  • Tending twine in Game 5
    Woll will guard the road net Tuesday in Game 5 against Boston, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Advice: Woll will make his first start this postseason after Ilya Samsonov went 1-3 with a 3.31 GAA and an .883 save percentage in the opening four contests of the series. The 25-year-old Woll stopped all five shots he faced during Saturday's relief appearance in Game 4. He posted a mark of 0-2-1 versus the Bruins during the 2023-24 regular season, surrendering 12 goals on 89 shots. The Maple Leafs need a win in Game 5 to force Game 6 back in Toronto on Thursday.

  • Gets nod in Game 5
    Hellebuyck will guard the home crease against Colorado for Game 5 on Tuesday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

    Advice: Hellebuyck has lost three straight games and will be facing elimination on Tuesday; He's recorded an .870 save percentage and allowed 13 goals in this span. The 30-year-old will need to be on his game tonight if Winnipeg has any chance of staying alive in the series. He will look to push this series back to Colorado on Thursday for Game 6.

    Tomkins was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

    Advice: Tomkins appeared in six games with the Lightning this season, recording an .892 save percentage and a 3-2-1 record.

  • Takes loss Monday
    Thompson stopped 28 of 31 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: Thompson has now lost back-to-back starts, though it's hardly his fault after putting in solid efforts. The 27-year-old has given up 10 goals on 127 shots through four playoff contests. Thompson's status as the starting goalie in the playoffs could come into question if he doesn't get back into the win column soon, but it's unclear if head coach Bruce Cassidy will stay the course or turn to Adin Hill for Game 5 on Wednesday.

  • Evens series with Game 4 win
    Oettinger stopped 32 of 34 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Oettinger matched his performance from Game 3, though the Stars' offense wasn't nearly as active Monday as it was Saturday. The 25-year-old has helped the Western Conference's top seed erase a 2-0 series deficit with back-to-back wins in Vegas. Oettinger has given up 10 goals on 108 shots in the first round so far. He'll almost certainly be between the pipes again for Wednesday's pivotal Game 5 in Dallas. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 pm
     
  • Stuck with loss in Game 5
    Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 37 shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Advice: Vasilevskiy couldn't hold back the relentless Panthers offense, taking his fourth loss in five playoff games. The 29-year-old gave up 16 goals on 156 shots, an .897 save percentage, during the postseason. Vasilevskiy remains entrenched as the Lightning's No. 1 goalie heading in 2024-25, though he'll be looking to rebound from the statistically worst season of his career -- he had a 30-20-2 record, a 2.90 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 52 regular-season outings.

    Bobrovsky stopped 31 of 32 shots in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

    Advice: Bobrovsky secured a 4-1 series win in the first round with Monday's strong showing. The 35-year-old has given up 14 goals over five playoffs contests, though six of them came in his lone loss in Game 4. The Panthers will have a little extra time ahead of the second round, where they'll face either the Bruins or the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:57 pm
