Player Notes

  • Enters lineup, scores goal
    Amadio scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Amadio was scratched for the first three games of the playoffs, but he drew in over Anthony Mantha in this contest. The 27-year-old Amadio was able to cash in a goal, but the rest of the Golden Knights' offense mostly struggled. He produced 14 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over a career-high 73 appearances in the regular season, but there's no guarantee Amadio will remain in the lineup consistently moving forward.

  • Scores in Game 4 loss
    Eichel scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Eichel put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the second period, but their offense stalled out there. The 27-year-old is riding an eight-game point streak, which includes three goals and three helpers over four playoff contests. The center remains a huge part of the Vegas offense and will look to get his team back on track in Wednesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:55 pm
  • Picks up helper
    Smith recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Smith began the postseason as a healthy scratch when the Stars were at full health, but he's drawn into the last two games due to the absences of Mason Marchment (undisclosed) and Radek Faksa (undisclosed). The 34-year-old Smith will likely continue to see fourth-line usage until the Stars are healthy again. Smith put up 20 points, 112 shots on net and 51 hits over 75 regular-season appearances in a similar role. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:40 pm
  • Chips in with helper
    Steel logged an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Steel snapped a nine-game point drought with the helper on Ty Dellandrea's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 26-year-old Steel continues to see steady usage on the fourth line. He was solid with 24 points, 86 shots on net, 58 hits and 29 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances while filling a variety of spots in the bottom six. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:38 pm
  • Assists in back-to-back games
    Seguin logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Seguin helped out on a Wyatt Johnston equalizer in the second period. This was Seguin's second helper in as many contests, and he's added 11 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-2 rating over four playoff games. The 32-year-old seems to be clicking well on the third line with Evgenii Dadonov and Joe Pavelski, though they'll likely only be relied on for depth scoring going forward.

  • Helps out on power play
    Duchene recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: The helper was Duchene's first point in four playoff outings. The center has added seven shots on net over the last two games, showing more promise flanked by Jamie Benn and Logan Stankoven following the Stars' lineup shuffle for Game 3. Duchene had 65 points, 172 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 80 regular-season appearances, so getting his offense going could help the Stars build on their momentum late in this first-round series versus Vegas.

  • Scores game-winner Monday
    Dellandrea scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Dellandrea's goal in the second period stood as the game-winner. The 23-year-old has played in the last two games after being a healthy scratch for the previous seven contests. Dellandrea's playing time can be inconsistent in a bottom-six role, but he put up nine points, 53 shots on net and 63 hits over 42 regular-season outings. He should stick in the lineup at least until one of Mason Marchment (undisclosed) or Radek Faksa (undisclosed) can return to play. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:27 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
  • Nets power-play goal
    Johnston scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

    Advice: Johnston has three goals over the last two games to help the Stars bounce back from a 2-0 series deficit. His second-period tally Monday tied the game at 2-2. The 20-year-old has four points, 18 shots on net, four hits and a minus-1 rating through four playoff appearances. He's found instant success since a promotion to the top line, so he'll likely remain there for Wednesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:18 pm
