    • Tending twine Saturday
      Andersen will patrol the visiting crease against the Islanders on Saturday in Game 4, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

      Advice: Andersen is a perfect 3-0 versus the Islanders in the opening round. He has allowed six goals on 77 shots (.922 save percentage) as the Hurricanes have shut down the Islanders in the series. Andersen was also outstanding in the regular season, going 13-2-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 16 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:01 am
       
    • Steadfast in Game 3 win
      DeSmith denied 29 of 30 shots from the Predators on Friday, culminating in a 2-1 win to take Game 3.

      Advice: DeSmith emerged with his first career playoff victory, as he drew his second straight start in place of Thatcher Demko (undisclosed). While the Predators scored with 3:12 remaining in the third period, it wasn't quite enough to flip the script. DeSmith was laser focused while helping his team kill all four penalties, plus he worked against the grain of the Canucks' minus-18 shot differential. Demko has a week-to-week return timeline, meaning DeSmith will likely draw the Game 4 start in Nashville on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:32 am
       
    • Keeps dishing in Game 3 victory
      Hughes earned two power-play assists Friday in a 2-1 win over the Predators in Game 3.

      Advice: Hughes didn't post a shot on goal for the first time in the series, but the point-packing defender has four helpers through three contests against Nashville. Of course, you could say that his performance Friday was just another day at the office for Hughes after he led all NHL defensemen in assists (75) and points (92) during the regular season.

    • Three-point effort in Game 3 win
      Draisaitl scored twice on four shots, added an assist, went plus-2, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Draisaitl's first goal was at even strength, while his other two points were on the power play. The 28-year-old has been in peak form with three goals, four helpers, 15 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through three playoff contests. With the Oilers leading the series 2-1, Draisaitl is likely to remain on the second line rather than moving up to play alongside Connor McDavid. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:22 pm
       
    • Another win in Game 3
      Andersen stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Islanders in Game 3.

      Advice: After alternating starts with Pyotr Kochetkov late in the regular season, Andersen's now started each of the first three games of Carolina's first-round series against the Islanders, posting an excellent .922 save percentage while helping the Canes jump out to a convincing 3-0 series lead. The 34-year-old netminder figures to be back in goal Saturday as Carolina will look for an opening-series sweep in Game 4 on the road. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:57 pm
       
    • Set to start Thursday
      Andersen is expected to start on the road against the Islanders in Game 3 on Thursday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

      Advice: Andersen won the first two outings of this first-round series while stopping 42 of 46 shots (.913 save percentage). He was fantastic in the regular season, posting a 13-2-0 record, 1.84 GAA and .932 save percentage in 16 appearances. The Islanders weren't particularly strong offensively during the 2023-24 campaign, finishing 22nd with 2.99 goals per contest, so Andersen likely won't be challenged too much in the first round.

    • Two more points in loss
      Draisaitl logged two assists (one on the power play), eight shots on net and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

      Advice: Draisaitl set up goals by Brett Kulak and Zach Hyman in the contest. Three of Draisaitl's four points over two playoff games have come on the power play. He's added 11 shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Draisaitl continues to center the second line, but the 28-year-old could eventually move to play alongside Connor McDavid if the Kings continue to have success, as the Oilers often put their best players together when playing from behind.

    • Grabs power-play helper
      Heiskanen logged a power-play assist, four hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.

      Advice: Heiskanen set up Jason Robertson's first-period tally. The 24-year-old Heiskanen has earned an assist in each of the first two postseason contests. He's seeing heavy minutes in a top-pairing role and has also chipped in four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:28 pm
       
    • In goal for Game 3
      DeSmith will start Game 3 on the road versus the Predators on Friday, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: DeSmith is now the Canucks' top goalie since Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week. DeSmith struggled in Game 2 on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 15 shots in a 4-1 loss. The 32-year-old will likely need a bit more goal support from his team, as well as a better performance from himself between the pipes, in order for the Canucks to have a chance to regain a series lead.
