    • Scores in Game 5
      Kempe scored a goal on a team-high three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 loss to Edmonton.

      Advice: Kempe cut the Kings' deficit to one goal 17:42 into the third period, deflecting a Matt Roy shot past Stuart Skinner, though Los Angeles would ultimately come up short as Edmonton took the series in five games. Still, it was a strong effort from Kempe, who tallied four goals and five points in the series. He posted a career-high 75 points (28 goals, 47 assists) in 77 regular-season contests.

    • Produces pair of helpers
      Toews notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Toews set up goals by Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen in this contest. The 30-year-old Toews ends the first round with five points, five shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five appearances. He continues to play in a top-pairing role, and he shares enough ice time with the Avalanche's best players to put him in a good position to pick up fairly steady point production along the way.

    • Secures series win
      Bobrovsky stopped 31 of 32 shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

      Advice: Bobrovsky secured a 4-1 series win in the first round with Monday's strong showing. The 35-year-old has given up 14 goals over five playoffs contests, though six of them came in his lone loss in Game 4. The Panthers will have a little extra time off ahead of the second round, where they'll face either the Bruins or the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:57 pm
       
    • In goal Monday
      Bobrovsky will get the starting nod at home against the Lightning in Game 5 on Monday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

      Advice: Bobrovsky will be looking for a bounce-back performance after conceding six goals on 32 shots (.813 save percentage) in Game 4 on Saturday. It was the veteran netminder's first regulation loss in his last eight outings dating back to the regular season, having gone 6-1-1 over that stretch. Despite the subpar outing in Game 4, Bobrovsky, who was named a Vezina Trophy finalist Monday, was never really in danger of losing the starting job. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:30 am
       
    • Provides relief appearance
      Brossoit was thrust into duty Sunday when starter Connor Hellebuyck was pulled at the end of the second period. He made four saves in relief as the Jets fell 5-1 to the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Hellebuyck was pulled in the second period after allowing four goals, so Brossoit took over between the pipes and turned aside all four shots sent his way. The Avalanche added an empty-netter with only 13 seconds left in the game. This was Brossoit's first appearance in the playoffs. Look for Winnipeg to return to Hellebuyck when the Jets host Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:58 pm
       
    • Jolted by Bolts
      Bobrovsky turned aside 26 shots Saturday during a 6-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 4 of the Panthers' first-round series.

      Advice: After dropping the first three games of the series, Tampa Bay wasn't going down without a fight and took a 3-0 lead into the first intermission before finally pulling away in the third period. Bobrovsky has given up only seven goals in Florida's three wins, so this performance would seem to have more to do with the Bolts' desperation than the veteran netminder's play. He'll look to get back on track Monday in Game 5 as the Panthers try to clinch the series on home ice. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:21 am
       
    • Tallies in Saturday's win
      Pastrnak scored a goal on four shots, levied three hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.

      Advice: Pastrnak has two goals and two assists through four outings in the first round. His tally Saturday was a back-breaker for Toronto, as it came with 42 seconds left in the second period to put Boston up 3-0. Pastrnak continues to see his usual top-six minutes with ample power-play time as a leader on offense for the Bruins. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Facing Lightning
      Bobrovsky will be between the visiting pipes in Tampa Bay on Saturday in Game 4, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

      Advice: Bobrovsky has been solid in net to help the Panthers take a 3-0 stranglehold on the best-of-seven series. He has allowed seven goals on 71 shots (.901 save percentage) against the Lightning in the opening round. Bobrovsky also had a stellar regular season, going 37-22-6 with a 2.42 GAA and a .921 save percentage. Florida can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Game 4.

    • Collects pair of points
      Toews scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

      Advice: Toews earned his first multi-point effort in six games. The defenseman helped out on an Artturi Lehkonen tally in the third period before depositing the empty-netter. In addition to three points, Toews has three shots on net, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through three playoff contests. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:20 pm
