    • Plays heavy in win
      Bennett registered an assist, 11 hits, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Bennett is no stranger to heavy play, but he had to be feeling amped up for the series opener of the Stanley Cup Finals. The center has produced 11 points, 28 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-4 rating through 13 playoff appearances. He remains in a second-line role and should continue to blend offense and physicality as the Panthers look to keep up their high-energy playing style. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
       
    • Dishes pair of assists
      Barkov recorded two assists, two shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Barkov has a goal and five assists over his last five contests. The 28-year-old is firmly in the Conn Smythe conversation with six goals, 13 helpers, 47 shots on net, 40 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 18 playoff appearances, to go along with his usual stellar defensive work. Aside from the score, the Panthers didn't control much Saturday, and Barkov may have his hands full with arguably the toughest defensive matchups he's faced all season throughout the rest of the series.

    • Deposits empty-netter
      Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Luostarinen has a goal and two assists over his last three games after finishing Saturday's win with an empty-netter. The 25-year-old forward continues to play on the Panthers' third line, so his scoring chances are likely to remain limited. He's picked up a decent seven points with 24 shots on net, 53 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 playoff contests in that supporting role. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
       
    • Adds insurance marker
      Rodrigues scored a goal, doled out three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Rodrigues tallied on a feed from Sam Bennett early in the second period to put the Panthers up 2-0. The 30-year-old Rodrigues had gone nine games without a goal, picking up four assists and 17 shots on net in that span. The forward is up to nine points, 33 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-1 rating through 18 playoff contests while playing in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Secures two-year deal
      Thomas inked a two-year, $1.55 million contract with Los Angeles on Thursday.

      Advice: Thomas made his NHL debut this season, drawing into seven regular-season games for the Kings in which he recorded three goals on nine shots, one assist and eight hits while averaging just 8:44 of ice time. While he won't be a lock for an Opening Night roster spot, Thomas should certainly be in the mix heading into training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:05 am
       
    • Playing days likely over
      Pavelski said Tuesday that he won't play in 2024-25 and is likely to bring an end to his 18-year NHL career, Ryan S. Clark of ESPN.com reports. "This is it for me," Pavelski said.

      Advice: While Pavelski didn't say outright that he was retiring from professional hockey, he acknowledged in his postseason exit interviews that he had known for a while that the 2023-24 season would be his last in the NHL. The second-oldest player in the NHL this past season, Pavelski remained a productive source of offense for Dallas, notching 27 goals and 40 assists while playing in all 82 contests. Before joining Dallas as a free agent in 2019, Pavelski served as a longtime captain for San Jose and represented the club in two All-Star Games. He added two more All-Star appearances to his ledger during his five seasons in Dallas and finishes his career with 476 goals and 592 assists over 1,332 regular-season games.

    • Registers assist Sunday
      Seguin produced an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

      Advice: Seguin finished the postseason with five goals, eight assists, 59 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-9 rating in a top-six role for the Stars, but he went without a goal in the last five contests. The 32-year-old forward was bothered by a lower-body injury late in the regular season, and it's unclear if that was still a factor in the playoffs, though he certainly played well enough to seem fully healthy. Seguin has three years left on a contract with a $9.85 million cap hit and a no-move clause, so he's a virtual lock to reprise his top-six role with the Stars in 2024-25 even though his offense doesn't match his salary at this stage of his career.

    • Records 20th point of playoffs
      Trocheck supplied a helper in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6.

      Advice: Trocheck had the primary assist on Artemi Panarin's marker late in the third period, which cut Florida's lead to one. Trocheck did not record a shot on goal Saturday, but he did have a whopping 10 hits and a plus-1 rating in 23:59 of ice time, the most of any Rangers forward. The 30-year-old center had a fantastic postseason, finishing with eight goals and 20 points in 16 appearances. Trocheck doubled up on his previous career high in the playoffs -- he recorded 10 points during the 2021-22 season with Carolina. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:31 pm
       
    • Assists on opening goal
      Rodrigues registered a primary helper in Saturday's 2-1 series-clinching win over the Rangers in Game 6.

      Advice: Rodrigues was back on the board in Saturday's win after being held off the scoresheet since Game 3. He added three shots on net in 15:14 of ice time. Rodrigues isn't relied upon much for offensive production, but he's currently slotted on Florida's second line with Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett. Rodrigues is up to three goals and five assists with an even plus-minus rating in 17 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:08 pm
