  • Called up from minors
    Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Knight has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Checkers, logging action in 45 regular-season contests in which he posted a 25-14-5 record and .905 save percentage. Even with his promotion, Knight shouldn't be expected to get into any games, primarily serving as an emergency option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz. Rotowire.com Today, 12:50 pm
     
  • Set to start Thursday
    Swayman is slated to tend the twine on the road in Game 6 against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Swayman has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage while going 3-2-0. After the Game 5 loss, there was certainly a chance the Bruins would turn back to Linus Ullmark, however, it seems they will continue to ride Swayman into Game 6. Rotowire.com Today, 9:27 am
     
  • Slated to start Game 6
    Woll was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS,ca, indicating he will defend the home crease versus Boston on Thursday.

    Advice: Woll has been sensational versus the Bruins in the postseason, giving up one goal on 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime win Tuesday in Game 5, as well as stopping all five shots in Game 4, after replacing Ilya Samsonov to start the third period. Woll has seen action in 36 regular-season games in his NHL career, but he looked like a seasoned veteran in beating the Bruins on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:25 am
     
  • Falls to Edmonton
    Rittich allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

    Advice: Rittich and the Kings couldn't overcome Edmonton's three-goal second period in the series-deciding loss. The 31-year-old Rittich started the series' final two games, going 0-2-0 with an .872 save percentage, after Cam Talbot struggled in the first three games. Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. As a pending free agent, Rittich could seek out a starting role prior to the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Earns series-clinching win
    Skinner stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Los Angeles.

    Advice: It wasn't the busiest game for Skinner, but the 25-year-old netminder did just enough for the one-goal win as the Oilers took the series 4-1. After allowing nine goals on 63 shots in his first two games of the series, Skinner looked better in his last three contests, posting a .951 save percentage. Edmonton will now get a few days off before they face the winner of the Vancouver-Nashville series in Round 2. Rotowire.com Today, 7:10 am
     
  • Sharp in Game 5 win
    Oettinger stopped 25 shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stars' first-round series.

    Advice: Both goals he allowed came in the first period, and Oettinger slammed the door shut over the final 40 minutes to give Dallas its third straight victory and put them on the brink of advancing to the second round. The 25-year-old netminder has a 2.31 GAA and .911 save percentage in his five starts this postseason, and he's given up exactly two goals in four straight outings. Oettinger will look to finish the job back in Vegas on Friday for Game 6. Rotowire.com Today, 6:53 am
     
  • Falls to Dallas in Game 5
    Hill made 22 saves Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Stars in Game 5 of the Golden Knights' first-round series.

    Advice: Two of Dallas' goals came on power plays, including Jason Robertson's game-winner in the second period, and Hill had little chance on the other in his first action so far this postseason. After taking a 2-0 lead in the series, Vegas has lost three straight games and faces elimination on home ice Friday. It's not clear whether Hill will be back between the pipes with the season on the line, or if coach Bruce Cassidy will turn back to Logan Thompson. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 am
     
  • Starting Game 5
    Oettinger will guard the home goal versus the Golden Knights in Wednesday's Game 5, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Oettinger recovered from losing the first two games of the series in Dallas by winning the next two in Vegas. He'll look to keep that momentum going back on home ice in a pivotal Game 5. Oettinger has allowed 10 goals on 108 shots over the first four contests of the first round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:02 pm
     
  • Set to start Wednesday
    Rittich is slated to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

    Advice: Rittich is getting his second straight start after saving 12 of 13 shots in a 1-0 loss to Edmonton in Game 4 on Sunday. Edmonton has a potent offense, which ranked fourth in the 2023-24 campaign with 3.56 goals per game, so the Oilers will probably fire considerably more shots in the upcoming tilt. Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:32 am
