  • Dishes out 11 hits
    McAvoy delivered 11 hits Thursday in a 2-1 loss to Toronto in Game 6.

    Advice: McAvoy may be adding some physicality to the lineup with his hits but he's stuck in a nine-game goal drought. The defenseman did notch five helpers, including three with the man advantage, over that stretch. Still, the Bruins have managed just two goals in their last two games and will likely need more offensive output to come out on top in Game 7 versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

  • Expects to be ready for 2024-25
    Mayfield, who suffered a fractured ankle in the 2023-24 season opener, should be ready for the 2024-25 campaign, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Friday.

    Advice: Mayfield told reporters that his ankle injury never fully healed, which forced him to undergo surgery in February. Despite his ankle problem, the veteran blueliner still appeared in 41 games this year, recording five assists, 70 hits and 36 shots over that span. Rotowire.com Today, 6:37 am
  • Pockets helper
    Shattenkirk recorded an assist in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.

    Advice: Shattenkirk was scratched for Game 5 on Tuesday, but he checked back in for Matt Grzelcyk in this contest. The helper was Shattenkirk's first point in the postseason to go with three shots on net, six hits and two blocked shots over five appearances. The 35-year-old blueliner is stuck on the third pairing, so he shouldn't be counted on to make significant contributions on offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:05 pm
  • Chips in with helper
    Liljegren registered an assist and three hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

    Advice: Liljegren snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper. During that time, he missed eight games with an upper-body injury and was a healthy scratch once (in Game 4 on Saturday. The defenseman's place in the lineup is mostly secure, but it's not a guaranteed spot. He matched his career high with 23 points while adding 62 shots on net, 92 hits and 116 blocked shots in 55 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:55 pm

    Rielly recorded two assists, four hits and five blocked shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

    Advice: Rielly helped out on both of William Nylander's goals in the game. Through six playoff outings, Rielly has three assists, 15 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to see significant minutes on the top pairing, but he hasn't been as efficient on offense as he was during the regular season. Rielly had 58 points and 173 shots on goal over 72 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:50 pm
  • 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
