    • Contributes assist in Game 1 win
      Kulak recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: Kulak has a helper in three of the last four games to provide some depth offense from the third defensive pairing. The 30-year-old is up to five points, 10 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-3 rating through 13 playoff appearances. While he won't see big minutes or power-play time, Kulak is a steady blueliner who can keep things under control in his own zone. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
       
    • Sets up game-winner
      Bouchard notched an assist, four shots on goal, a plus-3 rating, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: Bouchard's attempt was deflected in by Connor McDavid at the 32-second mark of the second overtime. The playoffs have elevated Bouchard's breakout year to the league stage -- he's picked up five goals and 16 helpers over 13 appearances while adding a plus-13 rating and 22 blocks. The 24-year-old defenseman will continue to get his looks in a top-pairing role and on the first power-play unit, where he's earned eight of his 21 points this postseason.

    • Picks up assist in Game 1
      Forsling registered an assist in Florida's 3-0 victory over the Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Forsling fed the puck to Matthew Tkachuk, who fired it past Igor Shesterkin to put the Panthers up 1-0 late in the first period. That stood as the game-winner, which makes this the second straight contest Forsling was involved in the deciding marker -- the 27-year-old defenseman netted the series-clinching tally in Florida's 2-1 victory over Boston in Game 6 on Friday. Forsling has two goals, eight points, a plus-10 rating, eight PIM, 22 hits and 18 blocks in 12 postseason appearances this year. He's also found particular success against the Rangers in 2023-24, supplying four helpers across three outings between the regular season and playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 12:48 pm
       
    • Held off scoresheet in loss
      Fox was held without a point in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Florida in Game 1 of the series.

      Advice: Fox's 24:56 of ice time was the most of any skater on either side in the contest, but he was unable to help New York's offense in the loss. The 26-year-old had five blocked shots, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating. It's the fifth consecutive outing that Fox has failed to register a point, a rare occurrence for the star defenseman. The Long Island native has four points (no goals) and a minus-1 rating in 11 contests so far during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 10:58 am
       
    • Out of action Thursday
      Hakanpaa (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Game 1 against Edmonton on Thursday, Stars radio host Owen Newkirk reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa will miss his 27th straight game, including the last 13 games of the regular season. The defenseman was a force on the blue line when he was in the lineup, blocking 123 shots and picking up 196 hits in 64 regular-season games. He has not been practicing and there remains no timetable for his return. Rotowire.com Today, 9:12 am
       
    • Set to play in Game 1
      Lindgren (undisclosed) is good to play in Game 1 against Florida on Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

      Advice: Lindgren's availability was put into question Tuesday because he stayed off the ice for a third straight day for maintenance reasons. It's possible the 26-year-old is playing through something, but it seems whatever that might be won't be enough to keep him out of the lineup. Lindgren has one assist, four PIM, 13 hits and 12 blocks in 10 playoff contests this year while averaging 20:36 of ice time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:59 am
       
    • Signs one-year contract
      Kral inked a one-year, two-way deal with Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

      Advice: The Maple Leafs originally drafted Kral under now-Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas, so his addition to the organization shouldn't be a complete surprise. The 24-year-old defenseman had five goals and 37 points in 46 contests with the Pelicans in Finland's top league. He struggled to show that level of offensive upside in previous AHL stints, so fantasy players probably don't need to jump on Kral even in dynasty formats. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:46 pm
       
    • Grabs three-year deal
      St. Ivany agreed to terms on a three-year, two-way contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

      Advice: St. Ivany managed just one point in his 14 NHL appearances this season while averaging 13:42 of ice time. The 24-year-old blueliner is likely a long shot to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night this fall but should be atop the list of potential call-ups throughout the year.

    • Returning to Bolts
      McDonagh was traded to the Lightning from the Predators along with a 2024 fourth-round pick in exchange for a 2025 second-round selection and 2024 seventh-round pick Tuesday.

      Advice: McDonagh spent five seasons with the Lightning during his previous stint, logging 267 regular-season games for the club while lifting Lord Stanley's Cup twice during his stay. McDonagh figures to slot into a third pairing for the Lightning. With the acquisition of McDonagh, Tampa Bay is unlikely to re-sign Matt Dumba or Calvin de Haan. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:06 am
