  • Bags apple in loss
    Mikkola logged an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Mikkola helped out on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the third period. The helper was Mikkola's first point in nine games since the start of the second round, though his lack of offense hasn't cost him a spot on the Panthers' second defense pairing. The 28-year-old has just three points to go with 11 shots on net, 43 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 pm
     
  • Slides helper in overtime loss
    Rodrigues notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on a Gustav Forsling tally in the third period. For the most part, Rodrigues has been a part of the Panthers' depth this postseason, earning seven points, 26 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-2 rating over 14 contests. The 30-year-old can fill in for top-six minutes when necessary, but with the Panthers at full health, he's likely to remain on the third line. Rotowire.com Today, 7:15 pm

The 28-year-old Verhaeghe has two goals and four assists during his active four-game point streak, a big turnaround from when he had just one goal over the previous five contests. Overall, he's at 16 points, 55 shots, 20 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 14 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 pm

  • One of each Sunday
    Barkov scored a goal on five shots, dished a power-play assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Barkov had been held off the scoresheet in the previous four contests. He snapped the slump by setting up Sam Reinhart on the opening goal before scoring one of his own in the third period. Aside from his recent dry spell, Barkov has been excellent with five goals, 10 helpers, 36 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-3 rating over 14 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 pm
     
  • Strikes twice on power play
    Reinhart scored a pair of power-play goals on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Reinhart had 27 power-play tallies in the regular season, but these were just his second and third goals with the man advantage during the playoffs. The 28-year-old ended a three-game slump Sunday and is now at seven markers, 11 points, 58 shots on net, 34 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 playoff appearances. Even with the diminished offense, Reinhart's skill set makes him a threat to go big at any moment, especially as he remains in his usual top-line and first power-play unit roles.

  • Leaky in loss
    Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 23 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Bobrovsky didn't give the Panthers a great chance to win despite his teammates controlling the pace of the game. Alexis Lafreniere and Barclay Goodrow each scored twice during regulation, while Alexander Wennberg tallied the winning goal on Bobrovsky 5:35 into overtime. Through 14 playoff contests, Bobrovsky is 9-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .903 save percentage, with this game being the first time in eight outings he allowed more than two goals. The 35-year-old goalie is at little risk of losing his starting job, so he should be expected between the pipes again for Tuesday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Today, 7:02 pm
     
  • Garners helper in win
    Cuylle logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Cuylle snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old has seen a limited role in the Rangers' bottom six this postseason, picking up two points, 17 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 playoff appearances. He's got a steady spot in the lineup, but Cuylle shouldn't be counted on for significant offense. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 pm
