    • Is week-to-week
      Demko is regarded as week-to-week, coach Rick Tocchet told Thomas Drance of The Athletic on Wednesday.

      Advice: Demko was a key part of the Canucks' regular-season success, posting a 35-14-2 record, 2.45 GAA and .918 save percentage in 51 contests. He also stopped 20 of 22 shots en route to a 4-2 victory over the Predators in Game 1 on Sunday. The Canucks will likely lean on Casey DeSmith during Demko's absence.

    • Set to start vs. Golden Knights
      Oettinger is slated to start at home against the Golden Knights in Game 2 on Wednesday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

      Advice: Oettinger will attempt to rebound after allowing four goals on just 15 shots in a 4-3 loss to Vegas on Monday. He was inconsistent in the regular season, finishing with a 35-14-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .905 save percentage in 54 contests. Oettinger also had a tough time versus the Golden Knights during the 2023 playoffs, stopping 143 of 163 shots (.877 save percentage) over the course of that six-game series.

    • Two helpers in OT loss
      Hedman picked up two assists, one on the power play, in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 2 on Tuesday.

      Advice: All of Tampa Bay's scoring came in the first six minutes of the second period, as the team was otherwise stifled by Sergei Bobrovsky. Hedman had managed only one multi-point performance in the prior 15 games, including Game 1, but he'd been a consistent contributor with a goal and 10 points over that span. The Bolts may need the 33-year-old blueliner to find another gear in order to have a chance to bounce back from an 0-2 deficit in the series. Rotowire.com Today, 8:33 am
       
    • Will avoid surgery
      McTavish is dealing with a sprained MCL in his knee, but he won't required offseason surgery, Derek Lee of The Sporting Tribune reports.

      Advice: McTavish missed the last six games of the season with the injury. The 21-year-old will compete for a top-six role in training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:01 pm
       
    • Out Tuesday, considered day-to-day
      Demko is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and won't play in Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Predators, Canucks rinkside reporter Kate Pettersen reports.

      Advice: Demko was solid in Sunday's Game 1, stopping 20 of 22 shots en route to a 4-2 win over Nashville. The good news is Demko's undisclosed injury isn't related to the knee issue that kept him out from March 13-April 13. The bad news is the Canucks will be without their No. 1 netminder for at least one playoff contest and potentially more. Casey DeSmith will take over for Vancouver between the pipes until Demko is ready to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 am
       
    • Undergoes shoulder surgery
      Meier will have arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder but is expected to be ready for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, the Devils announced Tuesday.

      Advice: Despite several injury concerns, Meier still managed to rack up 28 goals and 24 helpers in 69 games this season, including 17 power-play points. The Swiss international should be a near-lock to maintain a top-six role playing alongside Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes (shoulder) next season. It wouldn't be surprising to see Meier find his way back above the 30-goal and 60-point milestones provided he stays healthy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:23 am

    • Hat trick, assist in win
      Hyman scored three times on nine shots, dished an assist, doled out five hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.

      Advice: Hyman rested in the regular-season finale, and it was well earned after his 54-goal, 77-point campaign. The winger kept the offense up in the playoff opener, scoring once in each frame to power the Oilers' offense. Hyman's chemistry with Connor McDavid is quite prevalent, and their continued success figures to play a large role in how far the Oilers go this spring. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:13 pm
       
    • Poor showing in Game 1
      Oettinger allowed four goals on 15 shots in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 1.

      Advice: Oettinger turned in one of his worst efforts of the season, though two of the Golden Knights' four goals came on the power play. Oettinger is no stranger to dropping a Game 1 -- he lost all three of the Stars' series-opening contests during the team's run to the Western Conference Finals last year. He'll likely be given a chance to bounce back Wednesday in Game 2. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:36 pm
       
    • Scores in return
      Stone scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 2.

      Advice: Stone returned from a 26-game absence due to a lacerated spleen, and it took him just 1:23 into the contest to make an impact. He tipped in a Noah Hanifin shot to open the scoring. Stone had 16 goals and 37 assists over 56 regular-season outings, so he could flirt with a point-per-game pace in the playoffs. He also saw 17:09 of ice time Monday -- that's lower than his 19:24 average ice time from the regular season, but it was second most among Vegas forwards in Game 1. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:19 pm
