    • Back in assistance program
      Nichushkin was placed in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program 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 Today, 6:04 pm
       
    • In goal for Game 4
      Georgiev will patrol the home crease during Monday's Game 4 versus Dallas, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

      Advice: Georgiev was decent in Saturday's Game 3, turning aside 19 of 21 shots, but he ultimately came away with a second straight loss to the Stars due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll try to help the Avalanche even the series up at two games apiece by picking up his sixth win of the playoffs during Monday's pivotal home contest versus Dallas.

    • Scores game-winning goal
      Barkov scored his fifth goal of the postseason in Sunday's 3-2 win over Boston in Game 4.

      Advice: Barkov scored the game-winning goal Sunday in Boston to help the Panthers get within one win of advancing to the third round of the postseason. The Finnish superstar diced through the middle of the ice before beating Jeremy Swayman under his right arm almost midway through the third period. The goal extended Barkov's point streak to five games -- he has 11 points over that span. Florida's captain is leading the team in scoring so far this postseason with 13 points in nine games to go along with a plus-4 rating. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:19 pm
       
    • Takes another loss
      Georgiev surrendered two goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.

      Advice: Georgiev played better than the final score would indicate, but the Stars' overall game was too much for the Avalanche to handle. He's now lost consecutive contests for the first time this postseason. The 28-year-old is 5-3 with a 2.97 GAA and an .893 save percentage over eight playoff contests -- which is fairly similar to how he performed in the regular season. The Avalanche's offense is strong enough to avoid asking Georgiev to steal games, but he will need to be just a bit sharper in Monday's Game 4 to avoid putting his team on the brink of elimination.

    • Grabs helper in win
      Robertson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: Robertson has a helper in all three second-round games so far, though this was his first to not come on the power play. The 24-year-old winger is up to eight points, 19 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 playoff contests. He's not dominating in the postseason, but the Stars' balanced offense doesn't require Robertson to hit lofty scoring totals. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:10 pm
       
    • Dishes pair of helpers
      Teravainen recorded two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

      Advice: Teravainen set up a Stefan Noesen goal in the first period as well as Brady Skjei's power-play game-winner in the third. The 29-year-old Teravainen had been held off the scoresheet in the first three contests of the second round. The winger is up to six points, 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through nine playoff outings. He's been limited to middle-six minutes at even strength, but Teravainen is on the first power-play unit and has accumulated three points with the man advantage in the postseason.

    • Set to start Saturday
      Georgiev will start at home in Saturday's Game 3 against Dallas, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

      Advice: Georgiev surrendered four goals on 31 shots en route to a 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2 on Thursday. He's 5-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .886 save percentage in seven playoff contests this year. He struggled in the regular season, too, posting a 3.02 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 63 outings, but he still finished with an impressive 38-18-5 record thanks to the Avalanche's potent offense.

    • 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
       
    • Drops Game 2
      Georgiev allowed four goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Georgiev and the Avalanche again found themselves in a hole early on, and the comeback effort fell short this time around. Georgiev's five-game winning streak was snapped, and he's now allowed 10 goals over his last three outings. The Stars are giving him trouble early in games, though he may be able to get back on track with this second-round series shifting back to Colorado for Games 3 and 4 on Saturday and Monday, respectively.
