    • Playing Wednesday
      Toews (illness) will be in action versus Dallas for Game 5 on Wednesday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Toews' return to the lineup should bolster the Avs' offensive options considering he has generated six points through eight postseason contests. Caleb Jones figures to be dropped from the lineup due to Toews' return. In addition to pairing with Cale Makar, the 30-year-old Toews will probably link up with the No. 2 power-play unit.

    • Earns assist on game-winner
      Kane produced an assist, four hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Kane helped out on Evan Bouchard's game-winning goal in the final minute of the third period. This was Kane's second straight contest with a helper. The winger is up to five points, 22 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating over nine playoff appearances in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:23 pm
       
    • Two-point effort Tuesday
      Bouchard scored a goal on four shots, added a power-play assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Bouchard's tally with 39 seconds left in the third period was the game-winning goal. The defenseman has scored in three straight contests in an extremely close second-round series. Bouchard has four goals, 11 helpers, seven power-play points, 34 shots on net, 16 blocks and a plus-8 rating over nine playoff appearances in a top-pairing role.

    • Traveling with team
      Toews (illness) will make the trip to Dallas ahead of Wednesday's must-win Game 5 versus the Stars, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

      Advice: Toews missed Monday's Game 4 due to an illness, but he's reportedly feeling better Tuesday, making it seem likely he'll return for Wednesday's must-win contest. The 30-year-old defender has collected one goal and six points through eight games this postseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:19 am
       
    • Stellar in Game 4
      Johnston scored two goals on eight shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Johnston opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal on a rebound in the first period. He added a power-play marker in the second and set up Sam Steel's empty-netter in the third. Johnston had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. That hasn't stopped him from looking like a standout for the Stars with seven goals, four assists, 39 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 11 playoff appearances. If Roope Hintz (upper body) misses time, Johnston could be a natural fit to take his spot on the top line. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:04 am
       
    • Out Monday
      Toews (illness) will not be available for Game 4 against the Stars on Monday, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

      Advice: Toews was available at morning skate but ended up being a late scratch for Monday's game. The 30-year-old blueliner has a goal and six points through eight postseason games after posting 50 points during the regular season. Caleb Jones is expected to dress Monday. Toews' status for Wednesday's Game 5 is currently unknown. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:31 pm
       
    • Back in assistance program
      Nichushkin was placed in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Monday and will be suspended for six months.

      Advice: Nichushkin was in the program during the regular season, missing 22 games as a result. Now, he's in Stage 3 of the program and will need to apply for reinstatement after a six-month suspension. He scored 28 goals and 53 points through 54 games this season. Nichushkin also racked up nine goals and 10 points through eight playoff games. With him out, Zach Parise could see a bump in playing time. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:04 pm
       
    • Helps out on power play
      Kane notched a power-play assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Kane hadn't posted a power-play point since March 23. The winger, who missed time late in the regular season due to a sports hernia, has four points, 21 shots on net, 30 hits and 15 PIM over eight playoff contests. Kane has primarily played in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, so his scoring contributions are likely to remain limited to a supporting level.

    • Produces pair of points
      Bouchard scored a goal on six shots and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Bouchard has a six-game point streak going, and he's earned four points over three outings in the second round. The defenseman was at the center of the Oilers' comeback push Sunday, but the effort fell short. He has three goals, 10 assists, 30 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over eight playoff appearances while playing in a top-pairing role with ample power-play time.
