    Willman signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Tuesday.

    Advice: Willman played 18 games with the Devils this season, recording three goals and one assist. The 29-year-old also played 33 games in the AHL this year, logging 12 goals and 10 assists.

  • Registers helper
    Frederic recorded an assist, six hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Frederic helped out on Brandon Carlo's goal late in the second period. The 26-year-old Frederic is up to four points through eight playoff contests, solid work for a player in a third-line role with virtually no power-play time. He's added 34 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-7 rating. Frederic can offer solid play as a checking forward, but consistent offense is likely too much to ask of him. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Nets equalizer Monday
    Geekie scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Sergei Bobrovsky poked the puck away on an initial attempt, but Geekie was able to rip home the game-tying goal just 1:07 after Matthew Tkachuk's opening tally. The goal was Geekie's second in his last three games, and the 25-year-old forward has four points through eight playoff contests. He's added 12 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-3 rating while skating in a top-six role during the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:01 pm

  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Howden scored a goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

    Advice: Howden tied the game at 1-1 with a goal late in the second period. The 26-year-old played in all seven of the Golden Knights' postseason contests, earning two points, seven shots on net, 23 hits and five blocked shots from a bottom-six role. He remains under contract for 2024-25 after posting 19 points in 72 regular-season outings during 2023-24. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:38 pm
     
  • Supplies assist
    Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Smith set up Radek Faksa's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. After being a scratch for the first two contests of the playoffs, Smith contributed two helpers, 10 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating over the last five games of the first round. The 34-year-old winger should continue to play in a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:33 pm
     
  • Returns with series-clinching goal
    Faksa scored a goal and added four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Faksa missed three games due to an undisclosed injury and was deemed a healthy scratch for Friday's Game 6. The 30-year-old then drew back in Sunday and came up clutch with the game-winning goal just 44 seconds into the third period. It was his first point in nine games. Faksa plays in mainly a fourth-line role, but he's had no fewer than 19 points in any of his full-length NHL campaigns, so he can provide some supplementary offense. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:28 pm
