  • 11-8-3 2nd Place
    • Scores both goals in win
      Nylander scored twice on five shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

      Advice: Nylander opened the scoring late in the second period and scored again in the third, which proved to be a valuable insurance tally. The 28-year-old had been held off the scoresheet in his previous two outings after missing the first three games of the playoffs due to an undisclosed issue. He's added 13 shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating while seeing top-six usage during the postseason. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Earns two assists in win
      Skjei recorded two assists in a 6-3 victory over the Islanders in Game 5 on Tuesday.

      Advice: While Skjei remains goalless in his last 11 outings, the blueliner has tallied an impressive 10 helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. With injuries piling up among the Canes' defensemen, the 30-year-old Skjei could see an uptick in both even strength and power-play minutes heading into the next round of the playoffs.

    • Earns helper in Game 5 win
      Nyquist produced an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: Nyquist set up Alexandre Carrier for the game-winning goal in the third period. The 34-year-old Nyquist has a goal, three assists, five shots on net and five hits over five playoff appearances. The winger should continue to fill a playmaking role on the Predators' top line as they return home for another elimination game Friday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:15 pm
       
    • Produces pair of helpers
      Toews notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Toews set up goals by Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen in this contest. The 30-year-old Toews ends the first round with five points, five shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five appearances. He continues to play in a top-pairing role, and he shares enough ice time with the Avalanche's best players to put him in a good position to pick up fairly steady point production along the way.

    • Two more assists in win
      MacKinnon logged two assists, seven shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: MacKinnon helped out on both of Mikko Rantanen's tallies in the third period. Through five playoff outings, MacKinnon has racked up two goals, seven assists, 24 shots on net, five hits and a plus-5 rating. So far he's served as more of a playmaker for Valeri Nichushkin, who had seven goals while serving in a top-line role during the first round. Regardless of how he gets his offense, MacKinnon figures to be heavily involved in the Avalanche's progress in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:28 pm
       
    • Secures series win
      Georgiev stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Georgiev allowed seven goals in a Game 1 loss, then gave up a total of eight goals over the next four contests to guide the Avalanche to the 4-1 series win. Any questions about his ability to step up in the playoffs have been put to rest now. Georgiev will remain the starter heading into the second round, and he'll get some extra rest while the Avalanche await the winner of the Stars-Golden Knights series.

    • In goal for Game 5
      Georgiev will guard the road goal in Game 5 versus the Jets on Tuesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Georgiev has bounced back after losing Game 1, winning three straight contests to put the Avalanche on the brink of securing the first-round series. He's allowed just five goals on 81 shots during those three straight victories. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:15 pm
       
    • Available to play
      DeSmith (lower body) will return to the lineup in Tuesday's Game 5 home matchup versus Nashville, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

      Advice: Per Batchelor, the starting goaltender for the Canucks will be a game-time decision. Due to the absences of DeSmith and Thatcher Demko (knee), Arturs Silovs made his NHL playoff debut in Game 4, stopping 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Predators. If DeSmith doesn't start Tuesday, Silovs will probably be between the pipes. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:50 am
       
    • Helps out on power play
      Duchene recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

      Advice: The helper was Duchene's first point in four playoff outings. The center has added seven shots on net over the last two games, showing more promise flanked by Jamie Benn and Logan Stankoven following the Stars' lineup shuffle for Game 3. Duchene had 65 points, 172 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 80 regular-season appearances, so getting his offense going could help the Stars build on their momentum late in this first-round series versus Vegas.
