    • Contributes helper
      Ekholm logged an assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: The assist was Ekholm's first point in three playoff outings, to go with seven shots on net, four hits and five blocked shots. The 33-year-old defenseman had a career-high 45 points and a plus-44 rating over 79 regular-season appearances. His focus remains on keeping the Oilers' defensive zone clear, but he can also chip in solid secondary scoring from his top-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:36 pm
       
    • Falters again in Game 3
      Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 39 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Hellebuyck has now surrendered 15 goals on 116 shots over the last three games. The 30-year-old will need to get his game back to his regular-season form soon if the Jets are going to fend off the Avalanche, who now lead the series 2-1. There's little reason to think Hellebuyck won't get the chance to play out of his slump, so expect him between the pipes for Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
       
    • Between pipes Friday
      Hellebuyck will defend the road crease in Colorado for Game 3 on Friday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

      Advice: Hellebuyck struggled in the opening two games of the series, allowing 10 goals on 77 shots. Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Colorado snapped Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak. He was 37-19-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 60 regular-season appearances. The Avalanche have had no problem finding the back of the net thus far, they'll hope to continue that trend as the series shifts to Colorado for Games 3 and 4.

    • Puts up assist
      Barbashev notched an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.

      Advice: Barbashev helped out on Jonathan Marchessault's game-tying goal in the first period. Barbashev has earned a helper in each of the first two playoff contests while continuing his role on the top line. The 28-year-old isn't the most gifted natural scorer, but he's in a good situation and should provide depth offense with plenty of hits in the postseason. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:22 pm
       
    • Loses Game 2
      Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

      Advice: Hellebuyck's six-game winning streak came to an end Tuesday, resulting in the Jets' first-round playoff series being tied at 1-1 with Games 3 and 4 ahead in Denver on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The 30-year-old has allowed 10 goals on 77 shots so far against the Avalanche, so he'll need to tighten things up on the road to keep the Jets competitive. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Set to start Tuesday
      Hellebucyk is slated to be between the home pipes for Game 2 against the Avalanche on Tuesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

      Advice: Hellebuyck is riding a six-game winning streak, which includes a crucial victory in the series opener despite giving up six goals on 46 shots (.870 save percentage). Considering the 30-year-old goalie is the heavy favorite to take home the Vezina Trophy as the league's top netminder, there is little chance of him being dropped from the starting role as long as the Jets are in the playoffs.

    • Contributes helper Monday
      Barbashev notched an assist and seven hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: Barbashev was limited to one goal over the final seven games of the regular season. The 28-year-old winger continues to play on the top line, but as a more physical forward, his offense is likely to be streaky in that role. He had 45 points, 122 shots on net, 179 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-15 rating in 82 regular-season outings. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:33 pm
       
    • Survives high-scoring Game 1
      Hellebuyck stopped 40 of 46 shots in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Avalanche in Game 1.

      Advice: Hellebuyck was twice as busy as his Colorado counterpart Alexandar Georgiev, but the Jets' offense was more opportunistic. Hellebuyck allowed four or more goals in just 10 of his 60 regular-season appearances, posting a 2.39 GAA and a .921 save percentage in a Vezina-caliber campaign. The 30-year-old will need more stability from his defense to avoid turning every game into a track meet versus the Avalanche. Game 2 is Tuesday in Winnipeg. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:26 pm
       
    • Pots game-winner
      Panarin scored the game-winning goal early in the second period during Sunday's 4-1 Game 1 win over Washington.

      Advice: Panarin played a huge role in the Rangers' 2022 playoff run, scoring six goals and 16 points in 20 games. He was less effective last year, contributing just two assists through seven contests. After a career-best 49 goals and 120 points during the regular season, Panarin looks ready to make a postseason impact. He finished Sunday's game with a goal, seven shots, a hit and a plus-1 rating.  Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:47 pm
