    • 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
       
    • Busy in Game 4 win
      Varlamov stopped 42 shots Saturday in a 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Islanders' first-round series.

      Advice: The 36-year-old netminder wouldn't let the Isles get swept, making 17 saves in the first OT period alone to give Mathew Barzal a chance to pot the winner. Varlamov has started three of New York's four playoff games so far, posting a stellar 2.08 GAA and .930 save percentage despite a 1-2 record, and he should get the nod again Tuesday for Game 5 as the series shifts back to Carolina.

    • Shines on special teams Friday
      Trocheck scored a power-play goal and added a shorthanded assist in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 win over the Capitals.

      Advice: That's back-to-back two-point efforts for the 30-year-old as the Rangers move closer to sweeping the Caps. Friday's power-play tally was Trocheck's first since March 9, but he has two goals and five points through three playoff games -- a big turnaround after he finished the regular season with zero goals and two assists in eight April contests.

    • Nets 20th career playoff goal
      Carlson was the lone scorer for the Capitals in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: Carlson opened the scoring with a fluttering shot that eluded Igor Shesterkin, but the lead was short-lived as the Blueshirts countered with two goals of their own in the first period, followed by a power-play insurance tally in the second frame. The venerable defenseman is up to 20 goals and 75 total points through 126 career playoff games, but being down 3-0 in the series, the Capitals need goals any way they can get them.

    • Active presence in Game 3 win
      Kane scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added 15 PIM and logged three hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Kane helped out on a Leon Draisaitl tally in the first period, scored a goal of his own in the second and then fought Andreas Englund to complete the Gordie Howe hat trick in the third. This was a classic Kane performance in a nutshell, with offense and physicality in equal parts. He's collected 11 hits, 14 shots on net, 15 PIM and two points through three playoff outings after being cleared following a three-game absence due to a sports hernia at the end of the regular season.
