    • Advances Panthers to next round
      Bobrovsky made 22 saves in a 2-1 win over the Bruins on Friday in Game 6.

      Advice: Bobrovsky's exceptional performance was the backbone behind the Panthers' thrilling victory, making crucial saves in the dying moments to preserve the win. With a 2.03 GAA and a .907 save percentage over the six-game series, Bobrovsky's impressive run is a good sign for the Panthers as they face a confident Rangers team on the road in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday.

    • Good to go Friday
      Marchand (upper body) is warming up and is expected to play Friday in Game 6 against the Panthers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Marchand will get back in the lineup after missing Games 4 and 5 due to an injury he sustained during Game 3. He tallied two assists in the first three games of the series and has 10 this postseason. He'll slide back into his usual top-six role and see time with the No. 1 power-play unit.

    • Two primary assists in win
      Panarin provided two assists in Thursday's 5-3 win over Carolina in Game 6.

      Advice: Panarin helped cut Carolina's lead to one in the second period when he assisted on Vincent Trocheck's goal at even strength. Panarin would add a power-play assist on Chris Kreider's game-tying goal shortly after the midway point of the final frame. Panarin also had four shots on goal with a plus-1 rating in 20:39 of ice time. The 32-year-old forward is up to four goals and seven assists in 10 contests with a minus-2 rating this postseason.

    • Supplies two helpers in defeat
      Svechnikov registered two assists in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

      Advice: Svechnikov had a secondary assist on the power play and a primary helper at even strength in Thursday's defeat. The 24-year-old added one shot, one block, four hits and a minus-1 rating in 19:04 of ice time. The Russian forward did have six points in as many games this series, but he found the back of the net only once. He finished the postseason with 11 points in 11 contests. Svechnikov has five years remaining on his current contract heading into the offseason. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:13 am
       
    • Starting Friday
      Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on the road for Game 6 against the Bruins on Friday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

      Advice: Bobrovsky has been solid in each of the last four games, posting a 1.77 GAA and a .910 save percentage while going 3-1. The 35-year-old backstop should be able to rely on his offense to close out the series, which is averaging 3.70 goals per game in the postseason, if he can continue to keep the goals allowed at two or fewer.

    • Officially game-time call
      Marchand (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Coach Jim Montgomery was almost never going to confirm Marchand in the lineup considering we are in the postseason. Fantasy players will have to take a wait-and-see approach, though the fact that Marchand was working with the No. 1 power-play unit Thursday should indicate his availability. If he does suit up, the veteran will be looking to end a six-game goal-scoring drought in order to help the Bruins stave off elimination. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:38 am
       
    • Still considered day-to-day
      Marchand (upper body) was again labeled day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Marchand did practice with the No. 1 power-play unit, which is a good indication that he will be back in the lineup Friday even if coach Jim Montgomery wouldn't confirm his captain's status. If given the all-clear, Marchand should immediately reclaim a top-six role, as he looks to end a six-game goal drought that dates back to April 27 versus the Maple Leafs.

    • Contributes assist in win
      Ekholm recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Ekholm has three goals and two assists over four contests in the second round after being limited to one helper in the Oilers' 4-1 series win over the Kings in the first round. The defenseman set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second-period tally Tuesday. Ekholm is up to six points, 20 shots on net, 12 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over nine playoff appearances in a top-pairing role. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:26 pm
       
    • Loses close Game 5
      Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 28 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 5.

      Advice: Bobrovsky's loss came on thin margins, as Morgan Geekie and Charlie McAvoy had the goals for the Bruins. McAvoy's goal was reviewed for goaltender interference, but it was upheld. Bobrovsky has lost both contests in the second round where he's faced more than 20 shots, which could be problematic if he can't clutch up with the Bruins upping their intensity while facing elimination. It's a near guarantee Bobrovsky will get the nod for Friday's Game 6 in his second chance to send the Panthers to the Eastern Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:34 pm
