    • Awaiting medical clearance
      Matthews (illness) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 against the Bruins on Tuesday. Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "We'll see how the rest of the day goes," per David Alter of The Hockey News.

      Advice: Matthews didn't stay on the ice long during the team's game-day skate, raising doubts regarding his availability. Still, if the 26-year-old California native can get the all-clear from the team doctors, he should immediately reclaim both his top-line and No. 1 power-play roles. By Matthews' standards, he has struggled offensively of late with just one goal in his last six outings. Rotowire.com Today, 8:59 am
       
    • Nabs helper in loss
      Barbashev registered an assist and eight hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Barbashev has an assist in three of the Golden Knights' four playoff games so far. He's added 25 hits and a plus-2 rating, offering a heavy physical game in addition to his solid offense. Barbashev continues to play alongside Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault in a top-six role.

    • Scores in Game 4 loss
      Eichel scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Eichel put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the second period, but their offense stalled out there. The 27-year-old is riding an eight-game point streak, which includes three goals and three helpers over four playoff contests. The center remains a huge part of the Vegas offense and will look to get his team back on track in Wednesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 pm
       
    • 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
       
    • Draws start Monday
      Oettinger will get the starting nod for Game 4 in Vegas on Monday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After falling down 2-0 at home, Oettinger was terrific in Saturday's Game 3 victory, stopping 32 of 34 shots in the process. He's allowed eight goals on 74 shots through three games this series. Oettinger was on a ridiculous run heading into the playoffs, going 10-1-0 with a 1.54 GAA and a .941 save percentage over his last 11 games during the regular season.

    • Traveling with team
      Matthews (illness) will join the Maple Leafs when they travel to Boston for Game 5 on Tuesday but remains questionable after head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, "We're hopeful he's available and feeling good and back to himself," per ESPN's Kristen Shilton.

      Advice: Matthews has scored just one goal in his last six contests despite having racked up 34 shots on net and adding two assists over that stretch. Without the world-class center at practice Tuesday, Toronto shifted Max Domi to center in addition to slotting him into Matthews' spot on the No. 1 power-play unit. If Matthews can get even close to 100 percent, he should reclaim both those roles heading into Tuesday's must-win game for Toronto. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:36 am
       
    • Not practicing Monday
      Matthews (illness), who was pulled from Game 4 against the Bruins on Saturday, was not in attendance for Monday's practice session, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Matthews has produced points in just one of his last six appearances, though he racked up one goal and two helpers in that contest. The 26-year-old center's absence shouldn't come as a significant surprise considering he is trying to recover from a seemingly long-term illness that he tried to push through in Game 4. Without Matthews in the lineup, John Tavares could be given the first-line center role while Max Domi would likely move up to the No. 1 power-play unit. At this point, Matthews should be considered questionable ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:05 am
       
    • Falters late in Game 4
      Saros stopped 16 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: The Canucks again failed to direct much traffic at Saros, but he took a loss for the third time in four games in the first round. The 29-year-old couldn't maintain a 3-1 lead late in the third period as Brock Boeser scored twice in the final three minutes to force overtime, where Elias Lindholm completed Vancouver's comeback. Saros has allowed 10 goals on 70 shots through four games in this series, and he'll now be in must-win mode beginning with Tuesday's Game 5 in Vancouver. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:20 pm
       
    • Sets up game-winner
      Garland recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Garland set up Elias Lindholm's tally 1:02 into overtime. After ending the regular season with 15 points over his last 14 games, Garland has just two assists through four playoff contests. He's added four shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. The Canucks have done fine without him being a huge contributor in the first round, but they'll likely need Garland and other depth forwards to step up if they're going to make a deep run.
