    • Gives Rangers life in final minutes
      Panarin scored his fifth goal of the postseason in Saturday's 2-1 season-ending loss to Florida in Game 6.

      Advice: Panarin hadn't scored in eight consecutive contests prior to Saturday before cutting Florida's lead to one in the final minutes of Game 6. It was only his fourth point of the series after he produced 11 points in 10 outings across the first two rounds. The 32-year-old concludes the postseason with 15 points (five goals) and a minus-2 rating in 16 appearances. Panarin has two years remaining on his contract with the Rangers heading into the offseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:57 pm
       
    • Stellar run comes to end
      Shesterkin made 32 saves on 34 shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6.

      Advice: Shesterkin was peppered again Saturday night, it marked the fourth consecutive outing that the netminder faced at least 34 shots on goal. The Rangers were just two wins away from reaching the Stanley Cup Finals, but they were out-shot in 13 of 16 postseason contests. New York also allowed 524 shots on goal in those 16 games, which highlights just how important Shesterkin was to the team's success. The 28-year-old concludes the 2023-24 postseason at 10-6 with a 2.34 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Guarding goal in Game 6
      Shesterkin will protect the road goal versus the Panthers in Saturday's Game 6, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Shesterkin will get the nod with the Rangers facing elimination for the first time in these playoffs. After starting the postseason with nine straight wins, Shesterkin has gone 3-5 with a 2.67 GAA and a .915 save percentage over his last eight contests. He's actually been sharper versus the Panthers with a .928 save percentage, but he hasn't gotten enough goal support. If the Rangers win Saturday, Game 7 is Monday at Madison Square Garden.

    • Tips in lone goal in loss
      Johnston scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

      Advice: Johnston has scored in three straight games, but the Stars have just three tallies over their last two contests. The 21-year-old is up to 10 goals, six assists, 55 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-4 rating through 18 playoff appearances. Johnston's steady offense has made him a reliable option in fantasy in this breakout campaign. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:56 pm
       
    • Facing elimination after loss
      Shesterkin turned aside 34 of 36 shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

      Advice: Shesterkin had another great performance in Thursday's loss, but he wasn't able to steal the win for New York. It's his second consecutive loss after wins in Game 2 and Game 3 of the series. Shesterkin lost consecutive games one other time this postseason against Carolina, and a win followed in that instance. The Rangers will need that trend to continue as they look to stave off elimination in Game 6 on Saturday night in Florida. Overall this postseason, Shesterkin has a record of 10-5 with a 2.36 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:51 am
       
    • Slated to start in Game 5

      Advice: Shesterkin has been outstanding versus the Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals, turning aside 120 of 130 shots (.923 save percentage). Shesterkin has been especially strong at home against Florida, allowing only three goals on 53 shots in the opening pair of games. He is 10-4 overall, with a 2.37 GAA in 14 playoff appearances in 2024. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:38 am
       
    • Helps out on both goals in loss
      Benn registered two assists and two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: This was Benn's third straight multi-point effort. He's racked up two goals and six assists during a five-game point streak. The 34-year-old forward is up to four goals, 11 assists, 35 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-4 rating through 17 playoff contests, playing well in a middle-six role in the Stars' balanced offense.

    • Scores early in loss
      Johnston scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: Johnston scored for the second game in a row, but instead of being part of a comeback, it was the opening goal in a loss. The center has two goals and two assists over his last three contests, giving him 15 points, 53 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-3 rating through 17 playoff outings. Johnston has shuffled around the lineup at times this postseason, but he's often been at or near the top of the ice time list among Stars forwards. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:44 pm
       
    • Big impact in Game 4 win
      Nurse logged an assist, 12 hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Nurse has been the target of some ire for his poor play in the playoffs, and he got off to an ugly start in this game. He was on the ice for both of the Stars' first-period tallies, including one that banked into the net off his body. Nurse was able to rebound, picking up a helper on a Ryan McLeod goal, and he followed up with a huge physical performance for the rest of the game. Nurse has just three assists with an ugly minus-12 rating through 16 playoff contests, but he's added 35 hits, 37 blocked shots and 31 shots on net while playing in a top-four role. That non-scoring production still gives him a path to relevance in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 pm
