    • Takes another loss
      Swayman stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.

      Advice: Swayman has lost back-to-back games, but he still hasn't given up more than two goals in any of his five first-round starts. William Nylander had both tallies Thursday, scoring in the final minute of the second period on a deflected shot and adding another goal late in the third. With the Bruins facing Game 7, it's unclear if head coach Jim Montgomery will stick with Swayman or switch to Linus Ullmark on Saturday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Garners two helpers Wednesday
      Nugent-Hopkins earned a pair of assists in a 4-3 victory over the Kings in Game 5 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Nugent-Hopkins has managed just two shots over his last four games, failing to find the back of the net along the way, but he's chipped in five helpers over that stretch. In fact, dating back to the regular season, the veteran center has scored only one goal in his previous 10 appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:31 am
       
    • Set to start Thursday
      Swayman is slated to tend the twine on the road in Game 6 against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Swayman has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage while going 3-2-0. After the Game 5 loss Tuesday, there was certainly a chance the Bruins would turn back to Linus Ullmark, however, they will continue to ride Swayman into Game 6.

    • Three helpers in Game 5
      Bouchard grabbed three assists in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 win over the Kings.

      Advice: Bouchard set up all three of Edmonton's second-period goals, including a Leon Draisaitl marker on the power-play, in the 4-3 series-clinching victory. The 24-year-old Bouchard has nine points (one goal, eight assists) through five games in the playoffs, tying Cale Makar for most among defensemen. Bouchard had a breakout regular season, tallying 18 goals and 82 points, both career highs, across 81 games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:28 am
       
    • Falls to Leafs in OT
      Swayman stopped 31 shots Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 5 of the Bruins' first-round series.

      Advice: Making his third straight start for Boston, Swayman played well but didn't get a lot of help from his teammates at either end of the ice. The 25-year-old netminder has a stellar 1.49 GAA and .952 save percentage in his four playoff starts so far, but it's not clear if coach Jim Montgomery will turn back to Linus Ullmark for Game 6 on Thursday.

    • Starting Game 5
      Swayman will protect the home net Tuesday in Game 5 against Toronto, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

      Advice: Swayman is coming off a 24-save effort in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4. He has posted a 3-0 record this postseason, stopping 87 of 91 shots during that span. The Bruins can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Tuesday's matchup. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:35 pm
       
    • Snags helper in loss
      Hagel recorded an assist, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

      Advice: Hagel posted three goals, two assists, eight shots on net and 13 hits over five playoff appearances. The winger solidified his status as a top-six winger for the Lightning in 2023-24, earning 26 goals, 75 points, 184 shots on net and 79 PIM over 82 regular-season appearances. He earned an eight-year contract extension last summer, which will begin in 2024-25, so Hagel should be a key piece for the Lightning's offense for years to come. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:48 pm
       
    • Stuck with loss in Game 5
      Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 37 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5. The last two goals were empty-netters.

      Advice: Vasilevskiy couldn't hold back the relentless Panthers offense, taking his fourth loss in five playoff games. The 29-year-old gave up 16 goals on 156 shots, good for an .897 save percentage, during the postseason. Vasilevskiy remains entrenched as the Lightning's No. 1 goalie heading in 2024-25, though he'll be looking to rebound from the statistically worst season of his career -- he had a 30-20-2 record, a 2.90 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 52 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

    • Two more assists Monday
      Tkachuk registered two assists and six shots on goal in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

      Advice: Tkachuk helped out on third-period goals by Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe. This was Tkachuk's fourth multi-point effort in five playoff games -- he has accumulated three goals and six assists in the postseason. The winger should continue to see heavy usage in a top-six role while providing solid offense and physical play. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:11 pm
