  • Point streak at four games
    Kane scored a goal on four shots, added 10 PIM, logged seven hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Kane converted the Oilers' fifth goal after Leon Draisaitl won a faceoff back to him. During his four-game point streak, Kane has two goals, two assists, 15 hits and 16 PIM. The winger is at seven points, 28 shots, 41 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 11 playoff contests. He continues to play in a middle-six role, though he's looked a little sharper since Draisaitl moved back to the second line at even strength. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:25 pm
     
  • Scores early in loss
    Kane scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: Kane opened the scoring at 4:34 of the first period. The winger has a point in three straight games, with this goal being his first tally of the second round. Over 10 playoff contests, he has six points, 24 shots on net, 34 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-3 rating, but his play has been trending in the right direction lately. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:00 pm
     
  • Inks one-year deal
    Rittich signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Kings on Wednesday.

    Advice: Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2023-24. He also stopped 34 of 39 shots (.872 save percentage) across two playoff outings this year. Rittich would have become an unrestricted free agent this summer if he didn't sign this extension. Cam Talbot, who logged 54 regular-season games with LA, remains set to become a UFA, so it's unclear who Rittich's goaltending partner will be next year. Although the 31-year-old Rittich is coming off a strong campaign, he has spent most of his career as a backup goaltender, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Kings seek to pair him with an established starter.

  • Earns assist on game-winner
    Kane produced an assist, four hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Kane helped out on Evan Bouchard's game-winning goal in the final minute of the third period. This was Kane's second straight contest with a helper. The winger is up to five points, 22 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating over nine playoff appearances in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:23 pm
     
  • Shorthanded goal in loss
    Trouba netted a shorthanded goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 5.

    Advice: Trouba opened the scoring in the second period by firing a wrist shot past Carolina's Frederik Andersen, but that was it for New York's offensive output in the tilt. It was Trouba's first marker of the playoffs. The 30-year-old defenseman also had two shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in 18:38 of ice time. Trouba has four points (one goal) and a plus-1 rating in nine outings during the postseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:33 am
     
  • Helps out on power play
    Kane notched a power-play assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

    Advice: Kane hadn't posted a power-play point since March 23. The winger, who missed time late in the regular season due to a sports hernia, has four points, 21 shots on net, 30 hits and 15 PIM over eight playoff contests. Kane has primarily played in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, so his scoring contributions are likely to remain limited to a supporting level. Rotowire.com May 12, 10:37 pm
     
  • Notches helper
    Trouba provided an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

    Advice: Trouba helped out on an Alexis Lafreniere tally in the third period. Offense hasn't been a strong suit for Trouba in the playoffs -- he's earned three assists to go with 33 hits, 41 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating over eight contests. The 30-year-old defenseman was a little shaky in his own zone Saturday, but he continues to fill a veteran role on the Rangers' blue line. Rotowire.com May 11, 10:33 pm
