  • Can't close out series
    Silovs stopped 20 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.

    Advice: Silovs gave up goals to Roman Josi and Alexandre Carrier in the third period of a low-scoring loss. With five goals allowed on 52 shots, Silovs has been solid in his two playoff appearances. The 23-year-old may still end up ceding the crease back to Casey DeSmith, who served as backup Tuesday after missing Sunday's Game 4 with a lower-body injury. The Canucks will get their second chance to advance in Friday's Game 6 in Nashville. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:26 pm
     
  • Keeps season alive
    Saros stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: It was another low-event game, and Saros did his part this time to keep the Predators' season alive. He gave up just a Nikita Zadorov goal in the third period. Saros has allowed 11 goals on 91 shots through five playoff outings -- those aren't great numbers, but he's done enough to keep most of the games close so far. The 29-year-old is almost guaranteed to get the nod again in Friday's Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:07 pm
     
  • Can't shake skid Tuesday
    Hellebuyck stopped 26 of 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

    Advice: The Avalanche took over in the third period, leaving Hellebuyck with a fourth straight loss to end the Jets' playoff run after one round. The 30-year-old gave up 24 goals in five appearances, a dramatically worse performance than he showed with a 2.39 GAA and a .921 save percentage over 60 regular-season games. Hellebuyck was announced as a Vezina Trophy finalist this week for that work, but he'll likely want to forget the postseason quickly in preparation for 2024-25. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 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.

  • Rises to NHL
    DiPietro was called up from AHL Providence on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: DiPietro is likely up with the Bruins as an emergency third goalie for the playoffs. He signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Bruins in March, setting him up to once again fill an organizational depth role in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:33 pm
     
  • Starting in must-win scenario
    Saros will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

    Advice: Saros has allowed 10 goals on 71 shots over four first-round games, and he's gone 1-3 in those contests. That leaves the Predators in a must-win scenario Tuesday, and they'll ride with Saros to try to keep their season going. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:45 pm
     
  • Receives Game 5 start
    Silovs will guard the home goal versus the Predators on Tuesday in Game 5, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

    Advice: Silovs will get the nod after stopping 27 of 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the Predators on Sunday. The 23-year-old will start over Casey DeSmith, who has recovered from a lower-body injury enough to be able to serve as the backup. A win Tuesday for the Canucks will send them to the second round.

  • 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 Yesterday, 6:15 pm
     
  • Starting Game 5
    Swayman will protect the home net Tuesday in Game 5 against Toronto, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

    Advice: Swayman is coming off a 24-save effort in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4. He has posted a 3-0 record this postseason, stopping 87 of 91 shots during that span. The Bruins can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Tuesday's matchup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:35 pm
