  • Called up from minors
    Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Knight has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Checkers, logging action in 45 regular-season contests in which he posted a 25-14-5 record and .905 save percentage. Even with his promotion, Knight shouldn't be expected to get into any games, primarily serving as an emergency option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz.

  • Bags two apples Wednesday
    Johnston earned a pair of assists in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Johnston has been fantastic in the postseason, racking up three goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in five contests. The 20-year-old center avoided the sophomore slump during the regular season, setting new personal bests in goals (32), assists (33) and shots (216). Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:34 am
     
  • Garners two helpers Wednesday
    Nugent-Hopkins earned a pair of assists in a 4-3 victory over the Kings in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins has managed just two shots over his last four games, failing to find the back of the net along the way, but he's chipped in five helpers over that stretch. In fact, dating back to the regular season, the veteran center has scored only one goal in his previous 10 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:31 am
     
  • Two assists in loss
    Roy notched a pair of helpers in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Roy was able to bring a six-game pointless streak to a close with his two helpers but it wasn't enough to stave off elimination for Los Angeles. Unless the Kings can come to an agreement soon, the blueliner is set to be an unrestricted free agent July 1. Roy should have plenty of offers if he goes to the open market after reaching the 20-point mark for the third consecutive campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:28 am
     
  • Snags helper in Game 5
    Gavrikov picked up an assist in a 4-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Gavrikov ended the 2023-24 campaign stuck in a 17-game goal drought during which he put just 19 shots on net. During that stretch, the Russian blueliner did chip in five assists, including two in postseason action. Despite the slow end to the year, Gavrikov still managed to get back over the 20-point threshold after missing that mark last season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:23 am
     
  • Delivers helper in loss
    Englund recorded an assist in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Englund registered his first point since March 15 versus the Blackhawks, a stretch of 20 games without writing his name on the scoresheet. In 82 games during the regular season, the 28-year-old blueliner managed one goal and nine helpers, reaching the 10-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much more out of Englund heading into the 2024-25 campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:20 am
     
  • Set to start Thursday
    Swayman is slated to tend the twine on the road in Game 6 against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Swayman has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage while going 3-2-0. After the Game 5 loss Tuesday, there was certainly a chance the Bruins would turn back to Linus Ullmark, however, they will continue to ride Swayman into Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:27 am
     
  • Slated to start Game 6
    Woll was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS,ca, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Boston on Thursday.

    Advice: Woll has been sensational versus the Bruins in the postseason, giving up one goal on 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday in Game 5. He also stopped all five shots he faced in Game 4 after replacing Ilya Samsonov to start the third period. Woll has seen action in just 36 regular-season games in his NHL career, but he looked like a seasoned veteran while prevailing over the Bruins on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:25 am
     
  • Falls to Leafs in OT
    Swayman stopped 31 shots Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 5 of the Bruins' first-round series.

    Advice: Making his third straight start for Boston, Swayman played well but didn't get a lot of help from his teammates at either end of the ice. The 25-year-old netminder has a stellar 1.49 GAA and .952 save percentage in his four playoff starts so far, but it's not clear if coach Jim Montgomery will turn back to Linus Ullmark for Game 6 on Thursday.
