    • Ready to rock
      Per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, Ekblad (undisclosed) will be ready to play in Game 1 versus Tampa Bay on Sunday according to coach Paul Maurice.

      Advice: Ekblad sat out Tuesday's final game of the regular season. He struggled this season after returning from offseason shoulder surgery, scoring only four times and adding 14 helpers in 51 appearances. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
       
    • Two goals to wrap up campaign
      Nichushkin scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.

      Advice: Nichushkin opened the scoring 1:19 into the first period, one-timing an Artturi Lehkonen feed in the slot, before adding a second tally on a power play later in the frame. The 29-year-old Nichushkin had just one assist in his previous five contests since returning from a four-game absence with a lower-body injury. He'll finish the regular season with 28 goals and 53 points, both new career highs, across 54 games. Nichushkin will likely open the playoffs on the second line with Lehkonen and Casey Mittelstadt, though he could see time on the top unit if Jonathan Drouin (undisclosed) is forced to miss any time.

    • Pockets helper
      Carlsson posted an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

      Advice: Carlsson had five points over seven outings in April to salvage a positive finish to an eventful rookie year. He was strong with 29 points, 109 shots on net and a minus-11 rating, but between workload management and injuries, he ended up playing just 55 games. Carlsson figures to be the Ducks' top-line center in 2024-25, though the team around him will need to be stronger to help him build up his production. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 pm
       
    • Gets Thursday's game off
      Draisaitl (rest) will be a healthy scratch Thursday against Colorado, according to Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels.

      Advice: Draisaitl will finish the 2023-24 regular season with 41 goals and 106 points in 81 contests. He's just resting before the playoffs, so Draisaitl should resume his normal duties in a top-six capacity and as part of Edmonton's first power-play unit in Game 1 of the postseason.

    • Sitting Thursday
      Hellebuyck (rest) will sit out Thursday's regular-season finale at home against Vancouver, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.

      Advice: Hellebuyck was solid in his last start, stopping 20 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Seattle. The 30-year-old had a spectacular regular season, recording a .921 save percentage and a 37-19-4 record in 60 appearances. He can be penciled in as the starter for Game 1 of Winnipeg's first-round series versus Colorado. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:15 am
       
    • Played through injuries
      Letang told reporters he was "dealing with some stuff" during the final weeks of the season, per Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

      Advice: Letang was still able to play but did have a handful of maintenance days along the way. Despite being banged up, the veteran blueliner still managed 10 points in his last 11 contests, reaching the 50-point threshold for the seventh time in his NHL career. With Erik Karlsson on the roster, Letang was a relative non-factor with the man advantage this year, earning just five power-play points, something fantasy players will have to factor into their decisions heading into 2024-25.

    • Tallies lone goal in shootout loss
      Thomas scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Stars.

      Advice: Thomas had a great April with three goals and nine assists over eight contests. That puts a bow on a career year for the Blues' top-line center -- he finished with 26 goals, 86 points, 170 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 82 outings. Thomas won't ever be a shoot-first player, but his growth in that regard should have him in consideration as a middle-round pick in fantasy drafts in the fall.

    • Manages helper in win
      Pettersson produced an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

      Advice: Pettersson has a goal and four helpers over his last six contests. The 25-year-old has struggled to generate explosive offense lately, but he can still be steady in a top-six role. For the season, he's at 34 goals, 55 assists, 207 shots on net, 125 hits, 68 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating through 81 outings overall. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:04 pm
       
    • Two points vs. Leafs
      Bennett notched a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Toronto.

      Advice: Bennett set up Carter Verhaeghe's marker 28 seconds into the second period before adding a goal later in the frame, deflecting a Gustav Forsling shot past Joseph Woll to tie the score at 2-2. The 27-year-old Bennett has four goals and seven points in his last eight contests. He'll wrap up the regular season with 20 goals and 41 points across 69 games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:48 pm
