Player Notes

  • Scores again Thursday
    Aho scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.

    Advice: Aho extended the Islanders' lead to 3-1 midway through the second period, beating Ilya Sorokin with a wrister from between the circles, the eventual game-winner in Carolina's one-goal victory. The 26-year-old Aho now has two goals and three points in his last two games after tallying 36 goals and 89 points in 78 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:19 pm
  • Nets first of the playoffs
    Nelson scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Nelson cut the Islanders' deficit to 3-2 with 2:21 remaining in the second period, burying a rebound past Frederik Andersen, though New York would ultimately come up a goal short in the Game 3 loss. It's the first goal and second point for Nelson in the postseason. The 32-year-old center tallied 34 goals and 69 points in 82 games this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:04 pm
  • Traveling with team
    Chytil (head) will travel to Washington with the team in hopes of playing Friday in Game 3, per Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

    Advice: Chytil only played in 10 games with the big club during the regular season, recording six assists and 22 shots on goal. The 24-year-old has played in 30 career playoff games, logging eight goals and five assists. Another update on his status should surface prior to puck drop versus the Capitals on Friday.

  • Recalled from AHL
    Parssinen was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday, per Robby Stanley of NHL.com.

    Advice: Parssinen played in 44 regular-season games for Nashville this year, recording eight goals and four assists to go along with 54 shots on goal. The 23-year-old was spotted at morning skate Thursday, so it looks like he could get into the lineup for Friday's Game 3 versus Vancouver. If he does play, expect Lomberg to slide into a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:03 am
  • Might still play in Boston series
    McMann (lower body) could still be an option against Boston, likely returning for Game 5 or 6, Nick Barden of The Hockey News reports Thursday.

    Advice: Based on McMann's reported timeline, he won't be available for Game 4 on Saturday. Considering the winger has yet to resume skating with the team, his continued absence shouldn't come as a surprise. Prior to getting hurt, the Alberta native managed just one point over his last eight appearances, despite seeing time in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:17 am
