  • Tending twine Friday
    Saros will face the Canucks at home for Game 6 on Friday.

Through five games this series, he's allowed only 11 goals but it's come with a lackluster .879 save percentage.

  • Returns to minors
    DiPietro was reassigned to AHL Providence on Friday, per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.

    Advice: DiPietro was summoned Tuesday so the Bruins would have a third goaltender on their playoff roster. He might be recalled ahead of Game 7 on Saturday against Toronto to continue to serve that function. DiPietro hasn't played for Boston in the regular season or playoffs in 2023-24, but he did record a 2.51 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 30 regular-season outings with Providence.

  • Good to play for Team Canada
    Guhle, who missed the final seven games of the regular season due to a head injury, will join Team Canada for the upcoming IIHF World Championship.

    Advice: Guhle finished the 2023-24 season with six goals, 22 points, 56 PIM, 116 hits and 178 blocks in 70 contests with Montreal. He served in a top-four capacity with the Canadiens, and the 22-year-old should act in a similar capacity for the franchise next campaign. In the meantime, Guhle will get in some extra high-level action during the international tournament before beginning his summer training. Rotowire.com Today, 1:02 pm
  • Not available Friday
    Marchment (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup for Game 6 in Vegas on Friday, according to Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    Advice: Marchment will miss his fourth straight contest after he was hurt in Game 2. Marchment ended the regular season with 22 goals, 31 assists, 108 hits and a plus-22 rating in 81 appearances for the Stars. Marchment should be considered day-to-day ahead of a potential Game 7 against the Golden Knights on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:45 am
  • Available against Knights
    Faksa (undisclosed) will be an option for Friday's Game 6 matchup with Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Even with Faksa cleared to play, he is far from a lock to take a spot in the lineup from Ty Dellandrea or Craig Smith. If the 30-year-old Faksa does suit up, he'll likely slide into a bottom-six role Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:45 am
  • Expected to start Friday

He had a 19-12-2 record, 2.71 GAA and .909 save percentage in 35 regular-season outings. Vegas needs to earn a win against Dallas, which has scored 2.80 goals per contest in the playoffs this year, to avoid elimination. Rotowire.com Today, 11:39 am
