  • Signs two-year deal
    Gruden penned a two-year, two-way contract with the Penguins on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gruden played in just 13 games at the NHL level this season in which he generated one goal on nine shots, 35 hits and five blocks while averaging 8:40 of ice time. At this point, the youngster will be hard-pressed to break into the 23-man roster full-time next season but should see his fair share of call-ups throughout the campaign.

  • Registers assist Monday
    Holloway logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Holloway has a goal and an assist over his last two games. The 22-year-old entered the postseason with just 89 games of NHL experience, but he's quickly showing he's taken strides in his development as one of the more impactful depth players on the Oilers' roster. The forward has four points, 14 shots on net, 34 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 12 playoff appearances. He's seen even-strength minutes on the second line lately, though his overall ice time remains limited. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:18 pm
     
  • In action Monday
    Mikheyev (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup for Game 7 versus the Oilers on Monday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Mikheyev missed the previous two contests with an apparent undisclosed injury. He has yet to register a point in 10 postseason contests. With Mikheyev back in action, Vasily Podkolzin is expected to serve as a healthy scratch. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:06 am
     
  • Inks one-year extension
    Seney signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Monday.

    Advice: Seney supplied 23 goals and 63 points in 68 contests with AHL Rockford during the 2023-24 regular season. The 28-year-old forward has one goal in 11 NHL outings with the Blackhawks over the past two campaigns. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:10 am
     
  • Manages just one postseason point
    Heinen struggled in the playoffs, generating a lone helper in eight games, after reaching the 30-point threshold in the regular season.

    Advice: Heinen was back with the Bruins after last playing for the organization during the 2019-20 campaign. Despite limited power-play opportunities, the 28-year-old winger produced 17 goals and 19 assists, topping 30 points for the fourth time in his eight-year career. Looking ahead to next season, Heinen will hit the open market July 1 and could sign with a new team. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:49 am
     
  • Not playing Monday
    Henrique (ankle) will not suit up for Game 7 against Vancouver on Monday, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.

    Advice: Henrique will miss his fifth straight contest Monday, and he dressed in just one game this series. The veteran forward scored two points in Game 1 against the Kings during the first round but has not scored a point in five straight appearances. His status for the next round -- if Edmonton wins Game 7 against the Canucks -- is unclear at this time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:53 pm
     
  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Hoglander scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: Hoglander offered a quick response to Dylan Holloway's opening tally in the first period, but the Canucks' offense stalled out after that. The goal was Hoglander's first this postseason, and he's added just one assist with eight shots on net, 13 hits and a minus-2 rating over 10 appearances. The winger has been listed on the second line recently, but he's played a limited role with no power-play time, so there's little reason to think he'll soon turn a corner on offense.

  • Opens scoring in Game 6 win
    Holloway scored a goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Holloway snapped an eight-game point drought with the first-period tally. The 22-year-old has three goals, 12 shots on net, 31 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 postseason appearances. Holloway has logged over 11 minutes of ice time in five of six second-round contests -- while it's not a huge increase from his average of 9:23 over the five outings in the first round, it still shows he's gained some trust from head coach Kris Knoblauch.

  • Point streak at four games
    Kane scored a goal on four shots, added 10 PIM, logged seven hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Kane converted the Oilers' fifth goal after Leon Draisaitl won a faceoff back to him. During his four-game point streak, Kane has two goals, two assists, 15 hits and 16 PIM. The winger is at seven points, 28 shots, 41 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 11 playoff contests. He continues to play in a middle-six role, though he's looked a little sharper since Draisaitl moved back to the second line at even strength. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:25 pm
