• Nets goal in Game 7 loss
    Garland scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 7.

    Advice: Garland had three goals over seven games in the second round, but his contributions couldn't make up for the Canucks' overall unsteady offense. The winger posted five points, 24 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 13 playoff appearances. Garland enters 2024-25 with two years left on the five-year deal he signed in 2021, so it's likely he'll remain in a middle-six role for the Canucks going forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:27 pm
  • Registers assist Monday
    Holloway logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Holloway has a goal and an assist over his last two games. The 22-year-old entered the postseason with just 89 games of NHL experience, but he's quickly showing he's taken strides in his development as one of the more impactful depth players on the Oilers' roster. The forward has four points, 14 shots on net, 34 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 12 playoff appearances. He's seen even-strength minutes on the second line lately, though his overall ice time remains limited. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:18 pm
  • Won't return this postseason
    Boeser will miss the remainder of the 2024 playoffs after a blood-clotting issue was found in his leg following Vancouver's Game 6 loss to Edmonton on Saturday, per Sportsnet.

    Advice: Boeser will conclude the postseason with seven goals and 12 points in 12 appearances. He also set career highs during the 2023-24 regular season, producing 40 goals and 73 points over 81 outings. If Ilya Mikheyev (undisclosed) can't play in Monday's Game 7 matchup versus the Oilers, Sam Lafferty or Linus Karlsson could draw into the lineup to replace Boeser. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:31 am
  • Inks one-year extension
    Seney signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Monday.

    Advice: Seney supplied 23 goals and 63 points in 68 contests with AHL Rockford during the 2023-24 regular season. The 28-year-old forward has one goal in 11 NHL outings with the Blackhawks over the past two campaigns. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:10 am
  • Manages just one postseason point
    Heinen struggled in the playoffs, generating a lone helper in eight games, after reaching the 30-point threshold in the regular season.

    Advice: Heinen was back with the Bruins after last playing for the organization during the 2019-20 campaign. Despite limited power-play opportunities, the 28-year-old winger produced 17 goals and 19 assists, topping 30 points for the fourth time in his eight-year career. Looking ahead to next season, Heinen will hit the open market July 1 and could sign with a new team. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:49 am
  • Out for Game 7
    Boeser is dealing with a blood clotting issue and will not play in Monday's Game 7 against Edmonton, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Boeser's status moving forward is unclear, which would be a huge factor in the Western Conference Finals against Dallas if Vancouver wins Game 7. Fortunately, his condition is not considered to be life-threatening. He's scored seven goals and 12 points through 12 games this postseason, including a hat trick in Game 4 of the first round against Nashville. If Ilya Mikheyev (undisclosed) misses Game 7 as well, Sam Lafferty seems to be the most likely candidate to step in for Boeser. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:59 pm
  • Still in neck brace
    Fast (neck) was still wearing a neck brace Saturday while he continues to undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Advice: Fast was unavailable during the playoffs after suffering the injury in Carolina's regular-season finale April 16. The 32-year-old winger tallied six goals and 19 points in 73 regular-season games in a bottom-six role. Once the severity of his injury is diagnosed, Fast will focus on getting back to full health ahead of the 2024-25 season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:53 am
     
  • Notches assist in loss
    Pettersson recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: Pettersson has earned two helpers in the last two games but still hasn't been living up to expectations offensively during the playoffs. He's at six points, 20 shots, 23 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 12 appearances. However, he's looked slightly better since moving to the wing alongside Elias Lindholm.

  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Hoglander scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: Hoglander offered a quick response to Dylan Holloway's opening tally in the first period, but the Canucks' offense stalled out after that. The goal was Hoglander's first this postseason, and he's added just one assist with eight shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-2 rating over 10 appearances. The winger has been listed on the second line recently, but he's played a limited role with no power-play time, so there's little reason to think he'll soon turn a corner on offense.
