    • Stellar performance in loss
      Bobrovsky made 28 saves on 30 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

      Advice: Bobrovsky was spectacular in Friday's loss but he was outdueled in net by New York's Igor Shesterkin. Surprisingly, Bobrovsky hadn't faced at least 30 shots since Game 5 of Florida's first-round series against Tampa Bay. The 35-year-old netminder also hasn't allowed more than two goals past him in seven consecutive contests. Bob is locked in at the right time, and he'll have a chance to bounce back in Game 3 on Sunday afternoon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:10 pm
       
    • Avoids consecutive losses
      Shesterkin turned aside 26 of 27 shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime win against Florida in Game 2.

      Advice: It was a goaltending duel at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, and Shesterkin emerged victorious to help the Rangers avoid a two-game deficit in the series. Prior to the win Friday night, Shesterkin allowed at least two goals in eight consecutive appearances, so perhaps this type of performance is a confidence booster for the netminder and his team going forward. The 28-year-old is 9-3 with a 2.22 GAA and .928 save percentage so far during the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:55 pm
       
    • Exits Friday's contest
      Vesey (upper body) was injured during Game 2 against Florida on Friday.

      Advice: Vesey blocked one shot in 5:47 of ice time before leaving the game. The veteran winger has three points in 12 games this postseason, though just one point has come in his last 11 appearances. An update on his status should be available before Game 3 on Sunday.

    • Inks two-way deal
      Hicketts signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level with the Kings on Friday.

      Advice: Hicketts was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The 28-year-old defenseman had a goal and 20 points in 30 regular-season AHL outings with Ontario in 2023-24. He also supplied a goal and six points in eight minor-league playoff appearances this year. Hicketts is expected to remain in the AHL for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

    • Secures one-year deal
      Ward agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Los Angeles on Friday.

      Advice: Ward has yet to make his NHL debut, having spent the past three seasons playing exclusively in the minors with AHL Ontario. The 26-year-old winger did set new personal bests with the Reign this season, recoding 11 goals and 21 helpers before adding seven points in eight postseason contests. With his new deal in hand, look for Ward to once again spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 season in the minors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:51 pm
       
    • Could play Saturday
      Hintz (upper body) may be available to face Edmonton in Game 2 on Saturday after coach Pete DeBoer told reporters Hintz was "skating and possible for tomorrow" Friday, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

      Advice: Hintz has already missed the team's last three games due to his upper-body issue but appears to be nearing a return to action. Prior to getting hurt, the 27-year-old center had tallied two goals on 13 shots and four assists in his previous 11 postseason contests. Once cleared to play, Hintz figures to slot back into a first-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:03 am
       
    • Starting between the pipes
      Shesterkin is expected to tend the twine at home versus the Panthers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday.

      Advice: Shesterkin put together a solid performance in Game 1 on Wednesday, stopping 24 of 26 shots (.923 save percentage), but he was outdueled by opposing backstop Sergei Bobrovsky, who put together a 24-save shutout performance. In the postseason, the 28-year-old Shesterkin is 4-2 at home to go with a 2.34 GAA and .923 save percentage. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:30 am
       
    • Set to start Friday
      Bobrovsky is slated to guard the cage on the road versus the Rangers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday.

      Advice: Bobrovsky is coming off a 24-save shutout victory over New York in Game 1on Wednesday, his seventh shutout of the year and his first in the postseason. Overall, the 35-year-old veteran is sporting a 2.17 GAA and .910 save percentage through 12 playoff contests with a 5-1 record on the road. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:27 am
       
    • Brings physicality in Game 1
      Marchment dished out eight hits to go with five shots in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday.

      Advice: Marchment remains mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he's recorded 13 shots while also delivering 33 hits. Currently skating on a line with Matt Duchene and Joe Pavelski, the 28-year-old Marchment will likely need to start producing offensively in order to remain in a top-six role, especially once Roope Hintz (upper body) is cleared to return.
