    • Game-time decision
      Carrick (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Monday in Game 2 versus Florida, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

      Advice: Carrick participated in Monday's morning skate, so it's unclear if he's dealing with an injury or if his spot in the lineup is a coach's decision. He has been scratched for three of Edmonton's last four playoff outings, including Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday. Carrick has one assist, four shots on goal and 29 hits in nine outings this postseason. If he plays, Corey Perry might be a healthy scratch. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:33 am
       
    • Headed to Switzerland
      Merela signed a one-year contract with SC Bern of Switzerland's National League on Monday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

      Advice: Merela is eligible for restricted free agency in July, so Tampa Bay could retain his NHL rights by extending a qualifying offer. The 25-year-old forward produced one goal, 17 shots and 32 hits in 19 regular-season appearances with the Lightning during the 2023-24 campaign. Merela also registered 15 goals and 34 points across 55 regular-season outings for AHL Syracuse this past season before adding three goals in eight playoff contests.

    • Plays heavy in win
      Bennett registered an assist, 11 hits, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Bennett is no stranger to heavy play, but he had to be feeling amped up for the series opener of the Stanley Cup Finals. The center has produced 11 points, 28 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-4 rating through 13 playoff appearances. He remains in a second-line role and should continue to blend offense and physicality as the Panthers look to keep up their high-energy playing style. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:53 pm
       
    • Picks up helper in win
      Reinhart logged an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Reinhart hadn't logged an assist since he dished out four of them in Game 2 of the second round versus the Bruins. Over the 10 contests in between, the 28-year-old winger posted five goals and 33 shots on net. He's up to 13 points (five on the power play), 68 shots, 44 hits, 27 blocks and a plus-2 rating through 18 playoff appearances in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:51 pm
       
    • Dishes pair of assists
      Barkov recorded two assists, two shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Barkov has a goal and five assists over his last five contests. The 28-year-old is firmly in the Conn Smythe conversation with six goals, 13 helpers, 47 shots on net, 40 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 18 playoff appearances, to go along with his usual stellar defensive work. Aside from the score, the Panthers didn't control much Saturday, and Barkov may have his hands full with arguably the toughest defensive matchups he's faced all season throughout the rest of the series.

    • Deposits empty-netter
      Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Luostarinen has a goal and two assists over his last three games after finishing Saturday's win with an empty-netter. The 25-year-old forward continues to play on the Panthers' third line, so his scoring chances will likely remain limited. He's picked up a decent seven points with 24 shots on net, 53 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 playoff contests in that supporting role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:46 pm
       
    • Adds insurance marker
      Rodrigues scored a goal, doled out three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Rodrigues tallied on a feed from Sam Bennett early in the second period to put the Panthers up 2-0. The 30-year-old Rodrigues had gone nine games without a goal, picking up four assists and 17 shots on net in that span. The forward is up to nine points, 33 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-1 rating through 18 playoff contests while playing in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:44 pm
       
    • Opens scoring in Game 1 win
      Verhaeghe scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Verhaeghe is up to 10 goals this postseason, four of which he's scored over the last seven games. The 28-year-old forward converted after a spring pass from Aleksander Barkov in the first period, and that goal was all the Panthers needed to get the win. Verhaeghe continues to provide clutch offense in a top-line role with 18 points, 64 shots on net, 22 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 18 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:41 pm
       
    • Secures two-year deal
      Thomas inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with Los Angeles on Thursday.

      Advice: Thomas made his NHL debut this season, drawing into seven regular-season games for the Kings in which he recorded three goals on nine shots, one assist and eight hits while averaging just 8:44 of ice time. While he won't be a lock for an Opening Night roster spot, Thomas should certainly be in the mix heading into training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:05 am
