  • Signs new deal
    Crookshank signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

    Advice: Crookshank made his NHL debut in 2023-24, picking up three points, 20 shots on net, 20 hits and a minus-3 rating over 13 appearances. He also had 46 points in 50 contests with AHL Belleville. Crookshank will likely spend some time in the minors in 2024-25, but he may be ready to push for a larger role at the NHL level.

  • Questionable for Thursday
    Kane (hip) is questionable for Game 3 against Florida on Thursday, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

    Advice: Kane has four goals, eight points, 37 PIM and 64 hits in 20 playoff contests this year. Corey Perry, who was a healthy scratch in Game 2 on Monday, is projected to draw back into the lineup at the expense of Ryan McLeod on Thursday. However, if Kane ends up being unavailable, then both Perry and McLeod might dress for Game 3. Rotowire.com Today, 11:38 am
     
  • Ejected from Game 2
    Foegele was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct in Game 2 versus the Panthers on Monday.

    Advice: Foegele was dismissed from the game due to his knee-on-knee hit against Eetu Luostarinen, who did eventually return to the game. For his part, the 28-year-old Foegele was limited to just 1:54 of ice time due to his ejection, which extended his 16-game goal drought. Since he was given a game misconduct, it seems unlikely the winger will receive any additional discipline, and he should be an option for Game 3 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:49 am
     
  • Pots two goals in win
    Rodrigues scored twice in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers in Game 2.

The 30-year-old added two shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in 14:38 of ice time.

The Toronto native is up to six goals, five assists and a plus-2 rating in 19 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:12 am
     
  • Deposits empty-netter
    Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Luostarinen has a goal and two assists over his last three games after finishing Saturday's win with an empty-netter. The 25-year-old forward continues to play on the Panthers' third line, so his scoring chances will likely remain limited. He's picked up a decent seven points with 24 shots on net, 53 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 playoff contests in that supporting role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:46 pm
     
  • Adds insurance marker

    Advice: Rodrigues tallied on a feed from Sam Bennett early in the second period to put the Panthers up 2-0. The 30-year-old Rodrigues had gone nine games without a goal, picking up four assists and 17 shots on net in that span. The forward is up to nine points, 33 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-1 rating through 18 playoff contests while playing in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:44 pm
     
  • Opens scoring in Game 1 win
    Verhaeghe scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Verhaeghe is up to 10 goals this postseason, four of which he's scored over the last seven games. The 28-year-old forward converted after a spring pass from Aleksander Barkov in the first period, and that goal was all the Panthers needed to get the win. Verhaeghe continues to provide clutch offense in a top-line role with 18 points, 64 shots on net, 22 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 18 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:41 pm

    Vesey suffered a separated shoulder in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Florida, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Vesey still hoped to return at some point in the postseason, but now he'll spend a few weeks in New York to continue his rehab following the Rangers' elimination from the playoffs.
