  • 186-167-43 1st Place
    • Blown away by Carolina
      Varlamov turned aside 32 of 37 shots Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Islanders' first-round series, with Carolina's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

      Advice: With their season on the line, the Isles came out flat and were down 2-0 before the four-minute mark in the first period. While Varlamov played well enough to allow his team to rally and tie things up by the second intermission, the third period belonged to Carolina. The veteran netminder posted a 2.70 GAA and .914 save percentage in his five playoff appearances, numbers very similar to his 2.60 GAA and .918 save percentage during the regular season. Barring a trade, he'll return to man the crease in Long Island in 2024-25 alongside Ilya Sorokin. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:40 am
       
    • Two helpers in win
      Forsberg provided a pair of assists, two shots on goal and four hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: Forsberg helped out on third-period tallies by Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier to keep the Predators' season alive for another game. Through five playoff outings, Forsberg has been solid with two goals, four assists, 14 shots on net and 17 hits. The 29-year-old winger will continue to play a leading role on offense, which should also see him earn significant power-play minutes. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:13 pm
       
    • Nabs helper in loss
      Barbashev registered an assist and eight hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Barbashev has an assist in three of the Golden Knights' four playoff games so far. He's added 25 hits and a plus-2 rating, offering a heavy physical game in addition to his solid offense. Barbashev continues to play alongside Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault in a top-six role.

    • Adds assist in loss
      Kucherov posted an assist and two hits in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

      Advice: Kucherov stayed hot in the postseason with seven assists over five games, but he wasn't able to put a puck past Sergei Bobrovsky. The 30-year-old Kucherov had an excellent 2023-24 season despite the early playoff exit, earning 44 goals and 100 assists in 81 regular-season appearances. He should continue to be one of the top right wings in the NHL heading into 2024-25. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:46 pm
       
    • Gets starting nod for Tuesday
      Varlamov will be between the road pipes for Game 5 against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

      Advice: As expected, Varlamov gets the nod after having put together a strong showing in Game 4. He stopped 42 of 44 shots on net in that must-win contest. At this point, the 36-year-old Varlamov figures to continue trying to stave off elimination for the Islanders for as long as he can. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:49 am
       
    • Nets power-play marker
      Trocheck scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

      Advice: Trocheck scored late in the first period to give the Rangers a 2-1 lead. The 30-year-old wrapped up the first round with three goals, three assists, three power-play points, nine shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over four contests. Trocheck is locked in as the second-line center and should continue to be a strong source of offense throughout the postseason. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:12 pm
       
    • Finds twine in Game 4 loss
      Forsberg scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Forsberg's tally 12 seconds into the third period put the Predators up 3-1, but they couldn't hold the lead. The 29-year-old has done his part with two goals, two assists, 12 shots on net and 12 hits over four playoff contests, but Nashville is facing elimination after Sunday's loss. Forsberg will look to find another gear in Game 5 on Tuesday in Vancouver. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:23 pm
       
    • Sets up game-winner
      Garland recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Garland set up Elias Lindholm's tally 1:02 into overtime. After ending the regular season with 15 points over his last 14 games, Garland has just two assists through four playoff contests. He's added four shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. The Canucks have done fine without him being a huge contributor in the first round, but they'll likely need Garland and other depth forwards to step up if they're going to make a deep run.

    • Three helpers in Saturday's win
      Kucherov recorded three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

      Advice: Two of the helpers came in the third period as the Lightning put the game away. Kucherov is still looking for his first goal of the postseason, but he's found the scoresheet in all four contests so far while collecting six assists. He may need to come up big again in Game 5 on Monday if Tampa Bay is going to avoid elimination again. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:39 am
