  • Three straight wins
    Bobrovsky made 16 saves on 18 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over Boston in Game 4.

    Advice: It was another light workload for the Russian netminder -- this was the third consecutive matchup that Boston has failed to top 18 shots on goal, and also the third straight game in which Bobrovsky allowed two or fewer goals. Bobrovsky was beaten twice in the first period but kept the door shut over the final 40 minutes of the contest. Overall this postseason, Bobrovsky is 7-2 with a 2.55 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Bob and the Panthers will attempt to eliminate the Bruins in Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:02 pm
     
  • Tending twine in Game 4
    Bobrovsky will defend the road net in Game 4 against Boston on Sunday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

He has posted a 6-2 record with a 2.62 GAA and an .892 save percentage through eight appearances this postseason. The Panthers can push the Bruins to the brink of elimination with a victory in Sunday's contest. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:17 am
     
  • Scores lone goal in Game 3 loss
    Rantanen scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: Rantanen tied the game at 1-1 in the second period, but the Avalanche couldn't build on his goal. The winger was held off the scoresheet for the first time in the playoffs in Game 2, but he bounced back well. He's produced three goals, nine assists, 21 shots on net, 14 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over eight postseason appearances in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:44 pm
     
  • Finds twine in loss
    Pettersson scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Pettersson opened the scoring at 4:14 of the first period. The tally was his first since April 10, and he managed just four helpers and 13 shots on net over the 10 contests between goals. Pettersson is at four points, 13 shots on net and 16 hits through eight postseason appearances, which is not great production from a top-six center who posted 34 goals and 89 points in the regular season.

  • Logs power-play helper
    Nugent-Hopkins posted a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins has eight helpers over his last five games, but he hasn't scored a goal since the postseason opener. The 31-year-old centered the second line Friday with Leon Draisaitl moving up to the top line to play alongside Connor McDavid. Nugent-Hopkins has experience as a center, but it's better for his overall game when he's playing alongside McDavid or Draisaitl. Nugent-Hopkins is up to nine points, 10 shots on net, 12 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:24 pm
     
  • Two goals in win
    Rodrigues potted two goals in Friday's 6-2 road victory over Boston in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues opened the scoring in Game 3 with an even-strength goal that came right after a Florida power-play ended. He also finished the scoring with a goal in the final minute of the third period. Rodrigues is the perfect example of a depth player that Florida will need to keep contributing if they want to go on a deep Stanley Cup run. Rodrigues has three goals and an assist in eight games so far this postseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:18 pm
     
  • Light workload in win
    Bobrovsky turned aside 14 of 16 shots on goal in Friday's 6-2 Game 3 victory over the Bruins.

    Advice: It was a relatively quiet night in net for Bobrovsky -- the Bruins only had eight shots on net after two periods. Florida also had a 3-0 lead after the second period, so Boston was pressing hard in the third as a result. Bobrovsky made a number of key saves to keep the lead at two before the Panthers added a couple of insurance goals. Game 4 of this series is Sunday in Boston, and Bobrovsky will almost certainly be between the pipes again for that contest. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:36 pm
     
  • Draws start Friday
    Bobrovsky will be stationed between the pipes in Boston for Game 3 on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bobrovsky struggled in Game 1 against Boston, yielding four goals on 28 shots en route to a 5-1 defeat. He bounced back in Game 2, stopping 14 of 15 shots en route to a dominant 6-1 win. While he's won five of his seven postseason starts, he's registered a lackluster .893 save percentage during that stretch. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:38 pm
     
  • Picks up two assists in Game 1
    Nugent-Hopkins registered two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver in Game 1.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins earned his third multi-point showing in the span of four contests. He's up to a goal and eight points in six playoff appearances this year. Nugent-Hopkins should continue to serve in a top-six capacity and on the Oilers' first power-play unit. His position with the man advantage is of particular importance to his production -- four of his eight points in the postseason have been recorded on the power play, including one of his assists in the series opener versus the Canucks.
