Dan Carcillo
  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Carcillo has played in the last three Blackhawks' playoff games heading into Saturday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Red Wings, ESPN Chicago reports.
      Recommendation: Carcillo had been in and out of the lineup during the 2013 regular season either because of injuries or as a healthy scratch. He helped his cause to stay in the lineup by collecting an assist on Wednesday in the Game 1 victory over the Red Wings. The more physical team that Chicago faces the more likely that Carcillo will find a spot on the ice.

Eric Staal
  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Staal (third-degree MCL sprain) faces a three-month recovery time but will not need surgery, Tampa Tribune writer Erik Erlendsson reports
      Recommendation: It's a significant injury, but the offseason should be enough time for Staal to be ready for the 2013-2014 season, which would have been in jeopardy had he suffered a tear. The news is good, in other words.

Jason Spezza
  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Spezza (back) will make his return in Sunday's Game 3 against Pittsburgh.
      Recommendation: What merely seemed probable earlier Saturday appears set in stone now. Spezza will play Sunday, giving Ottawa a glimmer of hope despite their two-game deficit to Pittsburgh.

Alexander Edler
  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Edler has been suspended for the remainder of the IIHF World Championships for his knee-to-knee hit on Eric Staal, the Vancouver Province reports.
      Recommendation: Sweden will have to play without Edler in Saturday's semifinal match against Finland and the following medal game.

Viktor Stalberg
  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Stalberg will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's Game 2 against Detroit, NHL.com's Brian Hedger reports.
      Recommendation: Stalberg has no known injury issues, so his benching appears to be due to slumping performance and perhaps tensions with the Chicago coaching staff over his playing time.

Robin Lehner
  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Lehner came on in relief during the second period of Friday's Game 2 loss to the Penguins.
      Recommendation: Starter Craig Anderson allowed three goals on 21 shots before being yanked in favor of Lehner, who allowed one goal on 21 shots. There's no word yet on who will start Game 3 on Sunday, as the Sens may be looking for a spark with their backs against the wall in the series.

  • Sat, May 18Recent News
    • Bertuzzi will not play in Game 2 against Chicago on Saturday, Detroit News writer John Niyo reports.
      Recommendation: Bertuzzi lands on the bench due to the return of Drew Miller, who had been sitting due to a hand injury.

Brad Stuart
  • Fri, May 17
    • Stuart had a goal and an assist, with a plus-2 rating, in the Sharks loss Thursday.
      Recommendation: Stuart isn't known for putting points on the board, only tallying six points in 48 games during the regular season, but he played a big role for the Sharks on Thursday.

Mike Richards
  • Fri, May 17
    • Richards picked up his seventh assist of the playoffs in a Game 2 win over the Sharks on Thursday.

Brad Marchand
  • Fri, May 17
    • Marchand notched the game-winner in overtime, while adding an assist in 22:17 of ice time in Thursday's Game 1 of the Bruins' second-round series against the Rangers.
      Recommendation: Marchand left Thursday's morning skate in some pain due to an undisclosed injury, but not only did he suit up that evening, he turned in arguably his best effort in the postseason to date.

Michal Handzus
  • Fri, May 17
    • Handzus missed practice Friday, but Coach Joel Quenneville said he is "fine,"
      Recommendation: Handzus has not practiced consistently with the team lately, and the 36-year-old is likely sitting out to preserve his energy for Saturday's Game 2.

Guillaume Latendresse
  • Fri, May 17
    • Latendresse will return to the lineup for Friday's Game 2 against the Penguins, TSN's Brent Wallace reports.
      Recommendation: Latendresse, who hasn't played since May 3, will replace Matt Kassian in the lineup Friday. Latendresse recorded six goals in 27 games this season.

Scott Gomez
  • Fri, May 17
    • Gomez had two assists and a plus-2 rating in the San Jose loss to Los Angeles on Thursday.
      Recommendation: Those two assists are Gomez's first points of the postseason. With Raffi Torres, Martin Havlat, and Adam Burish out, Gomez will need to take on a bigger role in the Sharks' offense this series. He has the potential to do so with 101 points in 144 career playoff games.

Eric Boulton
  • Fri, May 17
    • Boulton signed a one-year contract with the Islanders, according to the Islanders web site.
      Recommendation: Boulton is on the team for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to add some toughness to an otherwise soft lineup.

Tomas Vokoun
  • Fri, May 17
    • Vokoun will start in net for Friday's Game 2 against the Senators, TSN's Brent Wallace reports.
      Recommendation: Vokoun got the win and recorded 35 saves in Game 1 of the second round, but his performance had it's rough spots. Vokoun will be on a short leash going forward, as coach Dan Bylsma could turn to Marc-Andre Fleury at any point.

Andre Benoit
  • Fri, May 17
    • Benoit will be in the lineup for Friday's Game 2 against the Penguins, TSN's Brent Wallace reports.
      Recommendation: Benoit will fill in for Eric Gryba, who is out Friday with an upper-body injury. Benoit has 10 points in 33 games this season.

Martin Havlat
  • Fri, May 17
    • Havlat (groin) could possibly be available for Saturday's Game 3, CSN Bay Area reports.
      Recommendation: Havlat has been increasing the intensity of his skate sessions and appears to be creeping closer to full health. With Adam Burish (broken hand) and Raffi Torres (suspension) out for the rest of the series, Havlat's return would be a welcome one for the club's forward ranks.

Jeff Carter
  • Fri, May 17
    • Carter notched his fourth goal of the playoffs and added an assist in a 4-3 win Thursday.
      Recommendation: Carter is certainly rewarding those who bet on his scoring success from the regular season carrying over into the playoffs.

Drew Miller
  • Fri, May 17
    • Miller (hand) could rejoin the lineup for Saturday's Game 2, the Detroit Free Press reports.
      Recommendation: Miller's four-week recovery timetable for his thumb injury has now ended, and although he expressed the injured digit wasn't quite 100 percent, he believes he can play through any minor pain that might exist. Miller's return would add some speed to the lineup and aid the team's penalty kill.

Tuukka Rask
  • Fri, May 17
    • Rask stopped 33-of-35 shots in Thursday's overtime win over the Rangers in Game 1 of the Bruins' second-round playoff series.
      Recommendation: Look for Rask to see all the starts in goal for the Bruins as their playoff run continues. Next up for the team is Game 2, an afternoon tilt at home against the Rangers on Sunday.

Patrick Marleau
  • Fri, May 17
    • Marleau scored and played a huge 21:18 for the Sharks on Thursday.
      Recommendation: Marleau is at six points in six games. Though it took over four periods to get a goal, the Sharks seem to have found a way to get pucks past Kings netminder Jonathan Quick and that bodes well for Marleau as the Sharks head to San Jose for the next two games.

Craig Anderson
  • Fri, May 17
    • Anderson is in the net for Friday's Game 2 against the Penguins, CBC Sports reports.
      Recommendation: Anderson had a rough showing in Game 1, allowing four goals on 30 shots, but his sterling regular season numbers should make him a fixture in goal the rest of the way.

Antti Niemi
  • Fri, May 17
    • Niemi let in four goals on 31 shots Thursday in Los Angeles, posting a .871 save percentage, his worst of the postseason.
      Recommendation: Niemi let in the first shot of the night, but rebounded well until he let two past in 22 seconds during the closing minutes of the game. A return to San Jose for the next two games could help the Vezina-finalist.

Duncan Keith
  • Fri, May 17
    • Keith team's official Twitter account missed practice Friday but Coach Joel Quenneville said he is "fine" and is expected to play Saturday.
      Recommendation: Keith, along with Michal Handzus, are simply sitting out to rest in preparation for Saturday's Game 2.
