  • Falters in Game 6
    Silovs allowed five goals on 27 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: Silovs had his worst outing of the playoffs, squandering the Canucks' first chance to book a spot in the Western Conference Finals. The team in front of him was flat as well, registering a meager 15 shots on net, which is low even by its unimpressive shot volume for the postseason (21.1 shots per game). Silovs is 5-4 with a 2.89 GAA and an .898 save percentage through nine playoff outings. He's alternated wins and losses in the second round, but it's unclear if he'll get the nod at home for Game 7 on Monday or if head coach Rick Tocchet will turn to Casey DeSmith.

  • First off ahead of Game 6
    Silovs was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic, indicating he will guard the road net Saturday in Game 6 against Edmonton.

    Advice: Silovs is coming off a 21-save performance in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Oilers in Game 5. He has posted a 2.62 GAA and a .907 save percentage through eight appearances this postseason en route to a 5-3 record. Edmonton ranks second in the 2024 playoffs with 3.80 goals per game.

  • Recalled from minors
    Poirier was summoned from AHL Texas on Saturday.

    Advice: The 22-year-old netminder was 17-16-4 with a 3.19 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 38 games during the regular season. Poirier has yet to play a game at the NHL level. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:48 am
     
  • Reassigned to minors
    Garand was demoted to AHL Hartford on Friday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: Garand earned a promotion for Game 6 against Carolina on Thursday but was quickly sent back down. Barring multiple injuries to goaltenders, he shouldn't see any action for the Rangers this postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:30 pm
     
  • Tough outing to end season
    Andersen made 19 saves on 23 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

    Advice: Carolina had two separate two-goal leads in Thursday's loss, but Andersen and the Hurricanes couldn't keep the door shut. Carolina went up 2-0 early in the second period, but New York answered back less than a minute later after Andersen lost his footing in the crease. New York went on to dominate the third period -- Chris Kreider scored a natural hat trick to complete the comeback for the Rangers. Andersen finished the postseason with a 6-4 record alongside a 2.62 GAA and an .895 save percentage. The 34-year-old veteran has one more year remaining on his current deal before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2025-26. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:49 am
     
  • Wins Game 5
    Silovs allowed two goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Silovs allowed both goals in the first period, but the Canucks were able to bail him out with a goal in each frame. This was the first time he limited the Oilers to fewer than three goals during the second round. He's alternated wins and losses over the last five games while surrendering 16 goals. Silovs should be expected to start Saturday in Edmonton for Game 6 with a chance to clinch the series. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:42 pm
     
  • Tending twine in Game 6
    Andersen will guard the home goal versus the Rangers in Thursday's Game 6, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    Advice: Andersen has won his last two outings, allowing four goals on 46 shots in those contests. He is 6-3 with a 2.46 GAA and a .902 save percentage over nine playoff outings, and he has yet to lose on home ice this postseason. A win Thursday for Andersen and the Hurricanes would force a Game 7 on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:35 pm
     
  • Summoned from AHL
    Garand was called up from AHL Hartford on Thursday.

    Advice: Garand had a 3.03 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 39 regular-season contests with Hartford. He also posted a 2.32 GAA and a .931 save percentage in seven AHL playoff outings. Garand is unlikely to play for the Rangers during the 2024 playoffs. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:35 pm
     
  • First goalie off Thursday
    Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Silovs will make his eighth straight start since supplanting Casey DeSmith as the preferred option between the pipes -- at least while Thatcher Demko (knee) is sidelined. In his prior seven postseason outings, the 23-year-old Silovs is 4-3 with a 2.71 GAA and one shutout. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:06 am
