Player Notes

  • Assists in consecutive games
    Middleton logged an assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

    Advice: Middleton has a helper in each of the last two games following an eight-game point drought. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 24 points through 79 outings, by far the best season of his career. He's added 145 hits, 158 blocked shots, 84 shots on net and PIM, though his minus-16 rating is one negative mark on an otherwise solid campaign for a stay-at-home blueliner.

  • Snags helper Monday
    Faber notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

    Advice: Faber is putting together a strong finish to the campaign with five helpers over his last six games, though he's also gone minus-3 in that span. The rookie defenseman is up to 46 points, 133 shots on net, 150 blocked shots and 64 hits through 81 outings overall. He was able to command a top-pairing role throughout the campaign as one of the best rookies in the league. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:21 pm
  • Manages assist Monday
    Kulak posted an assist and two hits in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.

    Advice: Kulak has two helpers over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman doesn't tend to chip in much offense from a third-pairing role, which has occasionally led to him seeing limited minutes as well. He's produced 15 points, 88 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 71 hits and a plus-3 rating over 80 appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 pm
  • Distributes three helpers
    Nurse logged three assists, three shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.

    Advice: Nurse crossed the 20-assist mark in Monday's blowout win. He has a goal and six helpers over his last six games to get his offense on track late in the campaign. The blueliner is up to 32 points, 181 shots on net, 168 hits, 169 blocked shots, 79 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 80 appearances in a top-four role this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:33 pm
  • Scores in Monday's win
    Ceci scored a goal, levied three hits and went plus-4 in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.

    Advice: Ceci led the Oilers with 21:26 of ice time in the lopsided contest. He has two goals and two helpers over his last five outings, though that's a bit more offense than he usually produces. The 30-year-old blueliner is at five goals, 25 points, 96 shots on net, 90 hits, 106 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 78 contests overall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
  • Collects two points in win
    Bouchard scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-3 and blocked two shots in Monday's 9-2 win over the Sharks.

    Advice: Bouchard had gone three games without a point entering Monday, his longest slump since January. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 18 goals, 63 helpers, 217 shots on net, 105 blocked shots and a plus-35 rating through 80 contests overall. Bouchard needs just two more points over the final two games to match his total from the previous two campaigns combined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
  • Contributes assist in win
    Lindgren notched an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

    Advice: Lindgren had been held off the scoresheet in his last seven games since a three-point effort versus the Coyotes on March 30. The 26-year-old defenseman ends the regular season with 17 points -- one shy of his career high -- while adding 73 shots on net, 114 hits, 103 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating through 76 appearances. Lindgren is a defensive stalwart for the Rangers, and he should begin the playoffs in a top-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:42 pm
  • Provides helper in win
    Gustafsson notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

    Advice: This was Gustafsson's first point in his last seven appearances. The 32-year-old defenseman ends the regular-season with 31 points, 93 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 63 hits and a plus-3 rating over 76 appearances. He'll likely remain in a bottom-four role as a power-play specialist to begin the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:40 pm
  • Two-point effort in win
    Fox scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, added an assist, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

    Advice: Fox has multiple shorthanded points in each of the last four seasons. The defenseman has also recorded three straight 70-point campaigns, finishing 2023-24 with a career-high 17 goals and 56 helpers over 72 appearances. Fox also earned 33 power-play points, 123 blocked shots and a plus-21 rating. The 26-year-old defenseman remains one of the best in the league at his position, and he'll be tasked with a workhorse role during the Rangers' postseason run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:23 pm
