    • Facing Lightning
      Bobrovsky will be between the visiting pipes in Tampa Bay on Saturday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

      Advice: Bobrovsky has been solid in net, as the Panthers have taken a 3-0 stranglehold on the best-of-seven series. Bobrovsky has allowed seven goals on 71 shots (.901 save percentage) against the Lightning in the opening round. Bobrovsky had a stellar regular season, going 37-22-6 with a 2.42 GAA and a .921 save percentage. The Lightning have to come out strong in Game 4, as they are on the verge of elimination.

    • Torched for six more goals
      Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Talbot has given up a total of 16 tallies over three games in the first round, so he's lucky the Kings are only down 2-1 in the series. The 36-year-old's play has been lackluster, but he's not getting a ton of help from his defense. Game 4 is Sunday, but it's unclear if the Kings will stick with Talbot much longer if he continues to struggle, which could open the door for David Rittich to get a look.

    • Gathers helper Friday
      Nurse logged an assist, three shots on goal and six blocked shots in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Nurse snapped a three-game dry spell by helping out on Leon Draisaitl's first-period tally. The 29-year-old Nurse posted 32 points in 81 regular-season contests, his lowest point total in six years. He remains a physical force with 172 blocked shots, 168 hits and 79 PIM, but he may not contribute much offense in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:38 pm
       
    • Grabs power-play apple
      Bouchard notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and 14 PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Bouchard has five helpers, including three on the power play, through three playoff contests. The defenseman has also earned seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The bulk of Bouchard's penalty trouble came from a misconduct in the third period -- he typically won't spend much time in the sin bin, but he can help out with power-play production and blocks.

    • Supplies trio of helpers
      Nugent-Hopkins registered three assists in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Two of the three helpers came on the power play. Nugent-Hopkins is up to four points (three on the power play), five shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating through three playoff contests. The winger continues to play in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit, which should lead to plenty of chances in an offense that's racked up 17 goals over three games.

    • One of each in win
      MacKinnon scored a on goal eight shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

      Advice: Both of MacKinnon's points Friday were on the power play, and he's now at five points (three with the man advantage) through three playoff contests. The superstar center has added 14 shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. MacKinnon's career year didn't stop at the end of the regular season, and he should continue to be one of the top scoring threats in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
       
    • Set to start Friday
      Talbot is expected to start at home against Edmonton in Game 3 on Friday, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.

      Advice: Talbot has struggled against the Oilers, allowing 10 goals on 75 shots (.867 save percentage) over two playoff contests. Edmonton ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per game in the regular season, so the Oilers are likely to continue to give the veteran goaltender trouble, especially because Talbot's been floundering for a while now. He has a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage over his past 17 outings dating back to March 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 am
       
    • Keeps rolling in Game 3
      Bobrovsky made 26 saves Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Lightning in Game 3 of the Panthers' first-round series.

      Advice: Tampa Bay grabbed a 2-1 lead with two quick goals early in the second period, but Bobrovsky kept his focus and let the Florida offense get to work. The veteran netminder has the Panthers on the brink of a sweep, going 3-0 to begin the postseason while allowing seven goals on 71 shots (.901 save percentage). Look for him to make a fourth straight start in a potential series-clinching contest Saturday in Game 4. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:41 am
       
    • Starting in Game 3
      Bobrovsky will guard the road crease Thursday against Tampa Bay for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, per Alex Baumgartner.

      Advice: Bobrovsky was solid in Game 2 on Tuesday, stopping 21 of 23 shots en route to a 3-2 win. The 35-year-old has played 72 career playoff games, recording a .905 save percentage and 31 total wins. The Lightning will undoubtedly be desperate to avoid falling in to a 3-0 series hole, so they'll likely come out firing Thursday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:40 am
