  • Provides two helpers in win
    Seguin registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Seguin helped out on Jason Robertson's first and third goals of the game. With Roope Hintz (upper body) back in the fold, head coach Pete DeBoer had him centering Robertson and Seguin on a new-look first line -- typically, it's been Joe Pavelski or Wyatt Johnston in that spot instead of Seguin. Through 16 playoff contests, Seguin has been strong with five goals, seven helpers, 51 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-10 rating. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:00 pm
     
  • 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.

  • Scores twice in overtime win
    Lafreniere scored two goals on six shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Lafreniere scored a goal in each of the first two periods. He entered Sunday on a four-game point drought, though he added eight shots on net and 12 hits over that span before breaking through with a strong game on the scoresheet. Prior to his slump, Lafreniere was playing a key supporting role for the Rangers. He's at six goals, six helpers, 36 shots, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff appearances.

  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Brown tallied just 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening tally in the first period, tying the game at 1-1. The Oilers' offense couldn't solve Jake Oettinger again. Brown's goal was his first tally and second point in eight playoff appearances. He's added five shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating while filling a bottom-six role with minimal ice time. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:14 pm
     
  • Secures one-year deal
    Ward agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Los Angeles on Friday.

    Advice: Ward has yet to make his NHL debut, having spent the past three seasons playing exclusively in the minors with AHL Ontario. The 26-year-old winger did set new personal bests with the Reign this season, recoding 11 goals and 21 helpers before adding seven points in eight postseason contests. With his new deal in hand, look for Ward to once again spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 season in the minors. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:51 pm
     
  • Earns helper in loss
    Dadonov registered an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Dadonov has a goal and three assists over his last five contests. The winger has benefited from taking on a larger role while Roope Hintz (upper body) is out. Dadonov has seven points, 20 shots on net, 15 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 playoff outings, so even with his recent increased offense, he's still little more than a complementary part of the Stars' attack.

  • Scores twice in loss
    Seguin scored two goals on six shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Seguin willed the Stars back into the game with a tally in the second period and the equalizer with 3:23 left in the third. The comeback went no further, as the Oilers got a Connor McDavid goal 32 seconds into the second overtime. Seguin has turned up his offense with five goals and two assists over his last six games. He's at 10 points, 45 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-8 rating through 14 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Minus-3 in loss
    Lafreniere was held off the scoresheet in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Florida in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Lafreniere has failed to find the scoresheet in three straight outings after registering 10 points over his first eight games of the postseason. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick had three shots on goal, four hits, two blocks and two PIM in 17:23 of ice time Wednesday. The 22-year-old winger has four goals and six assists with a minus-2 rating in 11 contests so far this postseason. Lafreniere and the Rangers will attempt to even up the series in Game 2 on Friday night. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:50 am
     
  • Set for shoulder surgery
    Lehkonen is expected to undergo a shoulder procedure according to general manager Chris MacFarland, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports Thursday.

    Advice: Lehkonen was red hot during the Avalanche's opening-round series against the Jets, scoring a goal in each of the five games, but he was relatively quiet against Dallas in the second round. In six games versus the Stars, the 28-year-old winger tallied just one goal to go with two assists and 14 shots. At this point, the expectation is that Lehkonen will be ready for the start of training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:12 am
