    • Two helpers in Game 3 win
      Zibanejad notched two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 3-1 Game 3 win over the Capitals.

      Advice: Zibanejad has back-to-back two-point performances, racking up one goal and four helpers during a three-game point streak. The 31-year-old center has helped put the Rangers on the brink of a first-round sweep of the Caps. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:01 am
       
    • Between pipes Saturday
      Samsonov was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, per Mark Masters of TSN, indicating he will defend the home crease in Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday.

      Advice: It's a crucial game for the Maple Leafs as they trail the best-of-seven series 2-1. Samsonov has not been great in the first three contests of this postseason, giving up nine goals on 86 shots (.895 save percentage). If he has another weak showing in Game 4, Joseph Woll might get the nod for Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:39 am
       
    • Torched for six more goals
      Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Talbot has given up a total of 16 tallies over three games in the first round, so he's lucky the Kings are only down 2-1 in the series. The 36-year-old's play has been lackluster, but he's not getting a ton of help from his defense. Game 4 is Sunday, but it's unclear if the Kings will stick with Talbot much longer if he continues to struggle, which could open the door for David Rittich to get a look.

    • Set to start Friday
      Talbot is expected to start at home against Edmonton in Game 3 on Friday, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.

      Advice: Talbot has struggled against the Oilers, allowing 10 goals on 75 shots (.867 save percentage) over two playoff contests. Edmonton ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per game in the regular season, so the Oilers are likely to continue to give the veteran goaltender trouble, especially because Talbot's been floundering for a while now. He has a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage over his past 17 outings dating back to March 7. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:40 am
       
    • Falls to Boston in Game 3
      Samsonov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins, with Boston's final goal of Game 3 getting scored into an empty net.

      Advice: Jeremy Swayman and Samsonov were both perfect in the first period and still had a 1-1 goaltending duel going headed into the second intermission, but the Bruins pulled away after Jake DeBrusk notched a power-play tally just 67 seconds into the final frame. Samsonov has given up nine goals on 86 shots through the first three games of the playoffs, and with Toronto down 2-1 in the series, he might need to come up big in Game 4 on Saturday to keep his team in the series, Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:23 am
       
    • Three points in Game 3 win
      Marchand scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added a power-play assist Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over the Maple Leafs in Game 3 of the Bruins' first-round series.

      Advice: The supreme agitator was at his frustrating best, adding six shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot, and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. While Wednesday's tallies were his first of the playoffs, Marchand has erupted for six points in three games as the Bruins have taken a 2-1 lead in the series. He'll look to stay hot Saturday in Game 4. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:19 am
       
    • Prevails in Game 2
      Talbot stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Wednesday's Game 2.

      Advice: Talbot had another rough game, but the Kings were able to play a little bit better and snag the win with Anze Kopitar's tally 2:07 into the extra session. With 10 goals allowed over two playoff contests, Talbot has had his hands full with a dangerous Oilers offense so far. The series is tied at 1-1 heading to Los Angeles, where Talbot went 13-10-3 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage during the regular season, slightly worse than his numbers on the road. Game 3 is Friday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:46 pm
       
    • Helps out on power play
      Benn earned a power-play assist and levied seven hits in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.

      Advice: Benn has two points, seven shots on net and 11 hits through two playoff contests. The 34-year-old is no stranger to physical play, and his offense hasn't been the problem in the first round -- the Stars have been a little leaky defensively while losing the first two games of the series. Benn has plenty of postseason experience and should be leaned on to lead the team, both with offense and in the locker room. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:31 pm
       
    • Grabs power-play helper
      Heiskanen logged a power-play assist, four hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2.

      Advice: Heiskanen set up Jason Robertson's first-period tally. The 24-year-old Heiskanen has earned an assist in each of the first two postseason contests. He's seeing heavy minutes in a top-pairing role and has also chipped in four shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:28 pm
