  • Comes up short in Game 4
    Silovs stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Advice: The Canucks battled their way back into the game in the third period, tying it at 2-2 on a Dakota Joshua goal. That lasted all of 1:02, as Evan Bouchard scored with 39 seconds left in regulation, sending Silovs to his third loss in seven playoff outings. He's now allowed three or more goals in five of his appearances. The Canucks return home with the series tied at two games apiece, though Silovs has played well enough that he'll likely get the start in Thursday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:36 pm
     
  • Making seventh straight start
    Silovs will patrol the road crease versus Edmonton in Game 4 on Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Silovs was excellent in Game 3 on Sunday, turning aside 42 of a whopping 45 shots en route to a 4-3 victory. The Oilers appear set to split stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl between two lines Tuesday, so while Edmonton's first line won't be quite as intimidating, Silovs will presumably face a more balanced attack from the team in Game 4.

  • Consecutive victories
    Andersen turned aside 20 of 21 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers in Game 5.

    Advice: With the Hurricanes on the brink of elimination at Madison Square Garden, Andersen put forth a solid effort against New York. The 34-year-old did not face a heavy workload, as Carolina played with more structure in front of the goaltender. It was only the second time in Andersen's nine starts this postseason that he's allowed less than two goals in a game. Carolina will need the veteran to be at his best again Thursday in Game 6 against the Rangers. Andersen is 6-3 with a 2.46 GAA and a .902 save percentage during the playoffs.

  • First goalie off Monday
    Andersen was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road for Game 5 against the Rangers.

    Advice: Andersen was almost certainly going to get the start after helping the team stave off elimination by stopping 22 of 25 shots in Game 4. Still, the veteran netminder is sporting a lackluster .874 save percentage over his last four appearances. At this point, if Andersen can extend the series again, he should remain between the pipes heading into Game 6. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:24 am
     
  • Brought up from minors
    Bussi was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday.

    Advice: Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 41 minor-league appearances during the 2023-24 regular season. He also went 1-3 with a 2.14 GAA and a .922 save percentage during the AHL playoffs. The 25-year-old will be Boston's third netminder during the NHL postseason behind Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:58 am
     
  • Reassigned to minors
    DiPietro was sent down to AHL Providence on Monday.

    Advice: DiPietro will switch places with Brandon Bussi, who was called up in a corresponding move. With Providence out of the Calder Cup playoffs, the move will effectively end DipIetro's 2023-24 campaign. He logged 30 minor-league contests in which he went 18-9-2 with a 2.51 GAA and .918 save percentage. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:57 am
     
  • Suffers injury with Team USA
    Lyon sustained an apparent hand injury while playing for the United States at the 2024 IIHF World Championship.

    Advice: Lyon has returned to the US to undergo further evaluation and will not participate in the tournament any further. The netminder figures to be in a battle with Ville Husso for the starting job in Detroit next season, assuming he doesn't miss any significant time. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:56 am
     
  • Holds ground in Game 3 win
    Silovs stopped 42 of 45 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Silovs was bailed out by the goalposts a few times, but he was also sharp with the Oilers throwing a ton of pucks his way. The netminder has won four of his six outings in the playoffs, though he's allowed 16 goals in those games. It's unlikely head coach Rick Tocchet will turn away from Silovs for Game 4 on Tuesday, and the net will likely be his until Thatcher Demko (knee) is ready to play. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:59 pm
     
  • Back in net Sunday
    Silovs will guard the road crease in Game 3 against Edmonton on Sunday, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Silovs will make his fifth straight start for Vancouver -- he's 3-2-0 with an .899 save percentage in the postseason while allowing four goals in each of his first two games against the Oilers. Casey DeSmith is healthy and will back up Silovs on Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:09 am
