• Generates assist
    Bertuzzi produced an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.

    Advice: Bertuzzi helped out on William Nylander's third-period tally. The 29-year-old Bertuzzi put up a goal, three assists, 21 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating over seven playoff contests as one of the Maple Leafs' more effective forwards. He's set for unrestricted free agency this summer, coming off a 43-point regular season and a one-year contract that paid him $5.5 million. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:32 pm
  • Adds helper in Game 7
    Van Riemsdyk logged an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

    Advice: Van Riemsdyk set up Hampus Lindholm's game-tying tally at 10:22 of the third period. The helper was van Riemsdyk's third point in five appearances in the first round. The winger added eight shots on net, seven hits and a plus-2 rating. He continues to play on the third line and second power-play unit, and it appears his offense has stabilized following a brutal drought at the end of the regular season.

Coach Jim Montgomery stated that Heinen's availability for the game will depend on how the 28-year-old forward feels later in the day. If Heinen is unavailable, John Beecher will take his place in the lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:56 am
  • Snags assist Friday
    Pettersson logged an assist in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.

    Advice: Pettersson failed to score a goal in the first round, and he's now gone nine contests without a tally. He showed some life with an assist in three of the last four games, but the Canucks will hope for a lot more from one of their top players entering a more difficult second-round matchup with the Oilers. In addition to the three assists, Pettersson had eight shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over six appearances in the first round. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:41 pm
