    • Won't play Wednesday
      Hintz (upper body) will miss Wednesday's Game 5 versus Colorado, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

      Advice: Hintz has two goals and six points in nine playoff contests this year. Dallas would advance to the Western Conference Finals with one more victory, giving Hintz more time to rest before the Stars' schedule resumes. However, even if Colorado forces a Game 6 on Friday, the 27-year-old might still be an option given his current day-to-day status. In the meantime, Radek Faksa is projected to draw into the lineup against the Avalanche due to Hintz's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 8:44 am
       
    • Wins first playoff start
      Pickard stopped 19 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 4.

      Advice: Pickard received his first playoff start after making his postseason debut in relief of Stuart Skinner in Sunday's Game 3. Skinner's struggles have opened the door for Pickard to get a chance, and he nearly squandered it after giving up a goal late in the third period to Dakota Joshua. Evan Bouchard answered quickly to give the Oilers the win, which tied the series at two games apiece. Pickard went 12-7-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage over 23 regular-season outings. Tuesday's effort was far from dominant, but it might just be enough for the 32-year-old to get a longer look between the pipes with the series shifting back to Vancouver for Thursday's Game 5.

    • Keeps series going
      Swayman stopped 28 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

      Advice: Swayman snapped a three-game losing streak with the effort, which saw him allow the lone goal to Sam Reinhart in the second period. The Bruins still face an uphill battle, but it's likely to be Swayman who will have the chance to keep their season going. He's 6-5 over 11 playoff outings and has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of those contests. Game 6 is Friday in Boston. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Starting Game 5
      Swayman will protect the road goal versus the Panthers in Tuesday's Game 5, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Swayman has allowed 12 goals during his three-game losing streak, but head coach Jim Montgomery is sticking with the 25-year-old with the Bruins' season on the line. Through 10 playoff outings, Swayman has a 2.28 GAA and a .930 save percentage, though he has lost two of his last three road games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Undergoing testing
      Hintz (upper body) is still being evaluated ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against Colorado, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News.

      Advice: Hintz didn't return to Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4 after blocking a shot late in the first period. He has generated two goals, four assists, 13 shots on net and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason. If Hintz isn't available to play in Game 5, Radek Faksa or Ty Dellandrea could suit up in Wednesday's contest versus Colorado. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:30 am
       
    • First off ahead of Game 4
      Pickard was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease Tuesday in Game 4 versus Vancouver.

      Advice: Pickard will get his first NHL playoff start due to the struggles of Stuart Skinner. The 25-year-old Skinner has surrendered 12 goals on 58 shots en route to a 1-2 record during Edmonton's second-round series against the Canucks. Pickard posted a 12-7-1 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 23 outings during the 2023-24 regular season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:03 am
       
    • Supplies pair of assists
      Robertson notched two assists, four shots on goal, four hits and four blocked shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Robertson helped out on second-period tallies from Wyatt Johnston (on the power play) and Miro Heiskanen. While he hasn't scored in the second round, Robertson has five assists over four contests against the Avalanche. The winger is up to 10 points, 23 shots on net, 22 hits, 16 blocks and a minus-3 rating through 11 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:12 am
       
    • Injured Monday
      Hintz suffered an upper-body injury during Game 4 against Colorado on Monday.

      Advice: Hintz logged just 6:35 of ice time before exiting the contest. He's tallied two goals and six points through 11 playoff appearances after racking up 30 goals and 65 points during the regular season. An update on his status should be available before Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:06 pm
       
    • Makes relief appearance
      Pickard stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Stuart Skinner in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: This was Pickard's first playoff action this spring, and he did fairly well, though the Canucks were mostly nursing their lead while he was in the game. Head coach Kris Knoblauch didn't name a starter for Game 4 on Tuesday in his postgame comments, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, which leaves open the possibility Pickard could get a start now that the Oilers trail 2-1 in the series. The 32-year-old went 12-7-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 23 regular-season appearances as Skinner's backup this year. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:25 pm
