  • Summoned from AHL
    Holm was recalled from AHL Colorado on Friday.

    Advice: Justus Annunen was unavailable for the first two games in Winnipeg, due to an illness, and he is likely questionable for Friday's Game 3, making the recall of Holm necessary. Holm was 6-6-0 with a 2.97 GAA and an ,887 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances in 2023-24. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

  • Opens scoring in Game 3
    Burns scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders

    Advice: Burns opened the scoring 4:48 into the first period, firing a puck from the point that glanced off an Islanders' defender and past Ilya Sorokin. It's the first point of the postseason for Burns, whose last goal came on March 10. The 39-year-old blueliner had 10 goals and 33 points in 82 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
     
  • Scores in Game 3 loss
    Engvall scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Engvall got the Islanders on the board early in the second period, burying a net-front feed from Anders Lee to cut Carolina's lead to 2-1. It's Engvall's first goal and second point in the series. The 27-year-old winger had 10 goals and 28 points in 74 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Two more points Thursday
    Svechnikov recorded two assists in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

    Advice: Svechnikov set up Dmitry Orlov's goal midway through the first period before adding a second helper on Sebastian Aho's eventual game-winning tally in the second. It's Svechnikov's second straight two-assist game. The 24-year-old winger had 19 goals and 52 points in 59 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:08 am
     
  • Nets first of the playoffs
    Nelson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Nelson cut the Islanders' deficit to 3-2 with 2:21 remaining in the second period, burying a rebound past Frederik Andersen, though New York would ultimately come up a goal short in the Game 3 loss. It's the first goal and second point for Nelson in the postseason. The 32-year-old center tallied 34 goals and 69 points in 82 games this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:04 pm
     
  • Likely out for postseason
    Fast (upper body) is unlikely to recover before the end of the playoffs, coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Thursday.

    Advice: Fast was injured during the Hurricanes' regular-season finale April 16. He had six goals and 19 points in 73 contests in 2023-24. Fast is in the first campaign of a two-year, $4.8 million contract, so even if he does miss the remainder of the postseason, he likely hasn't played in his final contest with Carolina. The 32-year-old serves in a bottom-six capacity when healthy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:27 pm
     
  • Expected to play Thursday
    Martin (undisclosed) was in his usual spot during line rushes, indicating he'll play in Thursday's Game 3 versus the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Martin has played on the fourth line throughout the campaign, so his presence in the lineup isn't likely to make a big impact in fantasy. The 34-year-old has no points, 19 hits and 21 PIM over his last 10 outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:11 pm
     
  • Out Thursday
    Fleury (undisclosed) won't return for Game 3 on Thursday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Advice: Fleury hasn't been in the lineup since April 6 because of the injury. He has a goal and five points in 24 contests this season. Fleury might be deployed on the third pairing once he's recovered, but it's also possible Tampa Bay would make him a healthy scratch if he's able to return during the playoffs.
