  • 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 Today, 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 Today, 7:53 am
     
  • Recalled from minors
    Brown was elevated from AHL Providence on Monday.

    Advice: Brown's promotion comes as AHL Providence was eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs Friday. As such, there is no guarantee the veteran center will get ice time even with the injury to Brad Marchand (upper body). Still, Brown does have 149 games of NHL experience under his belt, which should improve his chances of getting into the lineup if needed. Rotowire.com Today, 7:53 am
     
  • Registers helper in win
    Suter logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Suter set up the second of Brock Boeser's tallies in the first period. Through nine playoff outings, Suter's scoring contributions have been rather limited -- he has two goals and one assist, along with 19 shots on net. The 27-year-old can handle top-six minutes, but he's unlikely to produce offense at that level on a regular basis, and he doesn't make up for it with physical play that would bolster his fantasy standing.

  • Tallies twice on power play
    Lindholm scored a pair of power-play goals, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Lindholm's first goal tied the game at 1-1, and his tally late in the second period ended up being the game-winner. The 29-year-old has a trio of multi-point efforts and three scoreless outings over his last six contests. He's up to five goals, two assists, 18 shots on net, 27 hits and 12 blocked shots through nine playoff appearances. Lindholm's goals Sunday were his first power-play contributions in the postseason.

  • Two points in win
    Lundell scored a goal and supplied an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over Boston in Game 4.

    Advice: Lundell opened the scoring for the Panthers to cut Boston's lead to one in the second period. He then set up Sam Bennett on the power play to tie the game at 2-2 early in the third period. Lundell has been a solid source of offense for Florida as a depth player -- the third-line center has one goal and six assists in nine contests so far this postseason. Lundell and the Panthers will attempt to close out the series Tuesday in Florida. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:47 pm
     
  • Ruled out Sunday
    Henrique (undisclosed) won't play Sunday in Game 3 against Vancouver, Tony Brar of OilersTV reports.

    Advice: Henrique saw 11:38 of ice time in Game 2 on Friday after missing Game 1 with a lower-body injury -- likely the same injury that will sideline the veteran forward Sunday. Henrique has a goal and an assist in six postseason games, both coming in the opening contest of Edmonton's first-round matchup with the Kings. Connor Brown will reenter the lineup in Henrique's absence. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 am
     
  • Posts assist in Game 3 win
    Steel logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Steel has just two assists to go with eight shots on net and 15 hits through 10 playoff outings. He's exceeded 14 minutes of ice time in four straight games despite being listed on the Stars' fourth line. Steel is far from a reliable scorer, but he appears to have the trust of head coach Pete DeBoer to handle a versatile depth role during the postseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:36 pm
     
  • Garners assist in win
    Duchene notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Duchene has gone five games without a goal. Through 10 playoff contests, he has one tally, three assists, 13 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. With Tyler Seguin scoring twice and looking more like himself in Saturday's victory following a late-season injury, Duchene's offense could get a boost. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:20 pm
