  • 106-104-20 8th Place
    • Provides assist in win
      Luostarinen notched an even-strength assist in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Luostarinen had been held off the scoresheet in seven consecutive outings before helping out on Anton Lundell's third-period tally. Luostarinen added two shots, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 16:15 of ice time. The 25-year-old has been struggling when it comes to finding the back of the net -- he has the lowest shooting percentage among Florida's forwards that have at least 20 shots on goal during the postseason. The Finland native has five points (one goal) and a plus-1 rating in 16 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 am
       
    • Back on scoresheet in win
      Lundell scored his third goal of the postseason in Thursday's 3-2 win over New York in Game 5.

      Advice: Lundell gave the Panthers the lead just after the midway point of the third period in Thursday's win. He was held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests prior to Game 5. The 22-year-old also had three shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in 14:05 of ice time. Lundell is back to centering the third line after a recent stretch on the second line -- his ice time has decreased as a result over the last two contests. On the positive side, Lundell is averaging 1:11 more of ice time during the postseason in comparison to the regular season, though Florida's numerous overtime games have boosted everyone's playoff ice totals. The middle-six center is tied for fifth in points on Florida during the playoffs with three goals, eight assists and a plus-6 rating in 16 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 am
       
    • Registers two points in win
      Bennett scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Bennett was a major contributor in Thursday's win -- he set up Gustav Forsling in the second period to tie the game before potting an empty-netter, which ended up being the game-winner. It was Bennett's first multi-point performance since April 23 against Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old has five points in as many games in this series, and he's back to centering the second line after a recent stint on the third line. This would suggest that Bennett is close to or at full strength after missing five contests across the first two rounds of the postseason. Bennett is up to five goals and nine points with a plus-2 rating in 11 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 am
       
    • Stays hot with goal
      Forsling scored his fourth goal of the postseason in Thursday's 3-2 win against New York in Game 5.

      Advice: Forsling extended his point streak to three games after tying Thursday's contest at one apiece in the first period. The 27-year-old defenseman added two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 23:17 of ice time. Forsling now has at least one point in five of his last six appearances. He's first in scoring among Florida's blueliners during the playoffs -- his steady offensive production in this series has vaulted him past fellow defenseman Brandon Montour (nine points) for the team lead. Forsling is up to four goals, seven assists and a team-high plus-12 rating in 16 postseason contests to this point. Rotowire.com Today, 2:41 am
       
    • Unlikely for Game 5
      Hakanpaa (lower body) is not expected to play in Friday's Game 5 versus the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa will miss his 31st straight game, though his absence is a bit more noticeable now with Chris Tanev (lower body) questionable for Game 5. Hakanpaa has been considered day-to-day throughout his absence, though he has not regularly skated during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:05 pm
       
    • Recovering well from surgery
      O'Connor (hip surgery) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.

      Advice: O'Connor underwent surgery in March and missed the rest of the season. O'Connor had 13 goals and 25 points in 57 appearances for the Avalanche, giving them secondary scoring from an unexpected source, as his previous career high was nine goals in 82 games during the 2022-23 campaign. Look for O'Connor to compete for a spot on the third line in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 am
       
    • Slated to start in Game 5
      Shesterkin will patrol the home crease versus Florida on Thursday, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

      Advice: Shesterkin has been outstanding versus the Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals, turning aside 120 of 130 shots (.923 save percentage). Shesterkin has been especially strong at home against Florida, allowing only three goals on 53 shots in the opening pair of games. He is 10-4 overall, with a 2.37 GAA in 14 playoff appearances in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:38 am
       
    • Starting in Game 5
      Bobrovsky will defend the road crease against the Rangers on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

      Advice: Bobrovsky has been terrific in the playoffs, starting all 15 games, going 10-5 with a sparkling 2.29 GAA. Bobrovsky was stellar Tuesday, stopping 21 shots in a 3-2 overtime win at home versus the Rangers, as the Panthers tied the series at two games apiece. Bobrovsky has allowed nine goals on 100 shots in the first four games of the best-of-seven series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:29 am
       
    • Returns to lineup Tuesday
      Wheeler was back in action for Game 4 against the Panthers on Tuesday, recording four hits, two blocks and two PIM in 9:18 of ice time.

      Advice: Wheeler was in the lineup for the first time since Feb. 15 versus Montreal, a stretch of 41 games on the shelf due to his leg injury. Even with the veteran cleared to play, he may still have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically as he eases his way back to 100 percent, perhaps including Game 5 against Florida on Thursday.
