    • Not playing Thursday
      Per Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun, Matthews (illness) has been ruled out of the lineup Thursday versus Boston, according to coach Sheldon Keefe.

      Advice: Matthews was on the ice Thursday for 30 minutes before the morning skate, but did not participate during regular practice. The superstar center was pulled from action between the second and third periods Saturday, and was unable to play in Game 5 on Tuesday. Matthews had a goal and two assists in Game 2, but he has not had a point in any of the three other games he has played in during the playoffs. The hope is that he will be good to go for Game 7, if Toronto can extend the series with a win Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:52 am
       
    • Sharp in Game 5 win
      Oettinger stopped 25 shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stars' first-round series.

      Advice: Both goals he allowed came in the first period, and Oettinger slammed the door shut over the final 40 minutes to give Dallas its third straight victory and put them on the brink of advancing to the second round. The 25-year-old netminder has a 2.31 GAA and .911 save percentage in his five starts this postseason, and he's given up exactly two goals in four straight outings. Oettinger will look to finish the job back in Vegas on Friday for Game 6. Rotowire.com Today, 6:53 am
       
    • Starting Game 5
      Oettinger will guard the home goal versus the Golden Knights in Wednesday's Game 5, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Oettinger recovered from losing the first two games of the series in Dallas by winning the next two in Vegas. He'll look to keep that momentum going back on home ice in a pivotal Game 5. Oettinger has allowed 10 goals on 108 shots over the first four contests of the first round.

    • Earns two assists in win
      Skjei recorded two assists in a 6-3 victory over the Islanders in Game 5 on Tuesday.

      Advice: While Skjei remains goalless in his last 11 outings, the blueliner has tallied an impressive 10 helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. With injuries piling up among the Canes' defensemen, the 30-year-old Skjei could see an uptick in both even strength and power-play minutes heading into the next round of the playoffs.

    • Snags two helpers in loss
      Barzal notched a pair of assists in a 6-3 Game 5 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

      Advice: Barzal put up decent numbers in the postseason, recording two goals and three assists in five games. Still, it wasn't enough to get the Isles past Carolina. During the regular season, the 26-year-old Barzal averaged a point per game, a scoring rate he hadn't achieved since the 2017-18 campaign when he was a rookie. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:47 am
       
    • Bags apple in loss
      Hughes posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.

      Advice: Hughes is up to five assists, eight shots on net and six blocked shots over five playoff contests. He set up Nikita Zadorov for the opening goal in the third period, though the Canucks couldn't hold that narrow lead. Hughes' play hasn't been as consistent in the playoffs when compared to the regular season, but he's still seeing a massive workload on the top pairing. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:30 pm
       
    • Keeps season alive
      Saros stopped 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

      Advice: It was another low-event game, and Saros did his part this time to keep the Predators' season alive. He gave up just one goal to Nikita Zadorov in the third period. Saros has allowed 11 goals on 91 shots through five playoff outings -- those aren't great numbers, but he's done enough to keep most of the games close so far. The 29-year-old is almost guaranteed to get the nod again in Friday's Game 6. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:07 pm
       
    • One of each in Game 5 win
      Manson scored an empty-net goal, added an assist, went plus-2, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

      Advice: Manson racked up five points and a plus-5 rating over five first-round contests. He also had 13 shots on net, 14 hits and seven blocked shots. The 32-year-old defenseman is showing his value at both ends of the ice while playing in a top-four role this postseason. Manson should return solid value in DFS play once the Avalanche's playoff run resumes in the second round. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:16 pm
       
    • Starting in must-win scenario
      Saros will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

      Advice: Saros has allowed 10 goals on 71 shots over four first-round games, and he's gone 1-3 in those contests. That leaves the Predators in a must-win scenario Tuesday, and they'll ride with Saros to try to keep their season going. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:45 pm
