  • Goal, assist in loss
    Rodrigues scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Rodrigues set up a Matthew Tkachuk tally and scored one of his own in the second period, but the Panthers weren't able to overcome their slow start in this game. With four goals and two helpers over five Stanley Cup Finals outings, Rodrigues has been a standout forward for Florida. He's at seven goals, seven helpers, 42 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-7 rating through 22 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:22 pm
     
  • Tallies on power play
    Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins is reliant on power-play production, so it's no surprise he's been less effective in the later rounds with the Oilers' power play struggling. He has three goals and two assists over his last 10 contests, and his tally Saturday snapped a four-game slump. Overall, the 31-year-old has put up 21 points, 31 shots, 41 hits and a minus-1 rating over 22 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:50 pm
     
  • Chips in with assist
    Rodrigues recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues has three goals and two assists during his active four-game point streak. The 30-year-old continues to see even-strength usage on the top line, which has helped him click on offense at just the right time for the Panthers. He's up to 12 points, 37 shots, 49 hits and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:33 pm
     
  • Provides helper Thursday
    Forsling notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Forsling had gone three games without a point before he got the primary assist on Sam Reinhart's first-period tally. While he's put up solid offense, Forsling's excellent defense has been his calling card in the playoffs. The 28-year-old blueliner is at 12 points, a plus-15 rating, 45 shots on net, 38 hits and 26 blocked shots through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:31 pm
     
  • Two points in Thursday's win
    Barkov scored a goal, dished an assist, added two hits, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Barkov was initially questionable after suffering an upper-body injury in Game 2 on Monday, but he was ultimately able to avoid missing time. That proved to be a great thing for the Panthers, as Barkov helped out on Sam Reinhart's first-period tally and scored the game-winner himself in the second. Barkov is up to seven goals, 21 points, 50 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:10 pm
     
  • Good to go for Game 3
    Barkov (upper body) will play in Thursday's Game 3 versus the Oilers, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Advice: Barkov exited and did not return to Monday's Game 2 win over Edmonton after taking a high hit from the Oilers' Leon Draisaitl in the third period, but luckily for the Panthers, it seems whatever injury prevented him from returning to that contest didn't end up being overly serious. The 28-year-old pivot, who's racked up six goals and 19 points through 19 games this postseason, will skate on the first line and top power-play unit Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:06 am
     
  • Making progress
    Barkov (upper body) is progressing ahead of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday against Edmonton, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Advice: Barkov's availability for Thursday's contest is in question due to an injury he sustained during the third period of Monday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers. He will be assessed further Wednesday, but head coach Paul Maurice expressed optimism Tuesday that they will be in "good shape" if the 28-year-old forward continues to make positive progress. Barkov has registered six goals and 19 points in 19 outings this postseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:51 am
     
  • Pots two goals in win
    Rodrigues scored twice in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Rodrigues extended his point streak to three games and goal streak to two contests thanks to Monday's performance. The 30-year-old added two shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in 14:38 of ice time. Rodrigues has proven to be an important part of Florida's attack -- he's currently playing alongside Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett on the second line. Rodrigues also has three markers through the first two outings of the Stanley Cup Finals, while no other player has more than one. The Toronto native is up to six goals, five assists and a plus-2 rating in 19 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:12 am
     
  • No update after game
    Barkov suffered an apparent injury during Monday's Game 2 win over Edmonton. There was no update on his status after the game, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Barkov took a hit up high from Leon Draisaitl in the third period and went straight back to the locker room. Barkov had two shots on goal in 17:47 of ice time before exiting the contest. He logged two assists in Game 1 and has 19 points through 19 postseason contests. There should be an update on his status before Game 3 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:09 pm
