  • Nets shortie Saturday
    Eichel scored a shorthanded goal on six shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: Eichel's goal in the second period tied the game at 2-2. After finishing the regular season with a four-game point spree (two goals, three assists), the 27-year-old has two tallies and three assists during a three-game point streak to begin the playoffs. The star center has added eight hits, 11 shots on net and a plus-3 rating in the postseason as he continues to be the centerpiece of the Vegas offense. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:59 pm
     
  • Distributes three helpers
    Mittelstadt earned three assists, fired three shots on goal, went plus-3 and added two PIM in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Mittelstadt helped out on goals by Zach Parise, Artturi Lehkonen and Ross Colton. This was Mittelstadt's first multi-point effort in an Avalanche sweater. He's earned 14 points over 21 contests since he was traded from the Sabres at the deadline, and he's consistently held down a second-line job with Colorado. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:35 pm
     
  • Available for Friday
    Myers (illness) is expected to draw back into the lineup for Game 3 against Nashville on Friday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

    Advice: Myers had five goals, 29 points, 77 PIM, 110 hits and 136 blocks in 77 contests during the regular season. He missed Tuesday's 4-1 Game 2 loss to Nashville because of the illness. Now that Myers is healthy, he'll probably serve on the second pairing while Noah Juulsen might be scratched. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:05 pm
     
  • Two points in Game 2 win
    Eichel scored an empty-net goal on five shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Eichel has four points over two playoff outings, and he's earned three goals and six helpers during his six-game point streak. The center set up Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the first period before adding the empty-netter in the third. Eichel led the 2023 postseason with 26 points to contribute to the Golden Knights' first Stanley Cup championship, and he's off to a great start during their title defense.

  • Under the weather
    Myers is dealing with the flu, which caused him to miss Game 2 against the Predators on Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Myers had been rolling offensively prior to falling ill, recording five points in his last six games, including a short-handed goal. Without Myers in the lineup, Noah Juulsen stepped into the lineup Tuesday and will likely continue to fill in for Myers if he remains unavailable for Game 3 on Friday.

  • Out of action Tuesday
    Myers (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Predators, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Advice: Myers has had success in a top-four role this season, so it's notable he's out of the lineup for this contest. The Canucks have not specified a reason for his absence. Noah Juulsen will draw into the lineup for Myers, who will aim to return Friday for Game 3. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Dishes two helpers
    Eichel logged two assists, including one on the power play, and five hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Eichel helped out on goals by Mark Stone and Brayden McNabb in this contest. Since March 9, Eichel has been red hot with 12 goals, 14 assists, 94 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 20 games. The 27-year-old will continue to center the Golden Knights' top line, and he should be capable of generating steady offense in the postseason. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:28 pm
     
  • Strikes late in loss
    Mittelstadt scored a goal on five shots and added three hits in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Jets in Game 1.

    Advice: Mittelstadt scored with 30 seconds left in the third period to create some drama, but the Avalanche fell short in the end. It was his first goal over nine games in April. The 25-year-old center produced 18 tallies, 57 points, 127 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 80 regular-season appearances between Colorado and Buffalo. Sunday marked his playoff debut, but Mittelstadt is surrounded by teammates familiar with the postseason grind, so he should be able to adjust quickly. Rotowire.com Apr 21, 8:34 pm
