  • Adds insurance marker
    Colton scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Colton is riding a five-game point streak with two goals and three assists in that span. He has a goal and two helpers during the playoffs, and he's added seven shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating over those three contests. He remains in a third-line role, but he poses a threat as a depth scorer when the Avalanche's offense is humming as it has been in this series (17 goals over three games).

  • One of each in win
    MacKinnon scored a on goal eight shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Both of MacKinnon's points Friday were on the power play, and he's now at five points (three with the man advantage) through three playoff contests. The superstar center has added 14 shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. MacKinnon's career year didn't stop at the end of the regular season, and he should continue to be one of the top scoring threats in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
     
  • Up from AHL
    Suzuki was recalled from AHL Springfield on Friday.

    Advice: Suzuki has 14 goals and 30 points in 51 outings with Springfield in 2023-24. Although he'll join the Hurricanes for the time being, the 22-year-old is not expected to play for Carolina during the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:07 pm
     
  • Labeled day-to-day
    Faksa (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's Game 3 clash with Vegas, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Advice: Faksa has gone pointless in eight straight games, including the Stars' two postseason clashes against the Golden Knights. Ty Dellandrea could see his first ice time since April 6 against Chicago on Saturday if Faksa is officially ruled out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 am
     
  • Returns to NHL
    Bourque was called up from AHL Texas on Friday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Advice: The Stars had a pair of injuries Wednesday in Game 2 against the Golden Knights, as Mason Marchment and Radek Faksa each suffered undisclosed injuries. The Stars are down to 12 healthy forwards ahead of Game 3 versus Vegas on Saturday, necessitating the recall of Bourque. Bourque made his NHL debut April 6 in Chicago, managing two shots on goal in 10:56 of ice time. He led the AHL in scoring during the regular season with 77 points and is tied for the early lead in AHL playoff scoring with two goals and two assists in a pair of games.

  • Ready to rock
    Wennberg (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Game 3 versus Washington on Friday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

    Advice: Wennberg took a maintenance day Thursday, but he was back on the ice for morning skate Friday. The 29--year-old will center the third line between Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko while seeing second-unit power-play time in Game 3. Wennberg had only one goal and four assists in 19 games with the Rangers following his trade from Seattle on March 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 am
     
  • Status uncertain
    Wennberg is questionable to face the Capitals for Game 3 on Friday with an undisclosed injury, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Wennerg's absence from Thursday's practice was deemed maintenance and he was on the ice for an optional game-day skate Friday, so coach Peter Laviolette may just be playing it coy about Wennberg's availability. Still, it's a situation that fantasy players will have to monitor prior to puck drop. If Wennberg can't go Friday, Jonny Brodzinski figures to have the inside track for a spot in the lineup.

  • Goal streak at three games
    Stamkos scored a goal on two shots and added six hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating Thursday in a 5-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3 of the Lightning's first-round series.

    Advice: The 34-year-old has done his best to keep Tampa Bay afloat, finding the back of the net in three straight games to begin the playoffs, but his team still faces the prospect of getting swept after losing all three contests. Stamkos also has a couple career milestones in his sights -- he needs two more playoff goals for 50 in his caree, and one more playoff point for 100. He might need to reach both marks Saturday in Game 4 in order for the Lightning to stay alive. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:04 am
     
  • Two points including Game 3 winner
    Lorentz scored the game-winning goal and added an assist Thursday in a 5-3 victory over the Lightning in Game 3 of the Panthers' first-round series.

    Advice: The 28-year-old fourth-liner went the entire regular season without producing a multi-point performance, but Lorentz came up big when it counted, flipping home a loose puck from the low slot midway through the third period to give Florida a 4-2 lead. He was a healthy scratch for Game 1 and has seen a total of just 11:56 in ice time during the last two contests, so a repeat of Thursday's heroics seems highly unlikely as the Panthers move forward in the playoffs.
