    • Nets power-play goal
      Johnston scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

      Advice: Johnston has three goals over the last two games to help the Stars bounce back from a 2-0 series deficit. His second-period tally Monday tied the game at 2-2. The 20-year-old has four points, 18 shots on net, four hits and a minus-1 rating through four playoff appearances. He's found instant success since a promotion to the top line, so he'll likely remain there for Wednesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 pm
       
    • Gets starting nod for Tuesday
      Varlamov will be between the road pipes for Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

      Advice: As expected, Varlamov gets the nod after having put together a strong showing in Game 4. He stopped 42 of 44 shots on net in that must-win contest. At this point, the 36-year-old Varlamov figures to continue trying to stave off elimination for the Islanders for as long as he can. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:49 am
       
    • Two power-play points in win
      Panarin scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

      Advice: Both of Panarin's points came on the power play. The winger was relatively quiet in the first round, logging three points and 11 shots on net during the four-game sweep. Panarin had 120 points, including 44 on the power play, in a career year over 82 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:10 pm
       
    • Completes sweep of Capitals
      Shesterkin stopped 23 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

      Advice: Shesterkin had no problem guiding the Rangers to a first-round sweep over the Capitals, allowing just seven goals during the series. He's won six straight games dating back to the regular season. Shesterkin will now get a little time to recharge as the Rangers await their second-round opponent, which will be either the Hurricanes or the Islanders. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:03 pm
       
    • Tending twine Sunday
      Shesterkin will get the starting nod for Game 4 in Washington on Sunday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Shesterkin has led the Rangers to a dominant 3-0 series lead as they look for a sweep Sunday. He's stopped 70 of 75 shots, including a 28-save win in Game 3. Shesterkin is 7-2-0 with a terrific 2.00 GAA and .921 save percentage in nine games this month. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:36 pm
       
    • Busy in Game 4 win
      Varlamov stopped 42 shots Saturday in a 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Islanders' first-round series.

      Advice: The 36-year-old netminder wouldn't let the Isles get swept, making 17 saves in the first OT period alone to give Mathew Barzal a chance to pot the winner. Varlamov has started three of New York's four playoff games so far, posting a stellar 2.08 GAA and .930 save percentage despite a 1-2 record, and he should get the nod again Tuesday for Game 5 as the series shifts back to Carolina.

    • Scores twice in overtime win
      Johnston scored two goals on eight shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

      Advice: Johnston opened the scoring in the first period with a backhand tally, then went top shelf at 16:23 of overtime to finish off the Stars' first win of the first-round series. The 20-year-old led the Stars' onslaught with eight shots, double the amount he put up in the first two games of the series. He was moved to the top line Saturday, and given the result, he may stay there moving forward. Johnston has three points, 12 shots, four hits and three blocked shots in the postseason.

    • Tallies in Saturday's win
      Pastrnak scored a goal on four shots, levied three hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.

      Advice: Pastrnak has two goals and two assists through four outings in the first round. His tally Saturday was a back-breaker for Toronto, as it came with 42 seconds left in the second period to put Boston up 3-0. Pastrnak continues to see his usual top-six minutes with ample power-play time as a leader on offense for the Bruins. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Collects third win of series
      Swayman stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.

      Advice: Swayman has all three of the Bruins' wins so far in the playoffs, having allowed just four goals on 91 shots in his three starts. He started consecutive contests for the first time since February 19-21, and it looks like he's now the Bruins' preferred starter. The 25-year-old will likely be between the pipes again for Tuesday's Game 5 with a chance to send Toronto packing. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:13 pm
