    • Makes history in finale
      Kucherov scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Maple leafs.

      Advice: His second-period helper on a Brayden Point tally put Kucherov in the history books as the fifth player in NHL history to accumulate 100 assists in a season -- rarified air that was previously only reached by Wayne Gretzky (a mind-boggling 11 times), Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr (once each) before both Kucherov and Connor McDavid did it in 2023-24. The 30-year-old Lightning superstar claimed his second scoring title with a career-high 144 points through 81 games, while his 44 goals were also a personal best. Kucherov will lead the Lightning into the playoffs beginning Sunday against the Panthers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am
       
    • Gives up four goals in loss
      Pickard allowed four goals on 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Coyotes. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Pickard has lost four of his last six outings, giving up 19 goals in that span. The 32-year-old dropped to 12-7-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 22 appearances this season. The Oilers are locked in to the No. 2 spot in the Pacific Division, so they have no motivation to play starter Stuart Skinner versus the Avalanche on Thursday in the regular-season finale, but the team has not announced its goaltending plan for that contest yet.

    • Sets tone with early goal
      O'Brien scored a goal on three shots and added four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

      Advice: O'Brien opened the scoring at 2:18 of the first period in a game the Coyotes never fell behind in. The fourth-liner had three points over eight contests in April, finishing 2023-24 with career-best numbers across the board. He had 14 points, 72 shots on net, 153 PIM and 228 hits over 75 appearances. He is a pending unrestricted free agent, though O'Brien's peak is likely a high-energy fourth-liner.

    • Strong in shootout loss
      Binnington stopped 36 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Stars.

      Advice: Binnington put in a good effort for his last game of the season, but he still ended up with his third defeat in his last four outings. The 30-year-old ends 2023-24 at 28-21-5 with three shutouts, a 2.84 GAA and a .913 save percentage over 57 appearances. Those are his best numbers in the last three years, but they're not enough for him to be considered among the NHL's top-tier goalies. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 pm
       
    • Slated to face Coyotes
      Pickard is expected to start on the road against Arizona on Wednesday, per Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network.

      Advice: Pickard will get a chance to rebound after stopping 25 of 28 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss to the Coyotes in his last start Friday. He has a 12-6-1 record, 2.41 GAA and .912 save percentage in 21 contests this season. Edmonton is resting defensemen Darnell Nurse and Cody Ceci against Arizona, which might make Pickard's task somewhat tougher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 pm
       
    • Draws into last two games
      Rempe was in the lineup for the last two games of the regular season and finished the 2023-24 campaign with one goal, one assist, 50 hits and 71 PIM in 17 appearances.

      Advice: Rempe will be an option on the fourth line for the Rangers in the postseason, as coach Peter Laviolette will be deciding between Rempe's physicality and Jonny Brodzinski's superior skill and speed for the final forward spot when the team's healthy up front. Rempe quickly became a fan favorite at MSG by throwing around his 6-foot-7, 241-pound frame with reckless abandon, and his physical style threw numerous opponents off their game despite Rempe averaging just 5:38 TOI.

    • Falls to former team
      Markstrom allowed four goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.

      Advice: The Flames' offense went cold against a tough opponent, leaving Markstrom with his fourth straight loss. The 34-year-old goalie dropped to 23-23-2 with a 2.78 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 49 contests this season. The Flames host the Sharks on Thursday to finish the campaign, but the team hasn't announced if Markstrom or Dustin Wolf will start the finale. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:15 pm
       
    • Scores in win
      Joshua scored a goal on two shots, doled out seven hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

      Advice: Joshua has five goals and a helper over nine games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The winger is cruising and bruising in a middle-six role this season. He's up to 18 tallies, 32 points, 82 shots on net, 60 PIM, 243 hits and a plus-19 rating through 62 outings overall. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:59 pm
       
    • Snags assist Tuesday
      Eichel recorded an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

      Advice: Eichel has kept his offense hot in April with five goals and five helpers over his last seven contests. The 27-year-old center helped out on a Nicolas Roy empty-netter in this game. Eichel is up to 67 points, surpassing his total from last season, with 272 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 62 appearances in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:21 pm
