    • Skating Saturday
      Matthews (illness) skated at practice though his status remains unclear for Saturday's Game 7 against the Bruins, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: It's the first time Matthews has practiced since he left Game 4 with an illness-- he'd then miss the next two games in the series. Getting Matthews back would obviously be a massive boost for the Leafs in Game 7, though it appears he'll remain a game-time decision for now. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Strong in loss
      Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. The second goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Oettinger was sharp and occasionally spectacular in this contest, but his teammates couldn't solve Adin Hill at the other end of the ice. Oettinger gave up four goals in Game 1, but he's surrendered just nine tallies over the last five contests to give the Stars a solid chance against the defending champions. The 25-year-old is a near guarantee to start in Sunday's Game 7 at home, but he'll undoubtedly need more goal support in order for the Stars to keep their playoff run alive.

    • Snags assist Friday
      Pettersson logged an assist in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.

      Advice: Pettersson failed to score a goal in the first round, and he's now gone nine contests without a tally. He showed some life with an assist in three of the last four games, but the Canucks will hope for a lot more from one of their top players entering a more difficult second-round matchup with the Oilers. In addition to the three assists, Pettersson had eight shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over six appearances in the first round.

    • Comes up short in Game 6
      Saros stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Canucks in Game 6.

      Advice: Saros was excellent, going save for save with Arturs Silovs for nearly the whole game. Pius Suter had the breakthrough for the Canucks with 1:39 left in the third period, and that goal was the one to end the Predators' season. Despite a 2-4 record in the playoffs, Saros allowed just 12 goals on 120 shots over six contests, with Friday marking the first time he'd faced more than 21 shots in a game all series. The Finnish goalie is under contract for one more season at a $5 million cap hit, so it's possible his name could swirl in trade rumors if the Predators opt to shake things up.

    • Starting Game 6
      Oettinger will get the starting nod for Game 6 in Vegas on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Oettinger has been dominant over the last three games, leading the Stars from a 2-0 deficit to a 3-2 lead in the series. Over that span, he's coughed up just six goals on 95 shots. Through five appearances this series, Oetinger has posted a .911 save percentage and a 2.31 GAA. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:41 pm
       
    • Tending twine Friday
      Saros will face the Canucks at home for Game 6 on Friday.

      Advice: Saros turned away 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 Game 5 win to force Game 6. Through five games this series, he's allowed only 11 goals but it's come with a lackluster .879 save percentage. To avoid elimination, Saros will need to earn consecutive wins for the first time since April 4 and 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:36 pm
       
    • Remains in doubt for Game 7
      Matthews (illness) skated Friday but is still questionable heading into Game 7 against the Bruins on Saturday. Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "There's been progress...but no determination on his availability," per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

      Advice: Matthews' availability almost certainly won't be confirmed until closer to puck drop Saturday, so fantasy players will likely have to take a wait-and-see approach. Despite not having the world-class center in the lineup, Toronto has managed to win back-to-back games to force a Game 7. If cleared to play, Matthews figures to unseat Max Domi on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 am
       
    • Not playing Thursday
      Matthews (illness) has been ruled out of the lineup for Thursda's Game 6 versus Boston, per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun.

      Advice: Matthews was on the ice Thursday for 30 minutes before the morning skate, but he did not participate during regular practice. The superstar center was pulled from action between the second and third periods in Game 4 on Saturday, and he was unable to play in Game 5 on Tuesday. Matthews had a goal and two assists in Game 2, but he has not had a point in any of the three other games in the series. The hope is he will be good to go for Game 7 if Toronto can extend the series with a win Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:52 am
       
    • Sharp in Game 5 win
      Oettinger stopped 25 shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stars' first-round series.

      Advice: Both goals he allowed came in the first period, and Oettinger slammed the door shut over the final 40 minutes to give Dallas its third straight victory. The 25-year-old netminder has a 2.31 GAA and .911 save percentage in his five starts this postseason, and he's given up exactly two goals in four straight outings. Oettinger will look to finish the job back in Vegas on Friday in Game 6. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:53 am
