  • Signs two-way deal
    Legare signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Tuesday.

    Advice: Legare spent the whole season in the AHL in 2023-24, logging eight goals and four assists in 54 games played. Look for the 23-year-old to once again spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:20 am
     
  • Registers helper
    Frederic recorded an assist, six hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Frederic helped out on Brandon Carlo's goal late in the second period. The 26-year-old Frederic is up to four points through eight playoff contests, solid work for a player in a third-line role with virtually no power-play time. He's added 34 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-7 rating. Frederic can offer solid play as a checking forward, but consistent offense is likely too much to ask of him. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Scores in Game 1
    Brazeau scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Brazeau has points in back-to-back games while adding 17 hits, seven shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 26-year-old winger has filled in on the third line since Danton Heinen (undisclosed) exited the lineup. Brazeau provides physicality and a little depth scoring, making him an intriguing budget option for certain DFS formats. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:03 pm
     
  • Nets equalizer Monday
    Geekie scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Sergei Bobrovsky poked the puck away on an initial attempt, but Geekie was able to rip home the game-tying goal just 1:07 after Matthew Tkachuk's opening tally. The goal was Geekie's second in his last three games, and the 25-year-old forward has four points through eight playoff contests. He's added 12 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-3 rating while skating in a top-six role during the postseason. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:01 pm
     
  • Supplies assist
    Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Smith set up Radek Faksa's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. After being a scratch for the first two contests of the playoffs, Smith contributed two helpers, 10 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating over the last five games of the first round. The 34-year-old winger should continue to play in a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:33 pm
     
  • Hands out helper
    Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:57 pm
     
  • Recalled Sunday
    Lockwood, Mackie Samoskevich, Justin Sourdif, Rasmus Asplund, Matt Kiersted, Michael Benning and Magnus Hellberg were recalled from AHL Charlotte on Sunday, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: The Panthers will bring up a full complement of depth options to serve as Black Aces prior to their second-round series against Boston. Lockwood played in 26 games with Florida this year, tallying an assist. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:57 am
     
  • Supplies assist Saturday
    Brazeau notched an assist, three shots on goal and seven hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

    Advice: Brazeau picked up his first playoff point with a helper on Hampus Lindholm's third-period tally. The 26-year-old Brazeau has held down a bottom-six role over the last three contests, adding 16 hits and four shots on net. He could stay in the lineup once Danton Heinen (undisclosed) is available to play again. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:09 pm
     
  • Placed on unconditional waivers
    Pashin was put on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract Friday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Advice: Pashin inked a three-year, entry-level contract two years ago with the Hurricanes and played 47 AHL games in 2022-23 with Chicago, scoring four goals and adding six assists. He returned to the KHL this past season, finding the back of the net on 10 occasions while chipping in with nine assists in 60 appearances with Moscow Spartak. Look for Pashin to continue his career in the KHL next season. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:08 am
