    • Nabs helper in loss
      Kulikov posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

      Advice: The helper was Kulikov's first point since April 4, ending a 27-game dry spell that had covered all of the Panthers' postseason run. While his offense has been absence, the 33-year-old blueliner has racked up 55 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 23 playoff appearances. He's been a fixture in a third-line role, though that's not one that comes with much ice time given the talented defensemen on the Panthers' roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:51 pm

More impressively, he's added a plus-8 rating and hasn't taken a minus in any of those contests.

      Kulak recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

      Advice: Kulak has a helper in three of the last four games. The defenseman has been a surprising source of depth offense with eight points through 24 playoff contests after he logged just 16 points in 82 regular-season outings. He's added 45 blocks, 22 hits, 14 PIM, 21 shots on net and a minus-1 rating this postseason while skating on the third pairing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:39 pm
       
    • Provides helper in win
      Ekholm notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

      Advice: Ekholm has earned three points over six contests in the Stanley Cup Finals. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 10 points, 41 shots on net, 28 hits, 44 blocks and a plus-9 rating through 24 outings this postseason. He remains a stalwart on the first pairing, though his commitment to defense has left him out of the offense frequently. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:33 pm
       
    • Deposits empty-netter
      Nurse scored an empty-net goal, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

The defenseman is up to six points, 42 shots on net, 48 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 24 playoff contests. He'll likely remain in a second-pairing role for Monday's Game 7.

      Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Friday.

    • Dealing with tendon injury
      Tanev is recovering from a tendon injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Friday.

      Advice: Tanev had two goals, 19 points, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocks in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas in 2023-24. He also recorded two assists, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 playoff contests with the Stars. The 34-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July, so depending on the severity of his injury, it might complicate his contract negotiations over the summer.

    • Inks one-year deal
      Koch signed a one-year, two-way contract with Utah on Thursday.

      Advice: Koch provided some extra aggression for AHL Tucson last year, recording 97 PIM and 15 points in 63 contests. He also appeared in one NHL game with the Coyotes while playing on his entry-level deal. Koch is likely just organizational depth on the blue line for Utah. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:01 pm
