  • Garners helper
    Guentzel recorded a helper, five shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Guentzel helped out on a Jaccob Slavin tally in the first period. Through six playoff contests, Guentzel has a goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He should continue to work in a top-line role, as Guentzel has displayed excellent chemistry with Sebastian Aho since he was traded from the Penguins. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Tallies in loss
    Necas scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Necas cut the deficit to one goal with a tally early in the third period. The 25-year-old forward is up to two goals, four assists, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six playoff outings. Necas was only held off the scoresheet in Game 2 versus the Islanders, so he should be able to provide consistent offense in a middle-six role during this second-round series.

  • 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 14 minutes ago
     
  • Hands out helper
    Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Sets up game-winner
    Lafreniere notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Lafreniere helped out on an Artemi Panarin goal in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. This was Lafreniere's fifth helper in as many postseason contests, though only two of them have come at even strength. Lafreniere has added nine shots on net, 10 hits and an even plus-minus rating while filling a middle-six role for the Rangers during the playoffs. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Contributes two power-play helpers
    Kreider logged two power-play assists and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Kreider earned his first multi-point effort of the playoffs by helping out on first-period tallies by Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck. The 33-year-old Kreider has been solid in the postseason with five points, 10 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over five contests. He provides a little grit and a strong net-front presence both on the power play and at even strength, and he also sees solid shorthanded minutes. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Scores in Sunday's win
    Panarin scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Panarin's third-period tally ended up being the game-winner, as the Rangers had to fend off the Hurricanes' late comeback attempt. Through five playoff contests, Panarin has three goals, one assist and 15 shots on net. The winger had a career-best 49 goals and 120 points in the regular season, but he may have trouble replicating such a high scoring pace against a defense as stout as the Hurricanes in the second round.

  • Recalled Sunday
    Lockwood, Mackie Samoskevich, Justin Sourdif, Rasmus Asplund, Matt Kiersted, Michael Benning and Magnus Hellberg were recalled from AHL Charlotte on Sunday, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: The Panthers will bring up a full complement of depth options to serve as Black Aces prior to their second-round series against Boston. Lockwood played in 26 games with Florida this year, tallying an assist. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am
     
  • Out for Game 7
    Marchment (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's Game 7 against Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: This will be the fifth consecutive game Marchment has missed since suffering an injury in Game 2. Evgenii Dadonov should remain in a top-six role while Marchment is sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 am
