  • Puts up helper
    Brown logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: The helper was Brown's first point in four playoff contests, and he's added two hits and a plus-1 rating. The 30-year-old has been limited to fourth-line minutes, which has given him few chances to contribute. Brown could be at risk of losing his spot in the lineup once Adam Henrique (ankle) is able to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:10 pm
     
  • Dealing with injury
    Mikheyev is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't play Thursday in Game 5 versus the Oilers, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Mikheyev is considered day-to-day, but the injury is a new consideration. It was believed the 29-year-old winger was going to be a healthy scratch Thursday after posting just one assist over his last 22 games and no points in 10 playoff outings. It's unclear if he'll be available for Game 6 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:28 pm
     
  • Lifted from LTIR
    Wheeler (leg) was activated from long-term injured reserve Thursday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: It's not a clear-cut guarantee Wheeler will be in the lineup for Thursday's Game 6, but the 37-year-old is now eligible to return from a three-month absence. Wheeler was cleared for contact Monday, and it appears he's gotten in enough practice time to be an option for the Rangers as they look to close out the Hurricanes in the second round.

  • Secures two-year pact
    Chaffee agreed to terms on a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Tampa Bay on Thursday.

    Advice: Chaffee's deal is a one-way contract, which should increase his chances of playing in more than 30 NHL games this upcoming season. During the 2023-24 campaign, the 26-year-old winger notched four goals on 27 shots, three assists and 88 hits while averaging 11:07 of ice time. Even with his new deal in hand, Chaffee is unlikely to challenge for more than a bottom-six role next season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:49 am
     
  • Pots goal in loss
    Stankoven scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

    Advice: Stankoven has found a groove with four points, including three goals, over his last three games. The 21-year-old's tally in the third period brought the Stars back within a goal, but they couldn't find an equalizer. He's up to six points, 24 shots on net, 19 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 12 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:54 pm
     
  • Pots goal in loss
    Garland scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Advice: Garland got the Canucks on the board in the third period. The winger has two goals and 11 shots on net over four games in the second round after he was held to two assists in six first-round appearances. The winger has added 19 shots, 10 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 playoff outings while filling a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:38 pm
     
  • Picks up assist
    Frederic logged an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: Frederic hasn't scored a goal in seven games, and he's added a modest two assists in that span. The 26-year-old winger has seen a bump up into the top six while Brad Marchand (upper body) has been out. Frederic has five points, 17 shots on net, 49 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 12 playoff appearances. He'll likely drop back to the third line if Marchand is cleared to play in Friday's Game 6.

  • Provides helper in win
    DeBrusk recorded an assist, five hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: DeBrusk is warming up on offense with two goals and three assists over five games in the second round. The 27-year-old winger set up a Morgan Geekie tally in the first period. DeBrusk is up to 10 points, 23 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-4 rating through 12 playoff appearances. He should continue to see top-six minutes, though it appears he's benefiting from a larger role while Brad Marchand (upper body) is unavailable. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:21 pm
     
  • Tallies opening goal
    Geekie scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: The goal was Geekie's second in the last five games, and it gave him four tallies and five points through 12 playoff contests. The 25-year-old has held down a top-six role throughout the postseason, but his contributions tend to be more complementary on offense. He's added 17 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-2 rating.
