    • Scores lone goal in loss
      Marner scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 4.

      Advice: Marner snapped a five-game goal drought with his third-period tally, but the Maple Leafs couldn't make a rally out of it. He's picked up just two points with seven shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over four playoff contests, which is not enough production from one of the team's core players. Marner remains in a top-six role, but Toronto will need more out of him to keep its season alive beyond Tuesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Today, 8:48 pm
       
    • Pulled from game due to illness
      Matthews was pulled from Saturday's Game 4 due to the illness he's been dealing with in recent days, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Matthews didn't play in the third period, and head coach Sheldon Keefe explained that the Maple Leafs' doctors pulled the world-class center from the game. The 26-year-old Matthews will have an extra day to recover before Tuesday's must-win Game 5 in Boston. Rotowire.com Today, 8:16 pm
       
    • Exits Game 4
      Matthews (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's Game 4 versus the Bruins.

      Advice: Matthews reportedly was ill during Game 3 on Wednesday, per Mark Masters of TSN, but it's unclear if his exit from Game 4 is related. Matthews should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's Game 5, pending an update from the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Today, 7:24 pm
       
    • Nets 20th career playoff goal
      Carlson was the lone scorer for the Capitals in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: Carlson opened the scoring with a fluttering shot that eluded Igor Shesterkin, but the lead was short-lived as the Blueshirts countered with two goals of their own in the first period, followed by a power-play insurance tally in the second frame. The venerable defenseman is up to 20 goals and 75 total points through 126 career playoff games, but being down 3-0 in the series, the Capitals need goals any way they can get them.

    • Takes loss despite light workload
      Saros permitted two goals on 12 shots in the 2-1 loss to the Canucks on Friday in Game 3.

      Advice: Nashville put up 30 shots to dominate possession in the attacking zone, but Saros ended up with the loss after the Canucks converted on two of three power-play opportunities. Saros didn't carry over any momentum from his 17-save performance in Nashville's 4-1 victory over Vancouver in Game 2 on Tuesday. Now faced with a 2-1 series deficit, Saros will look to shake off the most recent loss in time for a pivotal Game 4 matchup on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:01 am
       
    • Generates helper
      Byfield provided an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Byfield has four helpers and a plus-5 rating over three playoff contests. The 21-year-old is seeing steady top-six minutes, though this was the first time in three games he started on the top line. Byfield can offer offense with a little physicality, but it remains to be seen if reuniting him with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe will be the adjustment the Kings need to keep pace in this first-round series.

    • Gathers helper Friday
      Nurse logged an assist, three shots on goal and six blocked shots in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Nurse snapped a three-game dry spell by helping out on Leon Draisaitl's first-period tally. The 29-year-old Nurse posted 32 points in 81 regular-season contests in 2023-24, his lowest point total in six years. He remains a physical force with 172 blocked shots, 168 hits and 79 PIM, but he may not contribute much offense in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:38 pm
       
    • Slated to start Friday
      Saros is on track to patrol the home crease versus Vancouver in Game 3 on Friday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

      Advice: Saros has gone 1-1 while allowing four goals on 38 shots through the first two games of the series. Saros had some ups and downs this season, winning 35 games while logging sub-par peripheral stats with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage. He'll continue to operate as a workhorse in goal for Nashville throughout its playoff run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 am
       
    • 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 Wednesday, 11:02 pm
