    • Adds helper
      Duchene logged an assist in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

      Advice: Duchene has managed three helpers over five games in the second round, but his goal drought is up to seven contests. The 33-year-old center got the bump up to the top line, replacing Roope Hintz (upper body) in that spot as head coach Pete DeBoer elected to keep Wyatt Johnston alongside Jamie Benn. Duchene has a modest five points with 14 shots on net, 14 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 12 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:59 pm
       
    • Scores twice in Game 5
      Makar scored two goals on five shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Makar tallied on a power play late in the second period and scored again at even strength in the third. His second goal was the game-winner. Makar has been held off the scoresheet in the Avalanche's three losses in the second round, but he's earned five points in their two wins. The defenseman is up to five goals, 14 points (seven on the power play), 34 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 10 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:22 pm
       
    • Gathers helper in loss
      Hughes recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: Hughes has four assists over his last three games, though this one was his first at even strength in that span. The defenseman is up to nine helpers, 14 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 playoff appearances. Hughes is still providing solid offense and steady defense from a top-pairing role, so the lack of goals shouldn't be a concern for fantasy managers or Canucks fans.

    • Goal and assist in win
      Necas scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Necas had a secondary helper on Jordan Martinook's third-period tally before scoring an empty-net goal in Monday's win. It's the first time since Game 1 of Carolina's first-round series against the Islanders that Necas has registered two points in a game. The 25-year-old forward also had two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 15:56 of ice time. Necas is up to three goals and five assists in 10 contests this postseason.

    • Back in assistance program
      Nichushkin was placed in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Monday and will be suspended for six months.

      Advice: Nichushkin was in the program during the regular season, missing 22 games as a result. Now, he's in Stage 3 of the program and will need to apply for reinstatement after a six-month suspension. He scored 28 goals and 53 points through 54 games this season. Nichushkin also racked up nine goals and 10 points through eight playoff games. With him out, Zach Parise could see a bump in playing time. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:04 pm
       
    • Adds two power-play helpers
      Hughes notched two power-play assists, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: This was Hughes' third multi-point game of the playoffs, and his first since Game 3 of the first round. The defenseman is up to eight assists through nine postseason outings, and he's added 13 shots on net, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Five of Hughes' eight helpers have come on the power play as he continues to see a significant role with the man advantage as the Canucks' top blueliner. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:08 pm
       
    • Garners assist in win
      Duchene notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: Duchene has gone five games without a goal. Through 10 playoff contests, he has one tally, three assists, 13 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. With linemate Tyler Seguin scoring twice and looking more like himself in Saturday's victory following a late-season injury, Duchene's offense could get a boost.

    • Helps out on power play
      Hughes logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: Hughes is up to six helpers over eight playoff games, and three of those assists have come on the power play. He helped out on an Elias Pettersson tally in this contest. Hughes has added 11 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while continuing to play massive minutes on the Canucks' top pairing. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:40 pm
       
    • Keeps scoring Thursday
      Nichushkin scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

      Advice: Nichushkin's tally brought the Avalanche within a goal late in the third period, but they couldn't pull off another stunning comeback. The winger has at least one goal in all seven playoff contests so far, scoring nine times with one assist, 24 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-3 rating over that stretch. Nichushkin was shuffled to the second line during Thursday's game, but that's unlikely to hamper his production even if it ends up being a permanent move. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:27 pm
