  • Pens three-year contract
    Mittelstadt signed a three-year, $17.25 million deal with Colorado on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mittelstadt put up solid numbers for the Avs after being acquired at the trade deadline last season. The 25-year-old center garnered four goals on 25 shots to go with six helpers, 12 hits and eight blocks in 18 regular-season appearances. Previously scheduled to be a restricted free agent this offseason, Mittelstadt avoids a protracted contract negotiation by getting this deal done early. Heading into the 2024-25 campaign, the Minnesota native should be capable of reaching the 50-point threshold for a third consecutive season and even challenging for 60-plus.

  • Scores Cup-clinching goal
    Reinhart scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked three shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Oilers in Game 7.

    Advice: After a close call for the Oilers, Reinhart got out on a rush the other way and sniped home the decisive goal at 15:11 of the second period. While it wasn't the instant gratification of an overtime tally, Reinhart's goal ultimately sealed the Panthers' first Stanley Cup title. The 28-year-old concluded his best year yet with 10 goals and six assists over 24 playoff contests after posting 57 goals and 94 points in the regular season. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though he'll likely be near the top of the list of players the Panthers attempt to re-sign. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:56 pm
     
  • Sets up opening goal
    Draisaitl registered an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 7.

    Advice: Draisaitl's goal drought is up to eight games, but he's picked up three helpers over the last three contests. The 28-year-old set up Warren Foegele for the Oilers' opening goal Friday. Draisaitl is at 31 points, 73 shots on net, 23 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 24 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:29 pm
     
  • Dealing with cut finger
    Lyon suffered a cut finger at the 2024 IIHF World Championship in May, per Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside.

    Advice: Lyon was representing the United States in Czechia. He will not require surgery and is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp in September. Lyon will battle Ville Husso for the top job with the Red Wings in 2024-25 -- Lyon went 21-18-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 44 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

  • Undergoes offseason surgery
    Larkin (upper body) has undergone offseason surgery, but he's expected to be fine for the start of training camp in September, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.

    Advice: Larkin missed eight games in early March, but he returned to finished the regular season with 33 goals, 36 assists, 26 power-play points and 221 shots on goal in 68 appearances. Look for Larkin to center the top line with Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat on his wings next season. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:45 am
     
  • Supplies pair of assists
    Draisaitl notched two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Draisaitl hadn't had much success in the Stanley Cup Finals before Saturday's matchup. He'd been held off the scoresheet for three straight contests before he broke through in Game 4. The 28-year-old is up to 30 points (15 on the power play) with 69 shots on net, 23 hits, 15 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 22 playoff appearances. Draisaitl rarely goes cold in the postseason, and if the Oilers are going to come back in the series, he'll likely be a big part of that. Rotowire.com Jun 15, 11:05 pm
