    • Exits ice first Wednesday
      Hill was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday and is expected to get the starting nod on the road against the Stars in Game 5 on Wednesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

      Advice: Hill will step into the crease for the first time in the postseason after Logan Thompson gave up six goals on 77 shots (.922 save percentage) in a pair of defeats to Dallas. The 27-year-old Hill has played in only three of the Knights' last 16 contests in which he registered a 1-2-0 record and 3.68 GAA. If Hill can earn the crucial Game 5 victory, he should remain in the crease for Game 6 on Friday as well. Rotowire.com Today, 9:09 am
       
    • Produces pair of helpers
      Toews notched two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Toews set up goals by Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen in this contest. The 30-year-old Toews ends the first round with five points, five shots on net, 11 hits, six blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over five appearances. He continues to play in a top-pairing role, and he shares enough ice time with the Avalanche's best players to put him in a good position to pick up fairly steady point production along the way.

    • Tallies in Tuesday's win
      Nichushkin scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Nichushkin was locked in during the first round, scoring seven times on 17 shots over five contests. He's picked up nine goals across six appearances dating back to the regular-season finale. Nichushkin should remain in a position to put up goals if he sticks on the top line heading into the second round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 pm
       
    • Secures series win
      Georgiev stopped 33 of 36 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Georgiev allowed seven goals in a Game 1 loss, then gave up a total of eight goals over the next four contests to guide the Avalanche to the 4-1 series win. Any questions about his ability to step up in the playoffs have been put to rest now. Georgiev will remain the starter heading into the second round, and he'll get some extra rest while the Avalanche await the winner of the Stars-Golden Knights series.

    • In goal for Game 5
      Georgiev will guard the road goal in Game 5 versus the Jets on Tuesday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Georgiev has bounced back after losing Game 1, winning three straight contests to put the Avalanche on the brink of securing the first-round series. He's allowed just five goals on 81 shots during those three straight victories. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 pm
       
    • Gathers helper in loss
      Marchessault notched an assist, seven shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Marchessault helped out on a Jack Eichel tally in the second period. Through four playoff outings, Marchessault has two goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-3 rating. The reigning Conn Smythe winner continues to occupy a significant role in the Golden Knights' top six, and he's been delivering with steady offense and energy. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:00 pm
       
    • Provides relief appearance
      Brossoit was thrust into duty Sunday when starter Connor Hellebuyck was pulled at the end of the second period. He made four saves in relief as the Jets fell 5-1 to the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Hellebuyck was pulled in the second period after allowing four goals, so Brossoit took over between the pipes and turned aside all four shots sent his way. The Avalanche added an empty-netter with only 13 seconds left in the game. This was Brossoit's first appearance in the playoffs. Look for Winnipeg to return to Hellebuyck when the Jets host Colorado in Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:58 pm
       
    • Scores hat trick
      Nichushkin scored three goals on five shots in Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 win over the Jets.

      Advice: Nichushkin deposited two power-play goals in the second period to give the Avalanche a 4-1 lead going into the third period. He added an empty-net goal late in the third frame for the hat trick, and Sunday's trio of tallies brings Nichushkin up to six goals in the playoffs. The 29-year-old winger added two hits, three blocked shots, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 22:28 of ice time. Including the regular season, Nichushkin is on a six-game point streak, scoring eight goals and one assist over that span. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:33 pm
       
    • Third straight win
      Georgiev allowed one goal on 27 shots in Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 win over the Jets.

      Advice: Georgiev allowed a first-period goal on the fifth shot of the game but then kicked aside the next 22 shots to keep the Jets off the scoreboard. After a poor performance in Game 1, Georgiev has allowed only five goals on 77 shots for a .935 save percentage in the last three games. The Avalanche lead the series 3-1 and would move on to the second round with a Game 5 win Tuesday, when the series shifts back to Winnipeg. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:10 pm
