    • Game-time decision Saturday
      Hintz (upper body) will be a game-time decision in Game 2 versus Edmonton on Saturday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

      Advice: Hintz partook in the optional morning skate and is nearing a return after missing three games. If he gets the green light to play in Saturday's contest, the talented center will likely replace Wyatt Johnston on the top line with Jason Robertson while returning to the top power-play unit. Hintz has two goals and six points in 11 playoff games, which includes a four-point effort in Game 2 versus Colorado on May 9. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:42 am
       
    • Avoids consecutive losses
      Shesterkin turned aside 26 of 27 shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against Florida in Game 2.

      Advice: It was a goaltending duel at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, and Shesterkin emerged victorious to help the Rangers avoid a two-game deficit in the series. Prior to the win Friday night, Shesterkin allowed at least two goals in eight consecutive appearances, so perhaps this type of performance will serve as a confidence booster for the netminder and his team going forward. The 28-year-old is 9-3 with a 2.22 GAA and .928 save percentage so far during the postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:55 pm
       
    • Could play Saturday
      Hintz (upper body) may be available to face Edmonton in Game 2 on Saturday after coach Pete DeBoer told reporters Hintz was "skating and possible for tomorrow" Friday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

      Advice: Hintz has already missed the team's last three games due to his upper-body issue but appears to be nearing a return to action. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old center had tallied two goals on 13 shots and four assists in his previous 11 postseason contests. Once cleared to play, Hintz figures to slot back into a first-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:03 am
       
    • Starting between the pipes
      Shesterkin is expected to tend the twine at home versus the Panthers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday.

      Advice: Shesterkin put together a solid performance in Game 1 on Wednesday, stopping 24 of 26 shots (.923 save percentage), but he was outdueled by opposing backstop Sergei Bobrovsky, who put together a 24-save shutout performance. In the postseason, the 28-year-old Shesterkin is 4-2 at home to go with a 2.34 GAA and .923 save percentage. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:30 am
       
    • No offensive support in loss
      Shesterkin made 24 saves on 26 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

      Advice: It was a rare night in which Shesterkin wasn't at the top of his game, and he was outdueled in net by Florida's Sergei Bobrovsky. It was Shesterkin's third loss in his last four starts. Wednesday's loss also marks the eighth game in a row that the 28-year-old netminder has allowed at least two goals to get past him. Shesterkin has a record of 8-3 with a 2.37 GAA and a .923 save percentage so far during the postseason. The goaltender will attempt to bounce back and help the Rangers even up the series in Game 2 on Friday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:38 am
       
    • Not playing Thursday
      Hintz (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals versus Edmonton on Thursday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

      Advice: Coach Peter DeBoer is hopeful Hintz will be healthy enough to return for Game 2 on Saturday. Hintz will miss his third straight game after he was injured during Game 4 of the Stars' second-round series versus Colorado. Hintz has two goals and six points in 11 playoff games this year.

    • Slated to start Wednesday
      Shesterkin is expected to guard the home goal against Florida in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Shesterkin has led the Rangers to the Eastern Conference Finals by posting an 8-2 record, 2.40 GAA and .923 save percentage in 10 playoff appearances this year. However, the 28-year-old goaltender has allowed at least three goals in each of his past three starts. Florida has excelled offensively in the postseason, averaging 3.55 goals per contest, so the Panthers will be a challenging adversary for Shesterkin. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:04 am
