  • Making fourth straight start
    Silovs was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Kevin Woodley of NHL.com, putting him on track to guard the home crease versus Edmonton in Game 1 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Silovs was excellent after being thrust into action in the first round versus Nashville due to injuries to Thatcher Demko (knee) and Casey DeSmith, who is now healthy but was dealing with a lower-body injury. Silovs went 2-1-0 while posting an impressive 1.70 GAA and .938 save percentage through three appearances against the Predators. The Connor McDavid-led Oilers offense racked up 22 goals through five games in the first round versus Winnipeg, so Silovs will likely be tested early and often Wednesday.

  • Slated to start
    Swayman was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald, putting him on track to guard the road goal in Wednesday's Game 2 versus Florida.

    Advice: Swayman was exceptional in Monday's Game 1, turning aside 38 of 39 shots en route to a convincing 5-1 win. As long as the 25-year-old netminder continues to play at this level, it seems unlikely coach Jim Montgomery will go back to the rotation between Swayman and Linus Ullmark he utilized to open the Bruins' first-round series versus Toronto.

  • In goal for Game 2
    Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease during Wednesday's Game 2 versus Boston, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Bobrovsky struggled in Monday's Game 1 against the Bruins, surrendering four goals on only 28 shots en route to a 5-1 defeat. The 35-year-old netminder will attempt to bounce back and help the Panthers even up the series at one game apiece before heading to Beantown for Game 3 on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:25 am
     
  • Falls in OT
    Oettinger allowed four goals on 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 Game 1 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

    Advice: Oettinger and the Stars jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. However, Colorado would tie the game with a pair of power-play markers in the second and a Nathan MacKinnon goal 39 seconds into the third before Miles Wood beat Oettinger for the game-winner in overtime. It's the first time that Oettinger's allowed more than two goals in a game since the first game of the opening round against Vegas. The 25-year-old netminder now sports a .915 save percentage with a 2.15 GAA through eight postseason contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:14 am
     
  • Rebounds after rough first period
    Georgiev stopped 19 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 Game 1 overtime win over the Stars.

    Advice: The Stars jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, scoring three times within 10 minutes in the frame. However, Georgiev held Dallas scoreless on the team's final 13 shots over the final two periods and overtime as the Avs rallied for a 4-3 overtime victory. It's the fifth straight win for Georgiev after he dropped the first game of Colorado's opening-round series versus Winnipeg. The 28-year-old netminder sports an .889 save percentage with a 2.94 GAA in the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 7:10 am
     
  • Back-to-back losses
    Andersen made 35 saves on 39 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

    Advice: Andersen has allowed four goals in consecutive contests for the first time all season. He was limited to just 16 regular-season appearances due to injury, so perhaps shifting from that to making six consecutive starts has fatigued the 34-year-old netminder. Overall this postseason, Andersen is 4-3 with a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage through seven outings. Andersen's next chance to rebound would be in Game 3 on Thursday against New York.

  • Solid in Game 2 win
    Shesterkin turned aside 54 of 57 shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime win over Carolina in Game 2.

    Advice: Shesterkin extended his undefeated streak in the playoffs to six games, even with Carolina peppering him in this one. It's the second contest in a row Shesterkin has let in at least three goals, but the Rangers have given him enough offensive support to keep his streak going. Overall this postseason, Shesterkin is 6-0 with a 2.01 GAA and a .929 save percentage through six outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
     
  • Set to start Tuesday
    Shesterkin is expected to start at home against Carolina in Game 2 on Tuesday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

    Advice: Shesterkin stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 4-3 victory over the Hurricanes in Game 1 on Sunday. He's opened the playoffs with five straight victories while allowing just 10 goals on 126 shots (.921 save percentage). However, the Hurricanes ranked eighth offensively in the regular season with 3.38 goals per contest, so they're likely to continue to be a challenging adversary for Shesterkin.

  • Gets starting nod
    Andersen will defend the road goal during Game 2 versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan reports.

    Advice: Andersen struggled a bit against New York's potent offensive attack in Sunday's Game 1, surrendering four goals on just 23 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat. The Rangers will undoubtedly continue to be a challenging opponent for Andersen, but Sunday was just the second time the 34-year-old netminder has allowed four or more goals in a contest through 22 regular-season and playoff appearances combined in 2023-24, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him fare better in Game 2.
