  • Helps Florida tie series
    Bobrovsky made 21 saves on 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Bobrovsky was busy in the first period of Tuesday's win with 13 saves, but he only faced 10 more shots over the final 40 minutes of the contest. This was a result of Florida controlling the play over their opponent again -- it's the ninth time in the last 10 outings that Bobrovsky has faced less than 30 shots on goal. The 35-year-old netminder has a record of 10-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 15 postseason appearances this year. Bob and the Panthers will be in New York on Thursday for Game 5.

  • Slated to start Game 4
    Bobrovsky will guard the home crease Tuesday in Game 4 against the Rangers, per Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida.

    Advice: Bobrovsky has been solid thus far during this series against the Rangers, recording a .909 save percentage and allowing only seven goals in three games, though he gave up five in Game 3. The 35-year-old will perhaps need a stellar performance Tuesday for the Panthers to tie this series at two games apiece. He will have the home crowd in front of him for one of the biggest games in recent franchise history. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:50 am

    Mikkola logged an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Mikkola helped out on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the third period. The helper was Mikkola's first point in nine games since the start of the second round, though his lack of offense hasn't cost him a spot on the Panthers' second defense pairing. The 28-year-old has just three points to go with 11 shots on net, 43 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:16 pm

The 28-year-old Verhaeghe has two goals and four assists during his active four-game point streak, a big turnaround after he had just one goal over the previous five contests. Overall, he's at 16 points, 55 shots, 20 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 14 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:13 pm

  • One of each Sunday
    Barkov scored a goal on five shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Barkov had been held off the scoresheet in the previous four contests. He snapped the slump by setting up Sam Reinhart on the opening goal before scoring one of his own in the third period. Aside from his recent dry spell, Barkov has been excellent with five goals, 10 helpers, 36 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-3 rating over 14 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:06 pm
     
  • Leaky in loss
    Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Bobrovsky didn't give the Panthers a great chance to win despite his teammates controlling the pace of the game. Alexis Lafreniere and Barclay Goodrow each scored twice during regulation, while Alexander Wennberg tallied the winning goal on Bobrovsky 5:35 into overtime. Through 14 playoff contests, Bobrovsky is 9-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .903 save percentage, with this game being the first time in eight outings he allowed more than two goals. The 35-year-old goalie is at little risk of losing his starting job, so he should be expected between the pipes again for Tuesday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:02 pm

  • Tallies in Game 2 win
    Marchment scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: The goal snapped a three-game point drought for Marchment, and he found the back of the net for the first time since Game 1 of the first round versus Vegas. The 28-year-old winger has maintained a top-six role when healthy, though he missed six contests due to an undisclosed injury earlier in the postseason. Marchment is at four points, 19 shots on net, 38 hits and an even plus-minus rating over nine playoff outings, with his physicality being his best asset. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:53 pm
