  • Generates helper
    Byfield provided an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Byfield has four helpers and a plus-5 rating over three playoff contests. The 21-year-old is seeing steady top-six minutes, though this was the first time in three games he started on the top line. Byfield can offer offense with a little physicality, but it's yet to be seen if reuniting him with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe will be the adjustment the Kings need to keep pace in this first-round series.

  • Strikes twice Friday
    Hyman scored two goals on four shots and added five hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Hyman opened the scoring at 6:42 of the first period and added a power-play marker in the third. The winger has six goals, one assist, 15 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over three playoff contests. Hyman continues to be a perfect fit on the top line and first power-play unit as he racks up big scoring numbers for the Oilers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:25 pm
     
  • Tallies in Game 3 loss
    Toffoli scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Toffoli snapped a three-game slump with his second-period marker. He's struggled to generate offense in the playoffs, with the Jets' lack of depth scoring becoming a problem as they trail the Avalanche 2-1 following Friday's loss. Toffoli has managed five shots on net, seven hits and a minus-2 rating through three playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 pm

He's added six shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating while playing in his familiar roles on the top line and first power-play unit.

Five of those points, as well as 16 shots on net and six hits, have come over three playoff outings.

  • Finds twine on power play
    Nichushkin scored a power-play goal on three shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Nichushkin has a goal in every playoff contest so far, and he's added 11 shots on net, seven hits and a minus-1 rating. Dating back to the regular season, the winger has five goals and an assist during a five-game point streak. He was on the top line Friday and should remain productive in that role if he stays there, though Zach Parise has also gotten looks in that spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:23 pm
     
  • Questionable for Saturday
    Nylander (undisclosed) said "I don't know" when asked Friday if he was playing in Game 4 versus Boston on Saturday, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Nylander was a full participant at practice Friday, including on the first power play. The Maple Leafs are really missing Nylander, who has sat out the first three games of the series. Nylander ended the regular season with 40 goals and 98 points in 82 games. He should be considered a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's tilt in Toronto. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:00 am
