      Davidson agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Montreal on Friday.

      Advice: Davidson spent the 2023-24 season playing for AHL Laval on a minor-league-only contract, notching 11 goals and five assists in 38 games for the Rocket. Selected by the Montreal organization in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old center will likely need some more time developing in the minors before getting a chance to make his NHL debut.

    • Extends goal streak in loss
      Lafreniere scored a goal in the final minute of Thursday's 3-2 loss versus Florida in Game 5.

      Advice: Lafreniere gave the Rangers life in the final minute of the third period to cut Florida's lead to one, but it wasn't enough to fuel a late comeback. Lafreniere moved into a three-way tie for the team lead in playoff goals with Chris Kreider and Vincent Trocheck. Lafreniere's eighth marker of the postseason Thursday also extended his goal streak to three games, and he has four tallies in that span. Lafreniere has come to develop a prowess for goal scoring during the postseason, but he hasn't registered an assist in seven consecutive contests. The 22-year-old is up to eight goals and 14 points with a plus-1 rating in 15 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:59 am
       
    • Provides assist in win
      Luostarinen notched an even-strength assist in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Luostarinen had been held off the scoresheet in seven consecutive outings before helping out on Anton Lundell's third-period tally. Luostarinen added two shots, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 16:15 of ice time. The 25-year-old has been struggling when it comes to finding the back of the net -- he has the lowest shooting percentage among Florida's forwards that have at least 20 shots on goal during the postseason. The Finland native has five points (one goal) and a plus-1 rating in 16 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 am
       
    • Back on scoresheet in win
      Lundell scored his third goal of the postseason in Thursday's 3-2 win over New York in Game 5.

      Advice: Lundell gave the Panthers the lead just after the midway point of the third period in Thursday's win. He was held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests prior to Game 5. The 22-year-old also had three shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in 14:05 of ice time. Lundell is back to centering the third line after a recent stretch on the second line -- his ice time has decreased as a result over the last two contests. On the positive side, Lundell is averaging 1:11 more of ice time during the postseason in comparison to the regular season, though Florida's numerous overtime games have boosted everyone's playoff ice totals. The middle-six center is tied for fifth in points on Florida during the playoffs with three goals, eight assists and a plus-6 rating in 16 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:45 am
       
    • Registers two points in win
      Bennett scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Bennett was a major contributor in Thursday's win -- he set up Gustav Forsling in the second period to tie the game before potting an empty-netter, which ended up being the game-winner. It was Bennett's first multi-point performance since April 23 against Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old has five points in as many games in this series, and he's back to centering the second line after a recent stint on the third line. This would suggest that Bennett is close to or at full strength after missing five contests across the first two rounds of the postseason. Bennett is up to five goals and nine points with a plus-2 rating in 11 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:43 am
       
    • Stays hot with goal
      Forsling scored his fourth goal of the postseason in Thursday's 3-2 win against New York in Game 5.

      Advice: Forsling extended his point streak to three games after tying Thursday's contest at one apiece in the first period. The 27-year-old defenseman added two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 23:17 of ice time. Forsling now has at least one point in five of his last six appearances. He's first in scoring among Florida's blueliners during the playoffs -- his steady offensive production in this series has vaulted him past fellow defenseman Brandon Montour (nine points) for the team lead. Forsling is up to four goals, seven assists and a team-high plus-12 rating in 16 postseason contests to this point. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:41 am
       
    • Unlikely for Game 5
      Hakanpaa (lower body) is not expected to play in Friday's Game 5 versus the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa will miss his 31st straight game, though his absence is a bit more noticeable now with Chris Tanev (lower body) questionable for Game 5. Hakanpaa has been considered day-to-day throughout his absence, though he has not regularly skated during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:05 pm
       
    • Bags apple in loss
      Harley notched an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: The helper snapped a seven-game slump for Harley. The 22-year-old defenseman may be starting to feel the wear and tear of a full-length NHL season and a deep playoff run, as he's struggled to provide a strong two-way game in the playoffs. Harley has three helpers, 44 blocked shots, 27 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-8 rating over 17 postseason contests. He was dropped to the second pairing Wednesday after spending a majority of the playoffs alongside Miro Heiskanen on the top pairing. There may be more shuffling ahead for the Stars' defense if Chris Tanev (lower body) can't suit up Friday in Game 5. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:53 pm
       
    • Garners assist in Game 4
      Nugent-Hopkins posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Nugent-Hopkins had been held off the scoresheet over the previous two contests, his first multi-game dry spell since April 12-13. The 31-year-old broke out of the short slump by helping out on Evan Bouchard's first-period equalizer. Nugent-Hopkins is up to four goals, 14 assists, 21 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating as a playmaker in a top-six role. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:26 pm
