    • Opens scoring in Game 3
      Burns scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 win over the Islanders

      Advice: Burns opened the scoring 4:48 into the first period, firing a puck from the point that glanced off an Islanders' defender and past Ilya Sorokin. It's the first point of the postseason for Burns, whose last goal came March 10. The 39-year-old blueliner had 10 goals and 33 points in 82 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:17 am
       
    • Travels with team
      Demko (knee) joined the Canucks for their trip to Nashville for Games 3 and 4 despite being labeled week-to-week, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports Thursday.

      Advice: Given Demko's week-to-week timeline, his presence on the trip is likely more about being around the team and perhaps helping Casey DeSmith in an off-ice capacity than him potentially returning to action soon. Another update on Demko will likely surface once he's upgraded to day-to-day. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:14 am
       
    • Scores twice in overtime win
      Kempe scored two goals on seven shots, went plus-3 and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: Kempe's pair of goals came in the first period. The 27-year-old has picked up three straight multi-point efforts, earning four goals and two assists in that span. He's added 12 shots on net and seven hits through two playoff outings. Kempe remains locked in to a top-line role with ice time in all situations, so he should continue to be productive in a first-round series that's showed little patience for defense.

    • Considered week-to-week
      Demko (undisclosed) is regarded as week-to-week, coach Rick Tocchet told Thomas Drance of The Athletic on Wednesday.

      Advice: Demko was a key part of the Canucks' regular-season success, posting a 35-14-2 record, 2.45 GAA and .918 save percentage in 51 contests. He also stopped 20 of 22 shots en route to a 4-2 victory over the Predators in Game 1 on Sunday. The Canucks will likely lean on Casey DeSmith during Demko's absence.

    • Hangs on for Game 2 win
      Shesterkin stopped 22 shots Tuesday during a 4-3 win over the Capitals in Game 2 of the Rangers' first-round series Tuesday.

      Advice: The Caps only beat Shesterkin at even strength once on the night, as their last two tallies came on power plays. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed four goals on 46 shots to help the Rangers build a 2-0 series lead, and dating back to late March he hasn't given up more than three goals in any of his last nine starts, posting a 2.09 GAA and .921 save percentage over that stretch. Shesterkin will look to stay locked in as the series shifts to Washington for Game 3 on Friday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:10 am
       
    • Deposits empty-netter
      Nichushkin scored an empty-net goal on five shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

      Advice: Nichushkin had to work for the empty-netter, earning his fifth point over his last four outings. The 29-year-old winger started the contest on the second line but saw some shifts on the first unit as well when Zach Parise got shuffled down the lineup. Nichushkin can provide solid offense as long as he's in the top six, and he's also a good source of hits with five over the first two contests of the postseason.

    • Slated to start Game 2
      Shesterkin is expected to guard the crease for Tuesday's Game 2 home matchup with Washington, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Shesterkin is riding a three-game winning streak during which he has posted a 0.98 GAA, .963 save percentage and one shutout. While Jonathan Quick has been a capable backup this year, securing 18 wins in 27 appearances, the 28-year-old Shesterkin should remain firmly cemented in the starting role throughout the postseason.

    • Out Tuesday, considered day-to-day
      Demko is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and won't play in Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Predators, Canucks rinkside reporter Kate Pettersen reports.

      Advice: Demko was solid in Sunday's Game 1, stopping 20 of 22 shots en route to a 4-2 win over Nashville. The good news is Demko's undisclosed injury isn't related to the knee issue that kept him out from March 13-April 13. The bad news is the Canucks will be without their No. 1 netminder for at least one playoff contest and potentially more. Casey DeSmith will take over for Vancouver between the pipes until Demko is ready to return. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:58 am
       
    • Undergoes shoulder surgery
      Meier will have arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder but is expected to be ready for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, the Devils announced Tuesday.

      Advice: Despite several injury concerns, Meier still managed to rack up 28 goals and 24 helpers in 69 games this season, including 17 power-play points. The Swiss international should be a near-lock to maintain a top-six role playing alongside Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes (shoulder) next season. It wouldn't be surprising to see Meier find his way back above the 30-goal and 60-point milestones provided he stays healthy. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:23 am
