Player Notes

  • Scores lone goal in win
    Bouchard scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Kings in Game 4.

    Advice: Unlike previous games in this first-round series, offense was at a premium. Bouchard's goal was the only one of 13 Oilers shots to get by David Rittich, but Stuart Skinner made sure that was enough for Edmonton to go home ahead 3-1 in the series. The 24-year-old Bouchard has a goal, five helpers, 14 shots on net and nine blocked shots through four playoff outings, with four of his six points coming on the power play.

  • Lends assist Sunday
    Alexeyev recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Alexeyev set up a Hendrix Lapierre goal in the second period. The helper ended Alexeyev's 19-game point drought, though it was encouraging to see him in the lineup regularly down the stretch. The 24-year-old blueliner had just three points with 48 hits, 59 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 39 regular-season contests. Alexeyev is under contract for 2024-25, so he'll have a chance to compete for a bottom-four role with the Capitals in training camp. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:43 pm
  • Tallies in Sunday's loss
    Fehervary scored a goal on three shots and added six hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Fehervary ended up with three points, eight shots on net, 16 hits and nine blocked shots over four playoff outings. He's typically more known for his defensive work, so this shouldn't be seen as a sign of a potential 2024-25 breakout. The 24-year-old blueliner put up 16 points, 188 hits, 109 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating in 66 regular-season appearances this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:34 pm
  • Collects assist in Game 4 win
    Trouba recorded an assist, two shots on goal, six hits and five blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

    Advice: Trouba has a helper in each of the last two contests after going 11 games without a point following his return from a lower-body injury at the end of March. The defenseman added 17 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over four playoff outings. Trouba should continue to serve in a shutdown role for the Rangers heading into the second round. He had 22 points, 191 hits and 183 blocked shots over 69 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:25 pm
  • Posts power-play helper
    Fox had a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals in Game 4.

    Advice: Fox helped out on Artemi Panarin's third-period tally, which was the game-winner. After a slow start in the postseason, Fox has a helper in each of the last two games. He's added four shots on net, 13 blocked shots and four hits over four playoff outings. Fox put up 73 points over 72 regular-season games and should continue to provide strong all-around play from his spot on the Rangers' top pairing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:21 pm
  • Logs assist in Game 4 loss
    Lauzon notched an assist, two shots on goal, six hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Lauzon snapped a 13-game point drought when he set up Mark Jankowski's first-period tally. The 27-year-old Lauzon continues to play in a bottom-four role as a physical presence rather than a scoring threat. He has 19 hits, seven blocked shots and four PIM over four playoff contests after posting 14 points, 388 hits, 111 blocks and 98 PIM over 79 regular-season appearances.

  • Generates helper
    Carrier picked up an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Carrier helped out on a Mark Jankowski goal in the first period. Carrier has a helper in each of the last two games, and he's added two hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over four playoff outings. The 27-year-old continues to fill a top-four role as a mainly defensive presence, so he shouldn't be expected to put up many points. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:34 pm
  • Notches assist in loss
    McDonagh produced an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: The helper was McDonagh's first point in four playoff contests. The 34-year-old has added eight hits, 10 blocked shots, four shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while playing primarily in a top-four role. McDonagh had 32 points over 74 regular-season outings, his best production since 2018-19, but it hasn't carried over to the postseason, and time may be running out for him to find it again with the Predators down 3-1 in their first-round series.

  • Manages assist in loss
    Josi posted an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Josi has two helpers over four playoff contests after closing out the regular season with 24 points over his last 20 games. The 33-year-old has maintained his top-pairing role, contributing eight blocked shots, three hits and six shots on net. Josi will need to step up at both ends of the ice if the Predators are to stave off elimination in Tuesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:29 pm
