  • Opens scoring in Game 6 win
    Holloway scored a goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Holloway snapped an eight-game point drought with the first-period tally. The 22-year-old has three goals, 12 shots on net, 31 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 postseason appearances. Holloway has logged over 11 minutes of ice time in five of six second-round contests -- while it's not a huge increase from his average of 9:23 over the five outings in the first round, it still shows he's gained some trust from head coach Kris Knoblauch.

  • Point streak at four games
    Kane scored a goal on four shots, added 10 PIM, logged seven hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Kane converted the Oilers' fifth goal after Leon Draisaitl won a faceoff back to him. During his four-game point streak, Kane has two goals, two assists, 15 hits and 16 PIM. The winger is at seven points, 28 shots, 41 hits, 31 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 11 playoff contests. He continues to play in a middle-six role, though he's looked a little sharper since Draisaitl moved back to the second line at even strength. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:25 pm
     
  • Scores 10th goal of postseason
    Hyman scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Hyman snapped a three-game slump with his second-period tally, which ended up being the game-winner. It was perhaps a short-term regression for the winger, who scored nine times over the first six contests this postseason before the skid. He's at 10 goals, two assists, 45 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-5 rating through 11 appearances in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:23 pm
     
  • Collects three points in Game 6
    Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal, dished two assists, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins earned his first multi-point effort in five outings. He assisted on goals by Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard in the second period before scoring one of his own in the third. Through 11 playoff contests, Nugent-Hopkins has three goals, 11 assists, 14 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating. He's played the last two games alongside Connor McDavid, which gives Nugent-Hopkins some significant DFS upside if he stays in that spot for Game 7 on Monday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:21 pm
     
  • Out Saturday
    Mikheyev (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday against Edmonton in Game 6, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

    Advice: Mikheyev also missed Thursday's 3-2 Game 5 victory over the Oilers. He has no points, a minus-4 rating, 11 shots, nine hits and three blocks in 10 playoff contests this year. Mikheyev's continued absence will likely result in Vasily Podkolzin remaining in the lineup for the second straight game. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:23 pm
     
  • Recalled from AHL
    Blumel was called up from AHL Texas on Saturday.

    Advice: Blumel was recalled Feb. 18 but was a healthy scratch before returning to the minors the following day. The 23-year-old winger had a big 2023-24 season in the AHL with 31 goals and 31 assists in 72 contests, finishing fifth overall in goals and tying for 10th in points.

  • Adds power-play helper
    Drouin logged a power-play assist in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Drouin had a helper in all three of his playoff appearances, including two on the power play. The 29-year-old missed the first eight contests of the postseason due to a lower-body injury, but that was his only extended absence of the campaign. Drouin had a career-high 56 points in 79 regular-season outings while playing on a one-year, $825,000 contract. It's safe to assume his next deal will be at a higher cap hit, though it's unclear if the Avalanche will have the space to bring him back in 2024-25. If not, he should have a significant audience in free agency. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:51 pm
     
  • Nets power-play goal in loss
    Rantanen scored a power-play goal on five shots, added two hits and went minus-2 in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Rantanen opened the scoring in the second period, but Jake Oettinger slammed the door for the rest of the game. With four goals and 10 assists over 11 playoff outings, Rantanen was his usual productive self in the postseason, but the Avalanche will go no further. The 27-year-old has earned back-to-back 100-point campaigns and could take his offense even higher in 2024-25, which is his contract year. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:42 pm
     
  • Collects assist in Game 6
    Dadonov notched an assist, two shots on goal and four blocked shots in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 6.

    Advice: Dadonov has turned up the offense with three points and eight shots on net over his last four outings. The winger set up Jamie Benn's game-tying goal early in the third period. Dadonov is up to six points, 16 shots, 14 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances. Heading into the Western Conference Finals, the 35-year-old should be expected to remain in a third-line role. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:36 pm
