  • Collects assist
    Orlov recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Orlov helped out on a Martin Necas tally in the third period. The helper was Orlov's second point in six playoff outings, and he's added 14 shots on net, 11 hits and six blocked shots from a third-pairing role. The 32-year-old is not in the mix for power-play time, so it's unlikely he puts up much offense during the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 5:14 pm
     
  • Adds assist in Game 1 loss
    Martinook notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: The helper was Martinook's second point in six playoff outings. The winger is filling a middle-six role as a checking winger, though that's an assignment that won't get him on the scoresheet regularly. He's added 12 shots on net and 10 hits during the postseason.

  • Puts up helper in loss
    Burns logged an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Burns has a helper in consecutive contests, and he's up to three points through six playoff contests. The 39-year-old defenseman has added 12 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating this postseason. He's still taking on massive minutes in a top-four role, so Burns should be capable of adding respectable scoring numbers during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 5:11 pm
     
  • Garners helper
    Guentzel recorded a helper, five shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Guentzel helped out on a Jaccob Slavin tally in the first period. Through six playoff contests, Guentzel has a goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He should continue to work in a top-line role, as Guentzel has displayed excellent chemistry with Sebastian Aho since he was traded from the Penguins. Rotowire.com Today, 5:09 pm
     
  • Registers two helpers in loss
    Aho logged two assists, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Aho was held off the scoresheet in his previous two outings. He broke the mini-slump by setting up Jaccob Slavin and Seth Jarvis for tallies in Sunday's contest. Aho has five points, 13 shots on net, 14 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over six playoff contests. Rotowire.com Today, 5:07 pm
     
  • Lights lamp Sunday
    Slavin scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Slavin was limited to one assist over five games versus the Islanders in the first round. He snapped a six-game goal drought with his tally 3:48 into this contest, which tied it at 1-1. Slavin was his usual steady self in the regular season with 37 points, 151 shots on net, 120 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 81 appearances. The 30-year-old defenseman will likely be tasked with heavy defensive minutes in a top-pairing role against the Presidents' Trophy winners. Rotowire.com Today, 5:05 pm
     
  • First off ahead of Game 7
    Hill was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, indicating he will defend the road net Sunday in Game 7 against Dallas.

    Advice: Hill blanked the Stars with 23 saves in a 2-0 win in Friday's Game 6. He will make his third straight start after Logan Thompson played in the first four games of Vegas' first-round series. The 27-year-old Hill has stopped 45 of 48 shots en route to a 1-1 record this postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 8:59 am
     
  • Tending twine in Game 7
    Oettinger will patrol the home crease Sunday in Game 7 versus Vegas, per Stars radio host Owen Newkirk.

    Advice: Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. He has surrendered just 13 goals on 164 shots en route to a 3-3 record this postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 8:00 am
     
  • Gets on scoresheet Friday
    Karlsson registered an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: After a 60-point regular season, Karlsson was silenced for the first five games of the first round. He broke the slump by setting up Mark Stone's empty-netter Friday, though that's hardly a sign of good things to come for Karlsson. The veteran center is stuck in a third-line role, and his defensive skills are strong enough to prevent him from getting more favorable matchups. Karlsson has added nine shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating through six playoff outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:56 pm
