Player Notes

  • Provides assist Tuesday
    Cole picked up an assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Predators in Game 2.

    Advice: Cole snapped a five-game point drought when he set up a Nikita Zadorov tally in the second period. The 35-year-old Cole is unlikely to produce much offense in the playoffs, but he should be able to maintain a bottom-four role on the blue line. He had 11 points, 166 blocked shots, 83 hits, 61 shots on net and 61 PIM over 78 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:38 pm
  • Nets lone goal in Game 2 loss
    Zadorov scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged four hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Predators in Game 2.

    Advice: Zadorov had gone 12 games without a goal, picking up three assists in that span. The 29-year-old defenseman got the Canucks on the board in the second period, but they couldn't form a comeback. He's earned two points five shots on net, nine hits and three blocked shots over two playoff contests while playing in a bottom-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:32 pm
  • Generates assist Tuesday
    Dillon logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Dillon already has three helpers over two playoff games -- he logged just one assist across his last nine regular-season outings. The 33-year-old defenseman is better known for his physical and defensive play than his offense, though he put up 20 points, 241 hits and 111 blocked shots in 77 contests during 2023-24. He should continue to see time on the Jets' second pairing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:06 pm
  • Logs helper in loss
    Pionk notched an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Pionk helped out on a David Gustafsson tally in the first period. After posting 33 points for the second season in a row, Pionk should be able to offer solid offense and plenty of physical play from his second-pairing role in the playoffs. The 28-year-old blueliner had 220 hits, 118 blocked shots, 63 PIM and 146 shots on net over 82 regular-season outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:04 pm
  • Picks up assist in Game 2 win
    Toews logged an assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Toews is on an 11-game goal drought, but he's managed six helpers in that span. The 30-year-old defenseman reached the 50-point mark for the third year in a row in the regular season, adding 159 shots on net, 74 hits, 110 blocked shots and a plus-28 rating over 82 appearances. Toews remains in a top-pairing role, and while he won't put up Cale Makar-like numbers on offense, he's still a solid part of the Avalanche's depth scoring. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
