  • 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 41 minutes ago
     
  • Tallies in loss
    Necas scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Necas cut the deficit to one goal with a tally early in the third period. The 25-year-old forward is up to two goals, four assists, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six playoff outings. Necas was only held off the scoresheet in Game 2 versus the Islanders, so he should be able to provide consistent offense in a middle-six role during this second-round series.

  • Pots goal in Game 1 loss
    Jarvis scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Jarvis' tally came with 1:45 left in the third period, but the Hurricanes were unable to find an equalizer. The winger has been strong so far in the playoffs with four goals, four assists, 14 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-4 rating over six appearances. While he's listed on the Hurricanes' third line, his usage has been more in line with a top-six forward, especially with a significant power-play role. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Hands out helper
    Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Joins big club
    Brown was recalled from AHL Providence on Sunday.

    Advice: Brown hasn't dressed in an NHL game since Jan. 27. He tallied 11 goals and 32 points in 42 games with AHL Providence. The 31-year-old will provide some extra depth in Boston as the team begins its series against the Panthers on Monday. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Two power-play points Sunday
    Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Both of Trocheck's points came on the power play as the Rangers opened a 3-1 lead in the first period. The 30-year-old center has found his game in the postseason with four goals and four assists over five outings. Trocheck continues to play on the second line at even strength, and he's also on the top power-play unit, where he's earned five of his eight points during the playoffs.

  • Starring role in Game 1 win
    Zibanejad scored twice, added an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Zibanejad scored the Rangers' first two goals and added an assist on a Vincent Trocheck tally. All three of Zibanejad's points came in the first period, and two of them were on the power play. He's racked up four straight multi-point efforts and his point streak is at 11 games (five goals, 13 helpers) dating back to April 5. The 31-year-old center plays in all situations for the Rangers, and that's unlikely to change in this second-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 4:46 pm
     
  • Suiting up for Team Canada
    Fantilli will suit up for Team Canada in the IIHF World Championship opener Sunday.

    Advice: Fantilli missed the final 33 games of the regular season after suffering a lacerated calf on Jan. 28. Now healthy, the 19-year-old center will look to contribute to Team Canada's run in the IIHF World Championships before preparing for the 2024-25 season. Fantilli finished his rookie campaign with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:26 am
     
  • Out Monday
    Bennett (upper body) won't play Monday in Game 1 versus the Bruins, though he's labeled as day-to-day, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Advice: Bennett missed the final three games of Florida's opening-round series against the Lightning. While he'll miss the opening game of the second round, coach Paul Maurice said Bennett was "better than I hoped" following Sunday's morning skate. Bennett has a goal and an assist so far in the playoffs after tallying 20 goals and 41 points in the regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:17 am
