• Delivers assist Monday
    Kulikov notched an assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Oilers in Game 7.

    Advice: Kulikov's only two points in the playoffs were both assists, and they came in the last two games. The defenseman added 56 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while playing in a bottom-pairing role over 24 postseason appearances. The 33-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, one of three regulars on the Panthers' blue line that could hit the open market July 1. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:10 pm
  • Pockets assist in Game 7 win
    Lundell registered an assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Oilers in Game 7.

    Advice: Lundell didn't score a goal in June, but he had six assists over eight contests. The 22-year-old center wrapped up the postseason with 17 points, 29 shots on net, 44 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating while playing in a key two-way role on the third line. He's set to be a restricted free agent this summer after reaching the end of his entry-level deal, and it's likely the Panthers find a way to keep him around. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:05 pm
  • Sent to Boston
    The Senators traded Kastelic (upper body), Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick to the Bruins in exchange for Linus Ullmark on Monday.

    Advice: Kastelic is currently set to become a restricted free agent after the 2024-25 campaign but will give the Bruins a cheap depth option for at least a year. The 25-year-old forward tallied five goals and 10 points while averaging 7:43 of ice time in 63 games last season. He'll compete for a bottom-six role in training camp. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:00 pm
  • Traded to Boston
    Korpisalo was traded from Ottawa to Boston along with Mark Kastelic and a 2024 first-round pick in exchange for Linus Ullmark on Monday.

    Advice: Just one year after signing a five-year, $20 million deal with the Senators, Korpisalo will now suit up for his fourth team in three years. He posted a 3.27 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 55 games in 2023-24. He's expected to take on a much lighter role behind Jeremy Swayman in Boston, as the latter is currently a restricted free agent. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:57 pm
  • Inks two-way contract
    McCartney signed a one-year, two-way deal with Utah on Monday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: McCartney has not seen any NHL action since dressing in two games with Arizona during the 2021-22 campaign. The 22-year-old winger tallied six goals and 22 points in 46 AHL appearances last season. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:37 pm
  • Agrees to one-year deal
    Bussi signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Monday.

    Advice: Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 41 regular-season games with AHL Providence in 2023-24. The 25-year-old netminder doesn't have any NHL experience yet. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, though that could change if the Bruins make a trade involving a goaltender. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:26 pm
     
  • Nabs helper in loss
    Kulikov posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: The helper was Kulikov's first point since April 4, ending a 27-game dry spell that had covered all of the Panthers' postseason run. While his offense has been absent, the 33-year-old blueliner has racked up 55 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 23 playoff appearances. He's been a fixture in a third-pairing role, though that's not one that comes with much ice time given the talented defensemen on the Panthers' roster. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:51 pm
