    • Phenomenal performance in win
      Kreider scored a natural hat trick in Thursday's 5-3 win over Carolina in Game 6.

      Advice: Kreider was stellar Thursday night, providing three consecutive goals in the final frame to help the Rangers advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. New York's captain jammed home a loose puck at the side of the net to put the Rangers within one in the third period. He then deflected a shot from Artemi Panarin past Carolina's Frederik Andersen to tie the game for New York. Kreider completed the comeback by netting the game-winning goal on a beautiful pass from Ryan Lindgren behind the net. Kreider finished the series against Carolina with seven points (five goals) in six outings despite failing to find the scoresheet in his previous two contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
       
    • Helps Rangers advance
      Shesterkin turned aside 33 of 36 shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over Carolina in Game 6.

      Advice: Shesterkin bounced back in a big way after Monday's Game 5 loss, helping the Rangers move on to the next round of the playoffs. Carolina outplayed New York for a large portion of the first 40 minutes, but Shesterkin stood tall between the pipes before the Rangers took over in the final frame. It was the 28-year-old netminder's eighth win of the postseason and 21st overall of his career. He has a record of 8-2 with a 2.40 GAA and a .923 save percentage after two rounds of the postseason. Shesterkin and the Rangers will face either Boston or Florida for a matchup in the Eastern Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Today, 9:45 am
       
    • Scores early in loss
      Kane scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: Kane opened the scoring at 4:34 of the first period. The winger has a point in three straight games, with this goal being his first tally of the second round. Over 10 playoff contests, he has six points, 24 shots on net, 34 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-3 rating, but his play has been trending in the right direction lately.

    • Expected to start Thursday
      Shesterkin is set to guard the road goal against Carolina in Game 6 on Thursday, according to Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

      Advice: Shesterkin will attempt to rebound after allowing seven goals on 58 shots (.879 save percentage) while losing his past two starts. Despite his recent setback, he's still 7-2 with a 2.33 GAA and a .924 save percentage in nine playoff appearances this year. A victory against the Hurricanes would advance the Rangers into an Eastern Conference Finals series against either Florida or Boston. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:43 pm
       
    • Playing in Game 6
      Kreider (undisclosed) told reporters he would be in action versus the Hurricanes for Game 6 on Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Kreider didn't play it coy like coach Peter Laviolette, clearly telling reporters that he would be in the lineup Thursday. Through the first five games of this series, the 33-year-old winger has generated two goals and two assists, including three power-play points. Even with concerns about a potential minor injury, Kreider remains a top-end fantasy target heading into Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:09 am
       
    • Status Thursday uncertain
      Kreider, who took a maintenance day Wednesday, is not a lock to suit up against Carolina in Game 6 on Thursday, though coach Peter Laviolette said it was "a real positive" that Kreider skated Thursday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Kreider's potential absence could be nothing more than playoff head games being played by the Rangers bench boss, but unfortunately, fantasy players will need to monitor the situation ahead of warmups. In nine playoff appearances, the 33-year-old Kreider has generated four goals and three assists, including three power-play points. If Kreider can't go in Game 6, Will Cuylle could be shifted into a top-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 am
       
    • Helps out on power play
      Rantanen logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Rantanen helped out on a Cale Makar tally late in the second period, which tied the game at 2-2. After posting one goal over the Avalanche's previous three contests, head coach Jared Bednar moved Rantanen down to the second line at even strength, a switch that could negatively impact the winger's offense. He's at 13 points (four on the power play) with 27 shots on net, 19 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:32 pm
       
    • Earns assist on game-winner
      Kane produced an assist, four hits and four PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Kane helped out on Evan Bouchard's game-winning goal in the final minute of the third period. This was Kane's second straight contest with a helper. The winger is up to five points, 22 shots on net, 33 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating over nine playoff appearances in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:23 pm
       
    • Minus-3 in loss
      Kreider was on the ice for three goals against in Monday's 4-1 loss to Carolina in Game 5.

      Advice: It was a forgettable night for Kreider as he failed to register a point and went minus-3 in the clash. No other Rangers player was on the ice for more than two goals against in Monday's defeat. After starting the postseason with points in six of seven games, Kreider has now failed to find the scoresheet in consecutive contests. The 33-year-old did have two shots on goal and four hits in 18:51 of ice time in his latest tilt. Kreider and the Rangers will have another chance to eliminate the Hurricanes in Game 6 on Thursday.
