  • Undergoes finger surgery
    Letang had surgery to repair a fractured finger and will need eight weeks to recover, the team announced Wednesday.

    Advice: Letang's recovery timeline shouldn't impact his availability for the start of training camp in the fall. Despite the injury concern, the veteran blueliner played a full 82-game season this past year for the first time since 2010-11. While the Montreal native still managed to rack up 51 points in 2023-24, his productivity with the man advantage dropped significantly, as he managed just five power-play points compared to 21 the campaign before.

  • Contributes helper in win
    Guentzel provided an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Guentzel has a point in all four games versus the Rangers, and he's been held off the scoresheet just twice in nine contests in the playoffs. The winger is up to four goals, five assists, 25 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating. Guentzel's top-line assignment and significant power-play role will make him a key player as the Hurricanes look to bounce back from their 3-1 series deficit. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:38 pm
     
  • Scores again Thursday
    Guentzel scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Guentzel opened the scoring midway through the third period, deflecting a feed from Dmitry Orlov past Igor Shesterkin to give Carolina an early 1-0 lead. While the Canes find themselves down 3-0 in the series, Guentzel has done his part, recording three goals and four points in the three contests. The 29-year-old winger has four goals and eight points in eight games so far in the postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:35 am
     
  • Two goals in loss
    Guentzel potted two goals on five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

    Advice: Guentzel was set up on both goals by Sebastian Aho, but it wasn't enough to lift Carolina over New York. Guentzel's two markers were complemented by a plus-2 rating and 26:39 of ice time. The 29-year-old has done his part since coming over in a trade from Pittsburgh -- in 17 regular-season outings, Guentzel racked up 25 points. In the postseason, he has seven points in as many games. The Hurricanes will need the star forward to make further contributions in order to get back into this series. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:13 pm
