    • Scores twice in overtime win
      Lafreniere scored two goals on six shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: Lafreniere scored a goal in each of the first two periods. He entered Sunday on a four-game point drought, though he added eight shots on net and 12 hits over that span before breaking through with a strong game on the scoresheet. Prior to his slump, Lafreniere was playing a key supporting role for the Rangers. He's at six goals, six helpers, 36 shots, 27 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff appearances.

    • Lands on waivers
      Gaunce was placed on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

      Advice: If he goes unclaimed, Gaunce will probably report to AHL Cleveland ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Hershey on Thursday. He picked up two goals and two assists in 24 NHL appearances with Columbus during the 2023-24 campaign. He also generated 19 goals and 39 points over 46 minor-league outings during the regular season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:30 pm
       
    • Close to return
      Henrique (ankle) is very close to being available to return to the lineup, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The Oilers hope to have Henrique back in action against Dallas for Monday's Game 3 or Game 4 on Wednesday. Henrique participated in pregame warmups before missing his seventh straight contest in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. He has registered one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. The 34-year-old forward will probably occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit once he receives the green light to return. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:25 am
       
    • Puts up assist
      Foegele logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

      Advice: Foegele snapped an 11-game point drought dating back to Game 2 of the first round. The 28-year-old winger has a steady spot in the lineup, but he's seen a smaller role amid his slump. He has three points, 20 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-9 rating over 14 playoff appearances while primarily working in a third-line role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:16 pm
       
    • Tallies in Game 2 win
      Marchment scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: The goal snapped a three-game point drought for Marchment, and he found the back of the net for the first time since Game 1 of the first round versus Vegas. The 28-year-old winger has maintained a top-six role when healthy, though he missed six contests due to an undisclosed injury earlier in the postseason. Marchment is at four points, 19 shots on net, 38 hits and an even plus-minus rating over nine playoff outings, with his physicality being his best asset. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:53 pm
       
    • Two points in Saturday's win
      Benn scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, doled out five hits, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: It was a full stat line for Benn, who opened the scoring by taking a 2-on-1 himself 3:39 into the game. He also set up Esa Lindell's empty-netter in the third period. Benn has earned three goals and five assists over eight games since the start of the second round. He's at 11 points, 33 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-2 rating over 15 playoff appearances.

    • Unavailable Saturday
      Henrique (ankle) isn't expected to play in Game 2 against Dallas on Saturday, Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal reports.

      Advice: Henrique participated in pregame warmups but wasn't involved in line rushes. That suggests he is likely close to returning despite not being quite ready yet. The 34-year-old forward has a goal and an assist in six contests this playoffs. Henrique might receive a middle-six spot and have a role on the power play once he's healthy.

    • Deemed week-to-week
      Vesey (upper body) is considered week-to-week, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

      Advice: Vesey was able to accompany the team to Florida ahead of Sunday's Game 3, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He was injured in the second period of Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 2 after taking a hit from Ryan Lomberg. The 30-year-old Vesey has one goal and two assists in 12 outings this postseason. Blake Wheeler, Kaapo Kakko or Jonny Brodzinski could replace Vesey in Sunday's lineup versus Florida.

    • Hits unconditional waivers
      Usau was placed on unconditional waivers by the Lightning on Saturday for the purpose of terminating his contract, according to CapFriendly.

      Advice: Usau had seven goals and 14 points in 42 regular-season contests with AHL Syracuse in 2023-24. The 22-year-old was never drafted but signed a three-year, entry-level deal with Tampa Bay in March 2022. Should Usau clear waivers and get released, as is expected, he might return to the KHL. He scored nine goals and 26 points in 40 KHL outings with his hometown of Minsk in 2021-22. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:51 pm
