  • Tallies in Game 5 win
    Rodrigues scored a goal on three shots and added eight hits in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

    Advice: Rodrigues contributed to the Panthers' third-period rally in their series-clinching win. The goal was his first of the playoffs, and he's added one assist, seven shots on net, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating over five postseason outings. He should continue to occupy a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Today, 9:06 pm
     
  • Scores goal, assist in win
    Makar scored a goal on three shots and picked up an assist in Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 win over the Jets.

    Advice: Makar has points in six straight games, racking up a combined three goals and eight assists, including five power-play points. During the regular season, the defenseman notched a career-high 90 points but still finished second behind Quinn Hughes for the NHL lead among blueliners. If the Avalanche make a deep run into the postseason, Makar could be in contention for the Conn Smythe trophy, especially if he continues to produce at this level. Rotowire.com Today, 6:23 am

The 29-year-old winger added two hits, three blocked shots, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 22:28 of ice time.

  • Delivers helper in loss
    Rodrigues supplied an assist in Game 4 on Saturday, albeit in a 6-3 road loss to the Lightning.

    Advice: Rodrigues had two assists in two road games versus the Bolts in the regular season, but the Panthers were overwhelmed by the Lightning this time around as that team had been facing a possible first-round series sweep. Rodrigues just capped off his second straight season with 39 points, starting in 2022-23 as a member of the Avalanche. A third-line role limits his fantasy prospects, though he continues to work on the man advantage in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 am
     
  • Assists in consecutive outings
    Cogliano notched an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Cogliano has a helper in consecutive contests after going 17 games without a point. Nonetheless, the 36-year-old forward shouldn't be expected to generate much offense during the playoffs while playing on the fourth line. He's picked up four hits, no shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in addition to his two helpers through three postseason outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:50 pm
     
  • Provides helper Friday
    Manson notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Advice: Manson has strung together a five-game point streak with two goals and three assists in that span. He has a goal, two helpers, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through three playoff outings. He stayed in a top-four role Friday even with the return of Samuel Girard (concussion) -- Sean Walker was demoted to the third pairing. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:47 pm
     
  • Logs power-play helper
    Makar notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Makar has a goal, five assists, 11 shots on net and eight blocked shots through three playoff contests. He's on a five-game point streak as well, with nine points in that span, including four on the power play. Makar's roles on the top pairing and first power-play unit see him logging a ton of ice time, so there's no reason to think his offense will drop off much during the postseason.
