    • 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 with Toews back in action. In addition to pairing with Cale Makar, the 30-year-old Toews figures to link up with the No. 2 power-play unit.

    • Undergoes finger surgery
      Letang had surgery to repair a fractured finger and will need eight weeks to recover, the team announced Wednesday.

      Advice: Letang's recovery timeline shouldn't impact his availability for the start of training camp in the fall. Despite the injury concern, the veteran blueliner played a full 82-game season this past year, the first time he has done that since 2010-11. While the Montreal native still managed to rack up 51 points this season, his productivity with the man advantage dropped significantly, as he managed just five power-play points compared to 21 the campaign before.

    • Undergoes wrist surgery
      Ludvig underwent wrist surgery April 24, the team announced Wednesday. He's expected to need four-to-six months to recover.

      Advice: Ludvig had three goals, five points, 47 PIM, 72 hits and 33 blocks in 33 contests with Pittsburgh during the 2023-24 campaign. If he ends up requiring the longer end of that timetable, then Ludvig would miss the start of 2024-25. If healthy, Ludvig might open the season as part of the Penguins' third pairing.

    • Sidelined again Wednesday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) will remain on the shelf for Game 5 against the Avalanche on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa hasn't played since March 16 versus the Kings, a stretch of 24 games on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. At this point, until he shows up at practice, Hakanpaa should probably be considered out indefinitely. Even if cleared to play, the defenseman is far from a lock for a spot in the lineup anyway.

    • Suspension served
      Soucy will be eligible to face Edmonton in Game 5 on Thursday after serving his one-game suspension.

      Advice: Soucy was forced to watch from the press box after getting handed a one-game suspension for cross-checking Oilers' Connor McDavid in the face in Game 3. Through nine postseason contests, the 29-year-old defenseman has generated four assists, 27 hits and nine blocks, though he has yet to register a shot on goal. Rotowire.com Today, 6:13 am
       
    • Garners assist
      Zadorov logged an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: Zadorov continues to make a mark in this second-round series -- he has five points over four contests, in addition to a cross-checking penalty that earned him a fine at the end of Game 3. The defenseman is up to eight points, 19 shots on net, 35 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 playoff appearances. The 29-year-old saw 22:01 of ice time Tuesday, his second-highest total in the postseason as he continues to earn more trust from head coach Rick Tocchet. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 pm
       
    • Gathers helper in loss
      Hughes recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: Hughes has four assists over his last three games, though this one was his first at even strength in that span. The defenseman is up to nine helpers, 14 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 playoff appearances. Hughes is still providing solid offense and steady defense from a top-pairing role, so the lack of goals shouldn't be a concern for fantasy managers or Canucks fans.

    • Contributes assist in win
      Ekholm recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Ekholm has three goals and two assists over four contests in the second round after being limited to one helper in the Oilers' 4-1 series win over the Kings in the first round. The defenseman set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second-period tally Tuesday. Ekholm is up to six points, 20 shots on net, 12 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over nine playoff appearances in a top-pairing role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:26 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. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:10 pm
