  • Remains out Friday
    Heinen (undisclosed) continues to be day-to-day and won't be available for Game 3 versus Florida on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Heinen will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old winger was stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper and a mere six shots. Once Heinen is given the all-clear, he should be in the mix to reclaim a spot on the third line, potentially knocking Justin Brazeau out of the lineup. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:21 am
     
  • Scores again Thursday
    Guentzel scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Guentzel opened the scoring midway through the third period, deflecting a feed from Dmitry Orlov past Igor Shesterkin to give Carolina an early 1-0 lead. While the Canes find themselves down 3-0 in the series, Guentzel has done his part, recording three goals and four points in the three contests. The 29-year-old winger has four goals and eight points in eight games so far in the postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:35 am
     
  • Forces OT with late goal
    Svechnikov logged a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Svechnikov picked up an assist on Jake Guentzel's opening goal midway through the first period before tying the game 2-2 late in the third with Carolina's net empty, snapping a rebound past Igor Shesterkin. It's the second goal and eighth point for Svechnikov through eight postseason contests. He had 52 points (19 goals, 33 assists) in 59 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:26 am
     
  • Two more points Thursday
    Lafreniere tallied a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Carolina.

    Advice: Lafreniere put New York ahead 2-1 early in the first period, beating Pyotr Kochetkov with a wrister from the slot, before adding an assist on Artemi Panarin's overtime winner. Lafreniere now has three goals and four points over his last two contests. The 22-year-old winger has had a strong postseason overall, recording points in six of his seven games, totaling three goals and six assists. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:22 am
     
  • Pockets power-play assist
    Benn logged a power-play assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Benn has three points over the first two games of the second round, matching his total from the entire seven-game first-round series versus Vegas. The 34-year-old is contributing solid depth offense and aggressive physical play this postseason. He's at six points, 15 shots on net, 30 hits and a minus-1 rating over nine playoff appearances.

  • Helps out on power play
    Robertson recorded a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Robertson helped out on the first of Miro Heiskanen's two goals in the game. This was Robertson's second straight game with an assist, and he's up to seven points (four on the power play) through nine playoff contests. The first-line winger has added 18 shots on net, 17 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating during the postseason. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:10 pm
     
  • Remains day-to-day
    Henrique (lower body) is questionable for Game 2 against Vancouver on Friday, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic on Thursday.

    Advice: Henrique was described as "day-to-day" by coach Kris Knoblauch. The 34-year-old missed Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver due to the injury. He has a goal and two points in five playoff outings this year. Leon Draisaitl's (undisclosed) status for Friday's contest is also in question, so if Henrique is available, but Draisaitl isn't, then Henrique might slide into the second-line center slot. Connor Brown will likely play if at least one of those two players is out, but he will probably be a healthy scratch if Henrique and Draisaitl are both able to play.

  • Unavailable Wednesday
    Heinen (undisclosed) is expected to miss Game 2 against Florida on Wednesday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

    Advice: It will be the Bruins' fourth straight contest without Heinen. The 28-year-old had 17 goals and 36 points in 74 regular-season outings and has supplied one assist across five playoff contests this year. Heinen is likely to serve in a middle-six capacity once he's healthy. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:08 pm
     
  • Ready to rock for Game 1
    Pettersson (illness) will play Wednesday in Game 1 versus the Oilers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Pettersson should slot into his usual spots on the second line and first power-play unit Wednesday. The 25-year-old pivot was a bit pedestrian in the first round against the Predators, picking up just three helpers across six outings after racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season contests.
