  • Returns with two helpers
    Hintz logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Hintz set up the first two goals of Jason Robertson's hat trick. This was Hintz's return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he looked much like his usual self in 17:48 of ice time in a top-line role. The center is up to two goals, six helpers, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff appearances. Hintz should see significant ice time for the Stars moving forward, so he'll be a solid option in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Finds twine in Game 3 win
    Johnston scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: The goal was Johnston's first in five games, and he was held off the scoresheet in three of his previous four outings. The center's tally gave the Stars a 3-2 lead in the second period. The 21-year-old is up to eight goals, six assists, 51 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 16 playoff appearances. Johnston's strong play all over the ice has carried over from the regular season as he cements his status as one of the Stars' top forwards. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:51 pm
     
  • Suiting up Monday
    Hintz (upper body) is in Monday's Game 3 lineup against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

    Advice: Hintz is set to return from a four-game absence after suffering an injury during Game 4 of the second round against Colorado. He has six points in 11 postseason games, including five points in four appearances last series. The 27-year-old will slot back into his usual top-six role. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:04 pm
     
  • Game-time decision
    Hintz (upper body) will be a game-time decision Monday in Game 3 versus Edmonton, per Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com.

    Advice: If Hintz returns from a four-game absence in Monday's contest, he will likely occupy a top-six role and see time on the top power-play unit. He has produced two goals, six points, 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:39 am
     
  • Picks up assist in overtime win
    Roslovic recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Roslovic was credited with the secondary helper on Alexander Wennberg's tally in overtime. While he hasn't scored in nine games, Roslovic has picked up three assists over his last four contests. The 27-year-old winger began the playoffs in a top-line role, but he's now on the third line after Filip Chytil took his spot alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Roslovic is at eight points, 18 shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances, but his scoring chances are likely to be limited as long as he remains in the bottom six.

  • Nets game-winning goal
    Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Wennberg tallied 5:35 into the extra session to fend off the Panthers. This was the Rangers' second overtime win in a row, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Playing in a third-line role, Wennberg hasn't generated much on offense with two points through 13 playoff games, but he's added 17 blocked shots and 11 shots on net as a defensively responsible center.

  • Lands on waivers
    Gaunce was placed on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

    Advice: If he goes unclaimed, Gaunce will probably report to AHL Cleveland ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Hershey on Thursday. He picked up two goals and two assists in 24 NHL appearances with Columbus during the 2023-24 campaign. He also generated 19 goals and 39 points over 46 minor-league outings during the regular season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:30 pm
     
  • Poised to travel with team
    Hintz (upper body) will accompany the Stars to Edmonton ahead of Monday's Game 3, per Taylor Baird of NHL.com.

    Advice: Hintz could return from a four-game absence in Monday's contest. Coach Pete DeBoer suggested Sunday that Hintz might have played as early as Saturday in Game 2 if it had been a Game 7. Hintz has notched two goals, six points, 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason. If the 27-year-old forward is cleared to return, he will likely occupy a top-six role and see power-play time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:35 am
     
  • Contributes assist
    Steel notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Steel snapped a three-game drought with his helper on a Mason Marchment goal in the third period. Through 15 playoff outings, Steel has five points, 13 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating. He remains in a fourth-line role with no power-play time, but his spot in the lineup is safe even as head coach Pete DeBoer has shown little hesitation in changing his bottom-six personnel.
