    • Game 3 status uncertain
      Nurse, who reportedly suffered a hip injury in Game 2 on Monday, is still being evaluated. Coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters, "Haven't spoken to our medical staff. I'll be seeing them in about 15 minutes, and I'll get their report," per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

      Advice: Nurse offered little in the way of fantasy impact in Game 2, posting zero shots, zero hits and just one block in his limited 4:20 of ice time. If the veteran blueliner can't go Thursday for Game 3, Cody Ceci figures to rejoin the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch Monday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:27 am
       
    • Back on scoresheet in loss
      Bouchard recorded an assist in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 2.

      Advice: Bouchard has been a model of consistency when it comes to production from the backend -- he hasn't been held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests for the entirety of the postseason. His assist in Monday's loss tied him with Leon Draisaitl for second on the team in points (28) during the playoffs. After recording a career-high 82 points in 81 regular-season appearances, Bouchard is setting personal bests in playoff scoring as well. The 24-year-old defenseman has six goals, 22 assists and a team-leading plus-12 rating through 20 postseason contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:23 am
       
    • Scores Edmonton's lone goal
      Ekholm opened the scoring in the first period of Monday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 2.

      Advice: Ekholm has been a pleasant source of goal scoring for Edmonton during their Stanley Cup run -- he supplied his fifth marker of the playoffs in Monday's loss. His previous career high was with Nashville during the 2015-16 postseason, when he scored three goals in 14 appearances. The 34-year-old added three shots, five blocks and one hit in 24:54 of ice time in Game 2. As well-rounded of a player as Ekholm is, surprisingly, he hasn't registered an assist in 11 consecutive contests. The first-pair defenseman is up to five goals and three assists with a plus-7 rating through 20 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:18 am
       
    • Scores second of playoffs
      Mikkola scored the game-tying goal in Monday's 4-1 win over Edmonton in Game 2.

      Advice: Mikkola tied the game at one in the second period after burying a drop pass from Anton Lundell past Edmonton's Stuart Skinner. Mikkola had been held off the scoresheet in four consecutive contests prior to getting back on the board in Game 2. While he's not known for his offense, Mikkola will jump into the rush if given the opportunity, as evidenced by his marker Monday night. The second-pair defenseman has two goals and two assists with a plus-4 rating in 19 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:17 am
       
    • Garners helper in Game 1 win
      Montour logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Montour had the secondary helper on Evan Rodrigues' second-period tally. Through 18 playoff contests, Montour has 10 points, 38 shots on net, 38 hits and 28 blocked shots while playing in a top-four role. His offense has dipped later in the postseason -- he has just two assists over his last 10 outings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:55 pm
       
    • Underwent surgery in April
      Drysdale underwent surgery in April to address a significant lower-body injury, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: The exact nature of Drysdale's injury wasn't revealed, but general manager Daniel Briere suggested it was a lower-body issue. Drysdale is expected to be ready to play by the start of the 2024-24 season, but given the severity of the injury, fantasy managers will want to track his status through training camp.

    • Signs two-year extension
      Carlile signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Thursday.

      Advice: Carlile played most of the 2023-24 season with AHL Syracuse, where the defenseman had seven goals and 27 points in 61 regular-season games. He made his NHL debut Jan. 4 versus Minnesota, blocking a pair of shots in 11:27 of ice time. Carlile will likely spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

    • Cracks rib in postseason
      Lindgren said Tuesday that he suffered a cracked rib in the Rangers' May 16 win over the Hurricanes in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Lindgren was held out of a few practices leading up to the Eastern Conference Finals due to the injury, but he proceeded to play in all six of games in the Rangers' eventual 4-2 series loss to the Panthers, tallying two assists while averaging 19:07 in ice time. The 26-year-old will get some extended time to heal up over the offseason and should be fully cleared well in advance of training camp. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:24 pm
