    • Drops Game 7 in overtime
      Samsonov allowed two goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.

      Advice: Samsonov put in a strong showing after Joseph Woll (undisclosed) was deemed unavailable for the winner-take-all contest. Samsonov was able to get the game to overtime, but a bank pass from Hampus Lindholm found David Pastrnak in the space between Samsonov and defenseman Morgan Rielly, and Pastrnak was able to convert the decisive goal. Samsonov won just one of his five playoff appearances, allowing 14 goals on 134 shots during the first round. The 27-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and the emergence of Woll makes it seem unlikely Samsonov will be back to the Maple Leafs after a mediocre campaign.

    • Thrust into service for Game 7
      Samsonov is expected to start on the road in Game 7 against Boston on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

      Advice: Samsonov has struggled in the first round, allowing 12 goals on 103 shots (.883 save percentage) over four outings, which led to him being pulled in favor of Joseph Woll during Game 4. Although Toronto still lost that contest 3-1, which gave Boston a 3-1 series lead, the 25-year-old Woll would start in Games 5 and 6, earning two straight wins while saving 49 of 51 shots. However, Woll is dealing with an injury, so the Leafs will have to put their hopes in Samsonov for the deciding tilt of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:48 pm
       
    • Garners two helpers Wednesday
      Nugent-Hopkins earned a pair of assists in a 4-3 victory over the Kings in Game 5 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Nugent-Hopkins has managed just two shots over his last four games, failing to find the back of the net along the way, but he's chipped in five helpers over that stretch. In fact, dating back to the regular season, the veteran center has scored only one goal in his previous 10 appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:31 am
       
    • Two goals to clinch series
      Draisaitl scored a pair of goals on a team-high six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 victory over the Kings.

      Advice: Draisaitl tied the game 2-2 midway through the second period with a power-play goal before putting Edmonton ahead just a few minutes later with a second tally, beating David Rittich with a one-timer off a Connor McDavid feed. It was an excellent start to the post-season for Draisaitl -- the 28-year-old center tallied five goals and 10 points in the Oilers' decisive five-game series victory.

    • 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
       
    • Contributes assist in loss
      Scheifele produced an assist, three shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

      Advice: Scheifele was solid with two goals and four assists over five playoff outings, but he also went minus-6 in the first-round series. The center had 10 shots on net and 13 hits as well. Scheifele is secure as a cornerstone of the Jets' roster for years to come, as his seven-year contract extension begins in 2024-25. He should continue to see top-line minutes and ample power-play time next season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:51 pm
       
    • Expected to have wrist surgery
      Chabot is slated to undergo offseason wrist surgery, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Tuesday.

      Advice: Chabot could have the procedure in the coming weeks, and his recovery time is expected to be in the range of two-to-three months. That should put him on track to participate in training camp. The 27-year-old defender registered nine goals, 30 points, 118 shots on net, 44 hits and 88 blocked shots in 51 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:35 pm
       
    • Fills empty cage
      Hintz scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

      Advice: The goal ended a six-game slump for Hintz, who continues to see top-line usage despite the lack of offense. He's added seven shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-1 rating through four playoff contests. Hintz had a down year in the regular season but still managed 30 goals, 65 points, 182 shots on net and a plus-26 rating over 80 appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:21 pm
       
    • Strong in series-clinching win
      Verhaeghe scored two goals on eight shots, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

      Advice: Verhaeghe wrapped up the first round with five goals and four assists over five contests. The 28-year-old started the scoring early in the second period, helped out on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the third and then deposited an empty-netter toward the end of the game. Verhaeghe's playoff performances are becoming the stuff of legends -- he had 17 points over 21 outings last spring and is on an even better pace in 2024. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:02 pm
