.

    Advice: Kiviranta will miss his third straight contest. He wore a non-contact jersey during Colorado's morning skate before the start of the second round. He picked up one assist, nine hits and three shots on goal in three outings versus Winnipeg during the opening round of the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 12:50 pm
     
  • Signs two-year extension
    Reichel signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

    Advice: Reichel hasn't really lived up to expectations since being selected 17th overall in the 2020 Entry Draft -- he logged a career-high 65 games at the NHL level in 2023-24, but the 21-year-old forward managed just five goals and 16 points while posting an ugly minus-29 rating over that span. Reichel will likely be a full-time NHLer in 2024-25, but if he doesn't get his game together at the top level soon, he may not last with the Blackhawks beyond this two-year extension.

  • Not playing Tuesday
    Marchment (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday in Game 1 against Colorado, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    Advice: Marchment, who has resumed skating, will miss his sixth consecutive contest. He contributed one goal, three shots on net and 11 hits in two outings versus Vegas during the first round of the postseason. Marchment could be in the mix for a top-six spot in the lineup once he receives clearance to return to action. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 am
     
  • Assist streak at three games
    Van Riemsdyk registered an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Van Riemsdyk has a helper in three straight contests, and he's up to four points over six playoff outings. The 35-year-old winger's continued success on offense can only help him stick in the lineup as a bottom-six forward with power-play skills. In addition to his offense, he's picked up 11 hits, 10 sohts on net and a plus-3 rating this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
     
  • Unavailable for Game 1
    Heinen (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Game 1 versus Florida on Monday, according to Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

    Advice: Heinen, who is considered day-to-day, will miss his third straight contest. He has one assist, five shots on goal and nine hits in five outings this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:52 am
     
  • Adds assist in Game 1 loss
    Martinook notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: The helper was Martinook's second point in six playoff outings. Martinook's filling a middle-six role as a checking winger, though that's an assignment that won't get him on the scoresheet regularly. He's added 12 shots on net and 10 hits during the postseason.

  • Out for Game 7
    Marchment (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's Game 7 against Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: This will be the fifth consecutive game Marchment has missed since suffering an injury in Game 2. Evgenii Dadonov should remain in a top-six role while Marchment is sidelined. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:10 am
     
  • Adds helper in Game 7
    Van Riemsdyk logged an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

    Advice: Van Riemsdyk set up Hampus Lindholm's game-tying tally at 10:22 of the third period. The helper was van Riemsdyk's third point in five appearances in the first round. The winger added eight shots on net, seven hits and a plus-2 rating. He continues to play on the third line and second power-play unit, and it appears his offense has stabilized following a brutal drought at the end of the regular season.

  • Not playing Saturday
    Heinen (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's Game 7 versus the Maple Leafs, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

    Advice: Heinen will miss his second straight game with the injury, though he was labeled a game-time decision earlier Saturday by head coach Jim Montgomery. If Heinen is to play again this postseason, the Bruins will need to win Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:48 pm
