  • Still missing Friday
    Hintz (upper body) will remain unavailable for Game 6 versus Colorado on Friday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

    Advice: Hintz will be out of action for his second consecutive game due to his upper-body issue. Coach Peter DeBoer told reporters he was hopeful the 27-year-old center would be healthy in time for Game 7, if necessary. While Hintz has scored just one goal in his last seven outings, he has chipped in four helpers, including two with the man advantage. With Hintz out, Matt Duchene figures to continue anchoring the first line alongside Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski. Rotowire.com Today, 10:36 am
     
  • Back on scoresheet in win
    Trocheck had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over Carolina in Game 6.

    Advice: Trocheck was back to his usual form after a brief hiatus from the scoresheet in consecutive contests prior to Game 6. The second-line center deflected a shot from Artemi Panarin past Carolina's Frederik Andersen to give the Rangers life early in the second period after being down two goals. Trocheck would add a secondary assist on Chris Kreider's game-tying power-play marker in the third period. Trocheck also had three shots on net, four hits and a plus-1 rating in 23:14 of ice time. After setting a career high during the regular season with 77 points in 82 games, the 30-year-old center is up to six goals and eight assists in 10 contests this postseason.

  • Two primary assists in win
    Panarin provided two assists in Thursday's 5-3 win over Carolina in Game 6.

    Advice: Panarin helped cut Carolina's lead to one in the second period when he assisted on Vincent Trocheck's goal at even strength. Panarin would add a power-play assist on Chris Kreider's game-tying goal shortly after the midway point of the final frame. Panarin also had four shots on goal with a plus-1 rating in 20:39 of ice time. The 32-year-old forward is up to four goals and seven assists in 10 contests with a minus-2 rating this postseason.

  • Won't play Friday
    Trenin (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Game 6 versus Dallas on Friday. Coach Jared Bednar told reporters, "He won't be available tonight. He's on the shelf for tonight's game. Still classify him as day-to-day," per Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette.

    Advice: Trenin has produced just one point in 10 postseason contests, so his absence from the lineup is unlikely to have a significant impact on fantasy players. Without Trenin in the lineup, the Avs will likely turn to Chris Wagner to fill a fourth-line center role, though Fredrik Olofsson could also be in the mix. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
     
  • Phenomenal performance in win
    Kreider scored a natural hat trick in Thursday's 5-3 win over Carolina in Game 6.

    Advice: Kreider was stellar Thursday night, providing three consecutive goals in the final frame to help the Rangers advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. New York's captain jammed home a loose puck at the side of the net to put the Rangers within one in the third period. He then deflected a shot from Artemi Panarin past Carolina's Frederik Andersen to tie the game for New York. Kreider completed the comeback by netting the game-winning goal on a beautiful pass from Ryan Lindgren behind the net. Kreider finished the series against Carolina with seven points (five goals) in six outings despite failing to find the scoresheet in his previous two contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
     
  • Supplies two helpers in defeat
    Svechnikov registered two assists in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

    Advice: Svechnikov had a secondary assist on the power play and a primary helper at even strength in Thursday's defeat. The 24-year-old added one shot, one block, four hits and a minus-1 rating in 19:04 of ice time. The Russian forward did have six points in as many games this series, but he found the back of the net only once. He finished the postseason with 11 points in 11 contests. Svechnikov has five years remaining on his current contract heading into the offseason. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am
     
  • Two points in loss
    Aho scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

    Advice: Aho had the primary assist on Seth Jarvis' power-play marker early in the second period. Aho also had an even-strength tally in the middle frame, which was the final goal Carolina scored in the contest. In addition to recording two points, the Finnish center had two shots on net, one block and a minus-2 rating in 18:48 of ice time. After a career high in the regular season with 89 points, the 26-year-old forward finished the postseason with four goals, eight assists and a plus-1 rating in 11 outings.

  • Officially game-time call
    Marchand (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Coach Jim Montgomery was almost never going to confirm Marchand in the lineup considering we are in the postseason. Fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach, though the fact that Marchand was working with the No. 1 power-play unit Thursday should indicate his availability. If he does suit up, the veteran will be looking to end a six-game goal-scoring drought in order to help the Bruins stave off elimination. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 am
     
  • Puts up helper
    Brown logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: The helper was Brown's first point in four playoff contests, and he's added two hits and a plus-1 rating. The 30-year-old has been limited to fourth-line minutes, which has given him few chances to contribute. Brown could be at risk of losing his spot in the lineup once Adam Henrique (ankle) is able to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:10 pm
