  • Hands out helper
    Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:57 pm
     
  • Joins big club
    Brown was recalled from AHL Providence on Sunday.

    Advice: Brown hasn't dressed in an NHL game since Jan. 27. He tallied 11 goals and 32 points in 42 games with AHL Providence. The 31-year-old will provide some extra depth in Boston as the team begins its series against the Panthers on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:50 pm
     
  • Two power-play points Sunday
    Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Both of Trocheck's points came on the power play as the Rangers opened a 3-1 lead in the first period. The 30-year-old center has found his game in the postseason with four goals and four assists over five outings. Trocheck continues to play on the second line at even strength, and he's also on the top power-play unit, where he's earned five of his eight points during the playoffs.

  • Starring role in Game 1 win
    Zibanejad scored twice, added an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Zibanejad scored the Rangers' first two goals and added an assist on a Vincent Trocheck tally. All three of Zibanejad's points came in the first period, and two of them were on the power play. He's racked up four straight multi-point efforts and his point streak is at 11 games (five goals, 13 helpers) dating back to April 5. The 31-year-old center plays in all situations for the Rangers, and that's unlikely to change in this second-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm
     
  • Suiting up for Team Canada
    Fantilli (calf) will suit up in Team Canada's pre-tournament opener of the 2024 IIHF World Championship on Sunday.

    Advice: Fantilli missed the final 33 games of the regular season after suffering a lacerated calf on Jan. 28. Now healthy, the 19-year-old center will look to contribute to Team Canada's run in the IIHF World Championship before preparing for the 2024-25 season. Fantilli finished his rookie campaign with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 am
     
  • Out Monday
    Bennett (upper body) won't play Monday in Game 1 versus the Bruins, though he's labeled as day-to-day, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Advice: Bennett missed the final three games of Florida's opening-round series against the Lightning. While he'll miss the opening game of the second round, coach Paul Maurice said Bennett was "better than I hoped" following Sunday's morning skate. Bennett has a goal and an assist so far in the playoffs after tallying 20 goals and 41 points in the regular season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:17 am
     
  • Gets on scoresheet Friday
    Karlsson registered an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: After a 60-point regular season, Karlsson was silenced for the first five games of the first round. He broke the slump by setting up Mark Stone's empty-netter Friday, though that's hardly a sign of good things to come for Karlsson. The veteran center is stuck in a third-line role, and his defensive skills are strong enough to prevent him from getting more favorable matchups. Karlsson has added nine shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating through six playoff outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:56 pm
     
  • Available against Knights
    Faksa (undisclosed) will be an option for Friday's Game 6 matchup with Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Even with Faksa cleared to play, he is far from a lock to take a spot in the lineup from Ty Dellandrea or Craig Smith. If the 30-year-old Faksa does suit up, he'll likely slide into a bottom-six role Friday. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:45 am
     
  • Bags two apples Wednesday
    Johnston earned a pair of assists in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Johnston has been fantastic in the postseason, racking up three goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in five contests. The 20-year-old center avoided the sophomore slump during the regular season, setting new personal bests in goals (32), assists (33) and shots (216). Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:34 am
