    • Supplies pair of assists
      Byfield produced two assists, three hits, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: Byfield helped out on Kevin Fiala's goal in the third period and set up Anze Kopitar for the game-winner 2:07 into overtime. The 21-year-old Byfield has some momentum with five points over his last three outings, which follows a nine-game slump. He's been listed on the third line for the playoffs, but his role has been fairly interchangeable with Alex Laferriere so far. Byfield will have the better scoring outlook of the two even if he doesn't get back into a top-six role officially. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:02 pm
       
    • Pair of points in win
      Forsberg scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added three hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.

      Advice: Forsberg set up Anthony Beauvillier early in the first period and then scored a goal of his own, the game-winner, at 6:29 of the second. With three points over two playoff outings, Forsberg has carried his momentum from the regular season into the postseason. The 29-year-old has added four hits, six shots on net and a minus-1 rating so far in the first round. He's the star of the Predators' offense and a steady presence on the top line.

    • Collects win Tuesday
      Saros allowed a goal on 18 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.

      Advice: Saros was solid when called upon, but the Predators were also credited with 30 blocked shots to make his job easier. He's allowed four goals on 38 shots over two playoff contests so far. Saros will likely continue to see most, if not all, of the starts during the postseason, and he's likely to get more goal support while Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is out of action for the Canucks. Game 3 is set for Friday in Nashville. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:09 pm
       
    • Takes slight step back in 2023-24
      Buchnevich contributed 27 goals and 36 assists across 80 games during 2023-24.

      Advice: Buchnevich scored 26 goals and added 41 assists last season, but he managed that total across just 63 contests. However, Buchnevich had a 21.1 shooting percentage in 2023-24, so some regression was anticipated. By contrast, the 29-year-old succeeded on 13.0 percent of his shots this year, which is more in line with his career average of 14.6. The 29-year-old winger is heading into the final season of his contract carrying a $5.8 million cap hit. The Blues will try to sign him to an extension this summer, but if he doesn't put pen to paper, the Russian winger will be subjected to trade speculation. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:50 pm
       
    • Tending twine in Game 2
      Saros will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday in Game 2, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

      Advice: Saros will look to overcome his Game 1 loss, in which he allowed three goals on 20 shots, including a pair of tallies in a 12-second span in the third period. The 29-year-old has lost all three of his games versus the Canucks this season, allowing a total of 11 goals. His Predators teammates may find more room for offense Tuesday with Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) out and Casey DeSmith slated to start for Vancouver. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:43 pm
       
    • Pockets helper
      Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

      Advice: Byfield set up an Adrian Kempe tally in the second period. An unsteady end to the campaign saw Byfield pick up two points in the regular-season finale following a 19-game goal drought in which he earned six assists. The 21-year-old had 55 points over 80 regular-season contests overall, but it's possible he's feeling the wear and tear of a full-length NHL season, which could limit his effectiveness in the playoffs.

    • Three points in Game 2
      Matthews tallied a goal and added two assists in Monday's 3-2 win over the Bruins in Game 2.

      Advice: Matthews assisted on Max Domi's goal midway through the first period before adding a second helper on John Tavares' power-play marker in the second. Matthews would then tally the eventual game-winner in the third, beating Linus Ullmark on a breakaway to put Toronto ahead 3-2 and even the series 1-1. It's an encouraging effort from Matthews and for the Leafs after the 26-year-old center was held off the scoresheet in Game 1. Matthews posted a league-high 69 goals and 107 points in 81 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:40 pm
       
    • Manages power-play assist
      Forsberg logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

      Advice: Forsberg helped out on Ryan O'Reilly's second-period tally. The 29-year-old Forsberg surged late in the season with 39 points over his final 25 contests to end up with a career-high 94 points (48 goals, 46 assists) over 82 outings. He'll be the centerpiece of the Predators' offense in the playoffs, though facing a tough goalie like Thatcher Demko in the first round could limit Forsberg's effectiveness.

    • Can't hold lead in Game 1
      Saros stopped 17 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

      Advice: Saros had a 2-1 lead to work with to begin the third period, but he gave up goals to Quinn Hughes and Dakota Joshua in a span of 12 seconds. The Predators didn't recover from that, sending Saros to his third loss in his last four outings. The 29-year-old had his worst numbers as an NHL regular with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 64 outings this season, though he still went 35-24-5. The Predators will likely roll with Saros throughout the postseason despite his lackluster play of late. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:56 pm
