  • Tallies twice in Game 3
    Stankoven scored a pair of goals, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Predictably, adjusting to the playoffs has been tougher for the 21-year-old rookie than it was when he came up for the last quarter of the regular season. Stankoven is up to four points, 22 shots on net, 15 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 10 playoff contests. He's seen some even-strength time on the first line, but his usage overall is more limited than that role would suggest, as head coach Pete DeBoer is likely trying to shelter Stankoven, especially on the road.

  • Scores twice in win
    Seguin scored two goals on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Seguin buried the go-ahead goal at 15:13 of the second period and added an empty-netter in the third. The 32-year-old went without a goal in the first eight games of the playoffs, but he's now scored three times over the last two contests. He's at six points, 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-6 rating through 10 postseason outings. Seguin was bothered by a lower-body injury late in the season, but his recent offensive success suggests that he has put that issue behind him. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:04 pm
     
  • Offers helper Saturday
    Kakko logged an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

    Advice: Kakko set up a Will Cuylle tally in the first period. Through eight playoff outings, Kakko has two points, 12 shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating. The winger had just 19 points over 61 regular-season games, and his lack of steady offense is a large reason why he's been limited to a bottom-six role in the postseason.

  • Collects helper
    Vesey notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

    Advice: The 30-year-old winger hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since the first game of the first round versus the Capitals. Vesey is up to three points, seven shots on net, eight hits and six blocked shots over eight playoff contests. He's still in a fourth-line role, so he's unlikely to be a steady contributor on offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 pm
     
  • Deposits goal in Game 4 loss
    Cuylle scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

    Advice: Cuylle snapped a 12-game point drought with his first-period tally, which was also his first career playoff point. The 22-year-old was a key part of the Rangers' depth in the regular season with 21 points, 119 shots on net and 249 hits, but he's been less effective despite a similar role in the postseason. The rookie winger has added 12 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-2 rating through eight playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:29 pm
     
  • Banks in goal
    Lafreniere scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

    Advice: Lafreniere has scored in three straight contests, and he's earned four goals and three assists during a five-game point streak. His tally Saturday tied the game at 3-3 early in the third period with a backhand shot that banked in off Frederik Andersen. Lafreniere is up to 10 points, 22 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-1 rating through eight playoff outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
     
  • Slings helper in win
    Svechnikov registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Svechnikov is heating up with four points over his last three contests. He helped out on Brady Skjei's game-winning goal late in the third period Saturday. Svechnikov is up to nine points (two on the power play), 27 shots on net, 23 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating over nine playoff appearances. His best chance to contribute offense will be if he continues to play alongside Sebastian Aho and Jake Guentzel on the first line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:45 pm
     
  • Contributes helper in win
    Guentzel provided an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Guentzel has a point in all four games versus the Rangers, and he's been held off the scoresheet just twice in nine contests in the playoffs. The winger is up to four goals, five assists, 25 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating. Guentzel's top-line assignment and significant power-play role will make him a key player as the Hurricanes look to bounce back from their 3-1 series deficit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:38 pm
     
  • Dishes pair of helpers
    Teravainen recorded two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Teravainen set up a Stefan Noesen goal in the first period as well as Brady Skjei's power-play game-winner in the third. The 29-year-old Teravainen had been held off the scoresheet in the first three contests of the second round. The winger is up to six points, 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through nine playoff outings. He's been limited to middle-six minutes at even strength, but Teravainen is on the first power-play unit and has accumulated three points with the man advantage in the postseason.
