    • Three-point effort in win
      Rantanen scored twice on four shots, added an assist, went plus-4, logged three hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Rantanen finally buried a goal of his own after picking up seven helpers before scoring. His first tally in the third period was the game-winner, and he scored again a few minutes later. The 27-year-old has nine points, 14 shots on net, 13 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five playoff outings. He should continue to play in a top-line role heading into the second round. Rotowire.com Today, 10:14 pm
    • Scores lone goal in loss
      Marner scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.

      Advice: Marner snapped a five-game goal drought with his third-period tally, but the Maple Leafs couldn't make a rally out of it. He's picked up just two points with seven shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four playoff contests, which is not enough production from one of the team's core players. Marner remains in a top-six role, but Toronto will need more out of him to keep its season alive beyond Tuesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:48 pm
    • Expected to play Saturday
      Nylander (undisclosed) is likely to play in Saturday's Game 4 against the Bruins, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

      Advice: Nylander's return should provide Toronto's lineup with a major boost as they try to even the series in Game 4. The 27-year-old winger missed the first three games of Toronto's first-round playoff matchup after posting a career-high 98 points (40 goals, 58 assists) in 82 regular-season contests.

    • Sends two power-play assists
      Rantanen notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

      Advice: Rantanen has been all playmaker in the postseason with five helpers over three contests. He's added six shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating while playing in his familiar roles on the top line and first power-play unit. Rantanen has two goals and five assists during his five-game point streak, which he'll look to keep rolling in Sunday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:36 pm
    • Questionable for Saturday
      Nylander (undisclosed) said "I don't know" when asked Friday if he was playing in Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Nylander was a full participant at practice Friday, including on the first power play. The Maple Leafs are really missing Nylander, who has sat out the first three games of the series. Nylander ended the regular season with 40 goals and 98 points in 82 games. He should be considered a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's tilt in Toronto. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:00 am
    • Not playing Wednesday
      Nylander (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups, indicating he won't play in Game 3 versus the Bruins on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

      Advice: Nylander has been a game-time call throughout the playoffs, but he'll miss his third straight contest to open the Maple Leafs' first-round series. The 27-year-old's next chance to play is Saturday's Game 4 -- he may benefit from having an extra day to try to shake off the injury. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:34 pm
    • Could still play Wednesday
      Nylander (undisclosed) hasn't officially been ruled out for Game 3 against Boston on Wednesday after coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters "there's a chance" Nylander plays, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Nylander stayed on the ice late at morning skate, which would normally signal he won't be ready to jump into the lineup Wednesday. When the 27-year-old forward does return, he will likely slot into a third-line role playing alongside Calle Jarnkrok and Pontus Holmberg. In addition, Nylander figures to be pressed into service on the No. 1 power-play unit upon his return. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:19 am
    • Unlikely to play Wednesday
      Nylander (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Game 3 versus the Bruins on Wednesday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

      Advice: Nylander joined the Maple Leafs for the morning skate, but he remained on the ice with projected scratch Noah Gregor after the main group left. That suggests Nylander will miss his third straight contest due to the injury. When the 27-year-old is ready to return, he might play on the third line alongside Calle Jarnkrok and Pontus Holmberg as part of Toronto's effort to balance its offense.

    • Helps out on empty-netter
      Rantanen posted an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

      Advice: Rantanen has three helpers and nine hits over the first two contests of the playoffs. The 27-year-old winger continues to thrive in a top-six role, and he should get his looks throughout the postseason. Rantanen had 10 points in Colorado's seven-game playoff run last spring, so he's no stranger to contributing at this time of year. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:28 pm
