    • Erupts for four helpers
      Bouchard logged four assists (two on the power play), three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.

      Advice: Bouchard helped out on both of the Oilers' first-period tallies and added two more assists in the third when their power play took over. The defenseman had a career year of 18 goals and 64 assists in 81 appearances, which included 35 power-play points. Bouchard's role on the first power-play unit gives him a high ceiling on offense.

    • Two power-play helpers in win
      Hanifin logged two power-play assists, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: Hanifin set up goals by Mark Stone and Tomas Hertl in the first period. Since his trade from the Flames, Hanifin has become the Golden Knights' top blueliner. He had 12 points over 19 regular-season outings with Vegas and should see big minutes in all situations during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
       
    • Pots goal Monday
      McNabb scored a goal, added two hits and blocked eight shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: McNabb had a career year with 26 points in 82 regular-season outings. He kept it rolling in the playoff opener, netting the game-winning goal Monday. McNabb is also a force defensively -- he had 148 hits, 207 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating this season, and his team-leading eight blocks in Game 1 set the tone for what he brings to the lineup in a top-four role.

    • Scores in Monday's win
      Marchessault scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: Marchessault's goal put the Golden Knights ahead 2-0 in the first period. The winger racked up 11 points over his last 56 regular-season outings, and he had a career-high 42 goals with 27 assists while playing in all 82 contests this season. Marchessault should continue to see heavy usage on the first line and on the power play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 pm
       
    • Takes down Stars
      Thompson stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: The Golden Knights led 3-2 after the first period, and Thompson was solid after that. The 27-year-old has won six of his last eight outings, and he's allowed no more than three goals in any of those wins. The Golden Knights alternated goalies late in the campaign, but Thompson may get a run as the starter since Adin Hill struggled in his three appearances leading up to the playoffs. Game 2 is Wednesday in Dallas. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
       
    • Leave ice first Monday
      Thompson was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road for Game 1 against the Stars.

      Advice: Thompson is coming off a solid regular season in which he set new personal bests in games played (46) and wins (25). The 27-year-old netminder's hold on the starting gig is tenuous at best considering he had been splitting time with Adin Hill to end the regular season, though Hill has struggled in recent games.

    • Playing against Kings
      Kane (abdomen) will be in the lineup versus Los Angeles for Monday's Game 1, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

      Advice: Kane will return to action following a three-game stint on the shelf due to a sports hernia. Despite slotting into a fourth-line role, Kane should still get opportunities with the man advantage. During the regular season, the veteran winger got back over the 20-goal threshold for the fifth time in the last six years with 24 goals and 44 points in 77 contests. He should offer decent offensive upside even in a limited role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:15 am
       
    • Earns assist against Rangers
      Wilson garnered an assist to go with 12 PIM in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

      Advice: Wilson has points in four of his last five outings, notching one goal and three assists, including one power-play point, in that span. Heading into Game 2, Wilson should continue hold a top-six role given his offensive upside, though he is prone to spending a lot of time in the penalty box, which will limit his ability to produce.

    • Supplies helper in Game 1 win
      Zadorov logged an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.

      Advice: Zadorov has three helpers over nine outings in April, and he's added 26 hits and 25 PIM. The 29-year-old should have no trouble staying in the lineup, but his offense is likely to be limited given his bottom-four role. Zadorov had 20 points, 90 shots on net, 175 hits, 68 blocked shots and 125 PIM over 75 appearances between the Canucks and the Flames in the regular season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:52 pm
