    • Not playing Thursday
      Per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun, Matthews (illness) has been ruled out of the lineup Thursday versus Boston, according to coach Sheldon Keefe.

      Advice: Matthews was on the ice Thursday for 30 minutes before the morning skate, but did not participate during regular practice. The superstar center was pulled from action between the second and third periods Saturday, and was unable to play in Game 5 on Tuesday. Matthews had a goal and two assists in Game 2, but he has not had a point in any of the three other games he has played in during the playoffs. The hope is that he will be good to go for Game 7, if Toronto can extend the series with a win Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:52 am
       
    • Scores in Game 5
      Kempe scored a goal on a team-high three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Edmonton.

      Advice: Kempe cut the Kings' deficit to one goal 17:42 into the third period, deflecting a Matt Roy shot past Stuart Skinner, though Los Angeles would ultimately come up short as Edmonton took the series in five games. Still, it was a strong effort from Kempe, who tallied four goals and five points in the series. He posted a career-high 75 points (28 goals, 47 assists) in 77 regular-season contests.

    • Falls to Edmonton
      Rittich allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

      Advice: Rittich and the Kings couldn't overcome Edmonton's three-goal second period in the series-deciding loss. The 31-year-old Rittich started the series' final two games, going 0-2-0 with an .872 save percentage, after Cam Talbot struggled in the first three games. Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. As a pending free agent, Rittich could seek out a starting role prior to the 2024-25 campaign.

    • Falls to Dallas in Game 5
      Hill made 22 saves Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of the Golden Knights' first-round series.

      Advice: Two of Dallas' goals came on power plays, including Jason Robertson's game-winner in the second period, and Hill had little chance on the other in his first action so far this postseason. After taking a 2-0 lead in the series, Vegas has lost three straight games and faces elimination on home ice Friday. It's not clear whether Hill will be back between the pipes with the season on the line, or if coach Bruce Cassidy will turn back to Logan Thompson. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 am
       
    • Set to start Wednesday
      Rittich is slated to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

      Advice: Rittich is getting his second straight start after saving 12 of 13 shots in a 1-0 loss to Edmonton in Game 4 on Sunday. Edmonton has a potent offense, which ranked fourth in the 2023-24 campaign with 3.56 goals per game, so the Oilers will probably fire considerably more shots in the upcoming tilt. Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:32 am
       
    • Exits ice first Wednesday
      Hill was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday and is expected to get the starting nod on the road against the Stars in Game 5 on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

      Advice: Hill will step into the crease for the first time in the postseason after Logan Thompson gave up six goals on 77 shots (.922 save percentage) in a pair of defeats to Dallas in Games 3 and 4. The 27-year-old Hill has played in only three of the Knights' last 16 contests, registering a 1-2-0 record and 3.68 GAA. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:09 am
       
    • Nets power-play goal
      Josi scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: Josi has a goal, two assists, nine shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through five playoff contests. His tally Tuesday tied the game at 1-1. Josi's offense has been a little limited during the playoffs compared to his 85-point regular season, but he should continue to play with urgency as the Predators look to stave off elimination two more times in the first round.

    • Keeps season alive
      Saros stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: It was another low-event game, and Saros did his part this time to keep the Predators' season alive. He gave up just one goal to Nikita Zadorov in the third period. Saros has allowed 11 goals on 91 shots through five playoff outings -- those aren't great numbers, but he's done enough to keep most of the games close so far. The 29-year-old is almost guaranteed to get the nod again in Friday's Game 6. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:07 pm
       
    • Secures series win
      Georgiev stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Georgiev allowed seven goals in a Game 1 loss, then gave up a total of eight goals over the next four contests to guide the Avalanche to the 4-1 series win. Any questions about his ability to step up in the playoffs have been put to rest now. Georgiev will remain the starter heading into the second round, and he'll get some extra rest while the Avalanche await the winner of the Stars-Golden Knights series. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:11 pm
