  • Tallies lone goal in loss
    Mittelstadt scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Mittelstadt has two points over four games in the second round, with his tally Monday being all the Avalanche could muster against Jake Oettinger in the contest. The 25-year-old Mittelstadt is at eight points, 20 shots on net and 12 hits through nine playoff outings. The Avalanche's offense has been lacking both in volume and depth in this series, so Mittelstadt is far from the only player that needs to find another level with the team's season on the line going forward.

  • Adds helper Monday
    Stankoven logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Advice: Stankoven set up Miro Heiskanen's second-period tally, which gave the Stars a 3-0 lead. With three points over his last two games, Stankoven appears to be finding a rhythm in the playoffs. He's at five points, 22 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-4 rating through 11 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:18 am
     
  • Registers helper in win
    Seguin logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Advice: Seguin has three goals and an assist during his three-game point streak, surpassing three helpers he had in the first round versus Vegas. The 32-year-old forward could be called on for a larger role if Roope Hintz (upper body) can't suit up in Wednesday's Game 5. Seguin has seven points, 35 shots, 17 hits and a plus-8 rating over 11 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 am
     
  • Two points in win
    Steel scored an empty-net goal on two shots, dished a shorthanded assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Advice: Steel's shot on a shorthanded chance led to Wyatt Johnston's goal on a rebound. Steel also deposited an empty-netter to seal the Stars' third straight win. The 26-year-old has just four points through 11 playoff outings, but three of them have come over the last two games. He could be in line for a larger role if Roope Hintz (upper body) misses time after leaving Monday's contest in the first period. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 am
     
  • Stellar in Game 4
    Johnston scored two goals on eight shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

    Advice: Johnston opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal on a rebound in the first period. He added a power-play marker in the second and set up Sam Steel's empty-netter in the third. Johnston had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. That hasn't stopped him from looking like a standout for the Stars with seven goals, four assists, 39 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 11 playoff appearances. If Roope Hintz (upper body) misses time, Johnston could be a natural fit to take his spot on the top line. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 am
     
  • Injured Monday
    Hintz suffered an upper-body injury during Game 4 against Colorado on Monday.

    Advice: Hintz logged just 6:35 of ice time before exiting the contest. He's tallied two goals and six points through 11 playoff appearances after racking up 30 goals and 65 points during the regular season. An update on his status should be available before Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:06 pm
     
  • Unavailable Monday
    Chytil (illness) will not play Monday against the Hurricanes, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

    Advice: On top of his illness, Chytil is reportedly also dealing with some soreness that's unrelated to the head injury that cost him nearly the entire 2023-24 campaign. He logged one shot and one hit in 12:02 of ice time during the Game 3 win against Carolina, his first game since Nov. 2. He'll be considered question for Game 6 on Thursday, if necessary.

  • Status uncertain
    Chytil (illness) remains questionable to face Carolina in Game 5 on Monday after head coach Peter Laviolette told reporters, "He practiced this morning. That's a real positive thing for our team. I'm going to keep any lineup decisions that I make to myself," per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

    Advice: The fact that Chytil didn't take part in line rushes would certainly indicate that he won't be in action Monday but fantasy managers will have to wait until closer to puck drop for official confirmation on the center's status. If he were to be cleared to play, Chytil would likely knock Jonny Brodzinski from the lineup while filling a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:03 am
     
  • Summoned from AHL
    Megna was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday.

    Advice: Megna notched 19 goals and 56 points in 69 regular-season games for Providence in 2023-24. He also added two goals and one assist in four outings during the AHL playoffs. Megna probably won't see any game action during Boston's postseason run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:53 am
