    • Inks overseas deal
      Henriksson agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Swedish club Vaxjo Lakers on Thursday.

      Advice: Henriksson will be a restricted free agent for the Rangers this offseason, so the team could retain his NHL rights by giving him a qualifying offer. Having said that, the fact that Henriksson signed a three-year deal with a Swedish team suggests he won't be making a return to North America any time soon, so the Rangers could simply decide to let him walk. In the minors this year, the 23-year-old center generated 11 goals and 12 assists in 64 games -- that's not the type of productivity New York was hoping for when they selected him in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft.

    • Pockets helper in loss
      Henrique registered an assist and five hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: Henrique has struggled to make an impact this postseason, earning five points, eight shots on net, 43 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 13 contests. He missed time with an ankle injury and has often been stuck on the third line when healthy. Given the Oilers have lost three straight games, he could get moved into a top-six role for Game 4 on Saturday, but he's unlikely to see enough ice time to make him an intriguing option for DFS.

    • Finds twine in loss
      McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: McLeod has two goals over his last six contests, but that represents all of his offense this postseason. The 24-year-old was shuffled onto the second line with Evander Kane (hip) unavailable for Thursday's contest, though McLeod still saw just 9:53 of ice time. In addition to his two points, he's added 21 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-6 rating through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:49 pm
       
    • Manages helper in win
      Luostarinen recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Luostarinen has continued to make an impact from the third line with four points over his last five games. His offense has been streaky in the playoffs, but his place in the lineup has never been in doubt. The 25-year-old forward is up to eight points, 24 shots on net, 55 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:36 pm
       
    • Deals assist in Game 3
      Lundell posted an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Lundell has a goal and four helpers over his last five games. The 22-year-old continues to provide steady two-way play from the third line as one of the Panthers' reliable depth forwards. He's at three goals, 12 assists, 23 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-9 rating through 20 playoff games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:34 pm
       
    • Chips in with assist
      Rodrigues recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Rodrigues has three goals and two assists during his active four-game point streak. The 30-year-old continues to see even-strength usage on the top line, which has helped him click on offense at just the right time for the Panthers. He's up to 12 points, 37 shots, 49 hits and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:33 pm
       
    • Tallies in win
      Bennett scored a goal on two shots, doled out three hits, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Bennett has four goals and three assists during his six-game point streak. The 27-year-old center hadn't taken a minus rating in any of the previous five games, though he was caught on the ice a few times as the Oilers attempted a comeback in the third period of this one. Bennett has done well in a second-line role this postseason with 13 points, 32 shots on net, 73 hits and a plus-3 rating over 15 appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:14 pm
       
    • Two points in Thursday's win
      Barkov scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Barkov was initially questionable after suffering an upper-body injury in Game 2 on Monday, but he was ultimately able to avoid missing time. That proved to be a great thing for the Panthers, as Barkov helped out on Sam Reinhart's first-period tally and scored the game-winner himself in the second. Barkov is up to seven goals, 21 points, 50 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:10 pm
       
    • Recovering from sports hernia
      Couturier said he's recovering from a "little sports hernia surgery, lower abs," Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Thursday.

      Advice: Couturier was limited to a goal and eight points over his final 33 contests in 2023-24 after supplying 10 goals and 30 points across his first 41 appearances. Although it's not clear how long he was dealing with a sports hernia, the injury might help explain his steep decline in offensive production in the second half of the campaign. The 31-year-old will look to rebound next season, but injuries have been a recurring problem -- he missed the entire 2022-23 campaign due to injury and was limited to 29 games in 2021-22.
