    Advice: Amadio played the final four games of the series after being scratched in favor of Pavel Dorofeyev early on. Amadio had two points, four shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating.

  • Plays through injury
    Karlsson played through a lower-body injury during the Golden Knights' first-round playoff series versus the Stars, which concluded with a 2-1 loss in Game 7 on Sunday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

    Advice: The injury wasn't bad enough to keep Karlsson off the ice, but it was obvious he was struggling, as he was limited to two helpers over seven games. He added nine shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating from a third-line role. Karlsson was a 60-point contributor in the regular season, and he should fill a middle-six role again in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 pm
     
  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Howden scored a goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

    Advice: Howden tied the game at 1-1 with a goal late in the second period. The 26-year-old played in all seven of the Golden Knights' postseason contests, earning two points, seven shots on net, 23 hits and five blocked shots from a bottom-six role. He is under contract for 2024-25 after posting 19 points in 72 regular-season outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:38 pm
     
  • Supplies assist
    Smith logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Smith set up Radek Faksa's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. After being a scratch for the first two contests of the playoffs, Smith contributed two helpers, 10 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating over the last five games of the first round. The 34-year-old winger should continue to play in a fourth-line role when he's in the lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:33 pm
     
  • Returns with series-clinching goal
    Faksa scored a goal and added four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Faksa missed three games due to an undisclosed injury and was deemed a healthy scratch for Friday's Game 6. The 30-year-old then drew back in Sunday and came up clutch with the game-winning goal just 44 seconds into the third period. It was his first point in nine games. Faksa plays in mainly a fourth-line role, but he's had no fewer than 19 points in any of his full-length NHL campaigns, so he can provide some supplementary offense.

  • Collects assist
    Orlov recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Orlov helped out on a Martin Necas tally in the third period. The helper was Orlov's second point in six playoff outings, and he's added 14 shots on net, 11 hits and six blocked shots from a third-pairing role. The 32-year-old is not in the mix for power-play time, so it's unlikely he puts up much offense during the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:14 pm
     
  • Adds assist in Game 1 loss
    Martinook notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: The helper was Martinook's second point in six playoff outings. The winger is filling a middle-six role as a checking winger, though that's an assignment that won't get him on the scoresheet regularly. He's added 12 shots on net and 10 hits during the postseason.

  • Lights lamp Sunday
    Slavin scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Slavin was limited to one assist over five games versus the Islanders in the first round. He snapped a six-game goal drought with his tally 3:48 into this contest, which tied it at 1-1. Slavin was his usual steady self in the regular season with 37 points, 151 shots on net, 120 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating over 81 appearances. The 30-year-old defenseman will likely be tasked with heavy defensive minutes in a top-pairing role against the Presidents' Trophy winners. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:05 pm
     
  • Pots goal in Game 1 loss
    Jarvis scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Jarvis' tally came with 1:45 left in the third period, but the Hurricanes were unable to find an equalizer. The winger has been strong so far in the playoffs with four goals, four assists, 14 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-4 rating over six appearances. While he's listed on the Hurricanes' third line, his usage has been more in line with a top-six forward, especially with a significant power-play role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:02 pm
