    • Two more assists in win
      MacKinnon logged two assists, seven shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: MacKinnon helped out on both of Mikko Rantanen's tallies in the third period. Through five playoff outings, MacKinnon has racked up two goals, seven assists, 24 shots on net, five hits and a plus-5 rating. So far he's served as more of a playmaker for Valeri Nichushkin, who had seven goals while serving in a top-line role during the first round. Regardless of how he gets his offense, MacKinnon figures to be heavily involved in the Avalanche's progress in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:28 pm
    • Tending twine in Game 5
      Woll will guard the road net Tuesday in Game 5 against Boston, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

      Advice: Woll will make his first start this postseason after Ilya Samsonov went 1-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .883 save percentage in the opening four contests of the series. The 25-year-old Woll stopped all five shots he faced during Saturday's relief appearance in Game 4. He posted a mark of 0-2-1 versus the Bruins during the 2023-24 regular season, surrendering 12 goals on 89 shots. The Maple Leafs need a win in Game 5 to force Game 6 back in Toronto on Thursday.

    • Stays warm with helper
      McNabb recorded an assist and four hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: McNabb has two goals, two assists, seven shots on net, 11 hits and 14 blocked shots over four playoff outings. His strong production at both ends of the ice has earned him a steady top-four role, and it's helped to make up for relatively quiet starts to the playoffs for Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore. McNabb likely can't be expected to maintain this level of offense in the long run, but he's worth a look in DFS while he's got a hot stick. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:06 pm
    • Gathers helper in loss
      Marchessault notched an assist, seven shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Marchessault helped out on a Jack Eichel tally in the second period. Through four playoff outings, Marchessault has two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-3 rating. The reigning Conn Smythe winner continues to occupy a significant role in the Golden Knights' top six, and he's been delivering with steady offense and energy. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:00 pm
    • Takes loss Monday
      Thompson stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Thompson has now lost back-to-back starts, though it's hardly his fault after putting in solid efforts. The 27-year-old has given up 10 goals on 127 shots through four playoff contests. Thompson's status as the starting goalie in the playoffs could come into question if he doesn't get back into the win column soon, but it's unclear if head coach Bruce Cassidy will stay the course or turn to Adin Hill for Game 5 on Wednesday.

    • First off ahead of Game 4
      Thompson was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, indicating he will patrol the home crease Monday in Game 4 against Dallas.

      Advice: Thompson is coming off a 43-save performance in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3. He has stopped 89 of 96 shots in Vegas' first-round series en route to a 2-1 record. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:58 am
    • Ruled out for Game 5
      Dillon (hand) will not be available against Colorado for Game 5 on Tuesday, John Lu of TSN reports.

      Advice: Dillon is stuck in a 12-game goal drought during which he has recorded four assists, 10 shots on goal and 45 hits while averaging 19:49 of ice time per contest. With Dillon sidelined, Logan Stanley stepped into the lineup for Game 4 and figures to remain in that role heading into Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:51 am
    • Scores lone goal in win
      Bouchard scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Kings in Game 4.

      Advice: Unlike previous games in this first-round series, offense was at a premium. Bouchard's goal was the only one of 13 Oilers shots to get by David Rittich, but Stuart Skinner made sure that was enough for Edmonton to go home ahead 3-1 in the series. The 24-year-old Bouchard has a goal, five helpers, 14 shots on net and nine blocked shots through four playoff outings, with four of his six points coming on the power play.

    • Sets up game-winner
      Garland recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Garland set up Elias Lindholm's tally 1:02 into overtime. After ending the regular season with 15 points over his last 14 games, Garland has just two assists through four playoff contests. He's added four shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. The Canucks have done fine without him being a huge contributor in the first round, but they'll likely need Garland and other depth forwards to step up if they're going to make a deep run.
