  • 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
     
  • Supplies pair of helpers
    Verhaeghe notched two assists and seven shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Verhaeghe set up a power-play goal by Sam Reinhart in the first period and also fed Aleksander Barkov for an even-strength tally in the third. 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.

  • Picks up assist in overtime win
    Roslovic recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Roslovic was credited with the secondary helper on Alexander Wennberg's tally in overtime. While he hasn't scored in nine games, Roslovic has picked up three assists over his last four contests. The 27-year-old winger began the playoffs in a top-line role, but he's now on the third line with Filip Chytil taking his spot alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Roslovic is at eight points, 18 shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances, but his scoring chances are likely to be limited as long as he remains in the bottom six.

  • Provides pair of helpers
    Trocheck recorded two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Trocheck set up Alexis Lafreniere's first-period tally and a shorthanded goal by Barclay Goodrow in the second. This postseason has been a highlight reel for Trocheck, who has eight multi-point efforts in 13 contests. He's picked up seven goals, 11 assists, 37 shots on net, 47 hits, 13 blocks and a plus-2 rating while earning eight of his points on the power play. Look for the 30-year-old center to continue playing a significant role in the Rangers' top six and on the first power-play unit. Rotowire.com Today, 6:42 pm
     
  • Nets game-winning goal
    Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Wennberg tallied 5:35 into the extra session to fend off the Panthers. This was the Rangers' second overtime win in a row, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Playing in a third-line role, Wennberg hasn't generated much on offense with two points through 13 playoff games, but he's added 17 blocked shots and 11 shots on net as a defensively responsible center.

  • Tallies twice Sunday
    Goodrow scored two goals, including one while shorthanded, in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Goodrow added two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's win, which put the Rangers up 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. His playoff experience is shining through with five goals over his last six games despite a limited bottom-six role. Goodrow has six tallies, two assists, 14 shots on net, 32 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 13 playoff appearances. He can't sustain this scoring pace over a longer stretch, but his defensive work is more than enough to keep him in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 6:32 pm

He picked up two goals and two assists in 24 NHL appearances with Columbus during the 2023-24 campaign. He also generated 19 goals and 39 points over 46 minor-league outings during the regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:30 pm
