    • Responds well to scratch
      McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: McLeod was scratched for Game 3 after enduring a 19-game point drought that included all of the playoffs. The 24-year-old's exclusion from the lineup was a one-game thing, and he made good on an opportunity to return to action by scoring in the first period to begin the Oilers' comeback. McLeod had 30 points in 81 regular-season outings in a middle-six role. His main contributions come from speed and penalty killing, so he shouldn't be expected to generate steady offense moving forward. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:16 pm
       
    • Inks two-way deal
      Suzuki signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

      Advice: Suzuki was eligible to become a restricted free agent this summer after completing his entry-level contract. He had 14 goals and 30 points in 51 regular-season contests with AHL Springfield in 2023-24. The 23-year-old was selected with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, but he hasn't made his NHL debut yet. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:03 am
       
    • Bends twine in Game 4
      Bennett scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 4.

      Advice: Since returning from injury, Bennett has notched three goals and two assists, including three power-play points, in his last eight contests. The 27-year-old center has been boom or bust on the shot front over that stretch, having failed to garner a single shot in three of those eight outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:23 am
       
    • Extends point streak
      Verhaeghe scored his ninth goal of the postseason in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win versus New York in Game 4.

      Advice: Verhaeghe extended his point streak to five games after potting a goal on the power play in Tuesday's win. The 28-year-old also fired four shots on net in 20:04 of ice time. Verhaeghe is up to six points in this series after notching just two points in Florida's second-round series versus Boston. In 15 postseason appearances to this point, Verhaeghe leads the team in goals with nine and is tied for second on the team in points with 17. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:34 pm
       
    • Sets up game-winner
      Barkov registered two power-play assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 4.

      Advice: After being held off the scoresheet in four consecutive contests prior to Game 3, Barkov now has picked up multiple points in each of his last two games. He had a secondary assist on Carter Verhaeghe's power-play tally in the second period before setting up Sam Reinhart for the game-winning goal in overtime. Barkov also had four shots, three hits and an even plus-minus rating in 22:04 of ice time Tuesday night. The 28-year-old center is tied for second on the team in points so far during the postseason with six goals and 11 assists in 15 contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:11 pm
       
    • Scores in return
      Henrique scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

      Advice: Henrique missed seven games with an ankle injury and returned to a third-line role, playing 13:41 in this contest. He scored a goal late in the second period to tie the game at 3-3, but the Oilers' offense stopped there. Henrique has three points, five shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff appearances. He's played in a variety of spots in the Oilers' lineup -- if the team continues to struggle, he may be moved from third-line center to a top-six spot on the wing.

    • Contributes assist in win
      Stankoven logged an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Stankoven set up a Wyatt Johnston tally at 9:08 of the second period, which put the Stars ahead 3-2. The helper ended Stankoven's three-game dry spell. The 21-year-old has stepped into a middle-six role and handled himself well, picking up seven points, 27 shots on net, 20 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 16 playoff outings. He's got a bright future, but for now Stankoven is filling a supporting role. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:04 pm
       
    • Provides two helpers in win
      Seguin registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 5.

      Advice: Seguin helped out on Jason Robertson's first and third goals of the game. With Roope Hintz (upper body) back in the fold, head coach Pete DeBoer had him centering Robertson and Seguin on a new-look first line -- typically, it's been Joe Pavelski or Wyatt Johnston in that spot instead of Seguin. Through 16 playoff contests, Seguin has been strong with five goals, seven helpers, 51 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-10 rating. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:00 pm
       
    • Returns with two helpers
      Hintz logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Hintz set up the first two goals of Jason Robertson's hat trick. This was Hintz's return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he looked much like his usual self in 17:48 of ice time in a top-line role. The center is up to two goals, six helpers, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff appearances. Hintz should see significant ice time for the Stars moving forward, so he'll be a solid option in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:58 pm
