    • Traveling with team
      Matthews (illness) will join the Maple Leafs when they travel to Boston for Game 5 on Tuesday but remains questionable after head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "We're hopeful he's available and feeling good and back to himself," per ESPN's Kristen Shilton.

      Advice: Matthews has scored just one goal in his last six contests despite having racked up 34 shots on net and adding two assists over that stretch. Without the world-class center at practice Tuesday, Toronto shifted Max Domi to center in addition to slotting him into Matthews' spot on the No. 1 power-play unit. If Matthews can get even close to 100 percent, he should reclaim both those roles heading into Tuesday's must-win game for Toronto. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:36 am
       
    • Not practicing Monday
      Matthews (illness), who was pulled from Game 4 against the Bruins on Saturday, was not in attendance for Monday's practice session, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Matthews has produced points in just one of his last six appearances, though he racked up one goal and two helpers in that contest. The 26-year-old center's absence shouldn't come as a significant surprise considering he is trying to recover from a seemingly long-term illness that he tried to push through in Game 4. Without Matthews in the lineup, John Tavares could be given the first-line center role while Max Domi would likely move up to the No. 1 power-play unit. At this point, Matthews should be considered questionable ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:05 am
       
    • Falters late in Game 4
      Saros stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: The Canucks again failed to direct much traffic at Saros, but he took a loss for the third time in four games in the first round. The 29-year-old couldn't maintain a 3-1 lead late in the third period as Brock Boeser scored twice in the final three minutes to force overtime, where Elias Lindholm completed Vancouver's comeback. Saros has allowed 10 goals on 70 shots through four games in this series, and he'll now be in must-win mode beginning with Tuesday's Game 5 in Vancouver. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:20 pm
       
    • Saves Game 4 with hat trick
      Boeser scored three times on eight shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Boeser opened the scoring just 2:55 into the game, but the Canucks would eventually fall behind 3-1. He tallied twice more in the final three minutes of the third period to force overtime, where Elias Lindholm won it for Vancouver to give the team a 3-1 series lead. Boeser has racked up four goals, one assist, 11 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over four playoff contests while playing in his familiar top-six role. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:00 pm
       
    • Guarding cage Sunday
      Saros will start Game 4 at home against the Canucks on Sunday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

      Advice: Saros hasn't had to do much work in this series but the Predators find themselves in a 2-1 hole. He's stopped 44 of 50 shots in three games and hasn't made more than 17 saves in any contest. Saros is just 4-4-1 with an .899 save percentage since the start of April.

    • Three helpers in Saturday's win
      Kucherov recorded three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

      Advice: Two of the helpers came in the third period as the Lightning put the game away. Kucherov is still looking for his first goal of the postseason, but he's found the scoresheet in all four contests so far while collecting six assists. He may need to come up big again in Game 5 on Monday if Tampa Bay is going to avoid elimination again. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:39 am
       
    • Pulled from game due to illness
      Matthews was pulled from Saturday's Game 4 due to the illness he's been dealing with in recent days, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Matthews didn't play in the third period, and head coach Sheldon Keefe explained that the Maple Leafs' doctors pulled the world-class center from the contest. The 26-year-old Matthews will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's must-win Game 5 in Boston. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Exits Game 4
      Matthews (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's Game 4 versus the Bruins.

      Advice: Matthews reportedly was ill during Game 3 on Wednesday, per Mark Masters of TSN, but it's unclear if his exit from Game 4 is related. Matthews should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's Game 5, pending an update from the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:24 pm
       
    • Takes loss despite light workload
      Saros permitted two goals on 12 shots in the 2-1 loss to the Canucks on Friday in Game 3.

      Advice: Nashville put up 30 shots to dominate possession in the attacking zone, but Saros ended up with the loss after the Canucks converted on two of three power-play opportunities. Saros didn't carry over any momentum from his 17-save performance in Nashville's 4-1 victory over Vancouver in Game 2 on Tuesday. Now faced with a 2-1 series deficit, Saros will look to shake off the most recent loss in time for a pivotal Game 4 matchup on Sunday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:01 am
