    • Scores first playoff goal
      Broberg scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Broberg's first career playoff goal stretched the Oilers' lead to 3-0 in the second period. The defenseman has played in each of the last two games, replacing Vincent Desharnais in a third-pairing role. With limited minutes, Broberg is unlikely to be a steady source of offense, and he also lacks the physicality that kept Desharnais in the lineup for so long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will play Friday in Game 5 against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured after blocking a shot in Game 4 on Wednesday but won't miss any additional time. He's tallied just one assist through 17 appearances this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 pm
       
    • Heading to Switzerland
      Larsson signed a two-year deal with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of Switzerland's National League on Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Friday.

      Advice: Larsson had seven goals, 33 points and 46 PIM in 61 regular-season contests with AHL Belleville in 2023-24. The 27-year-old has recorded three goals, 24 points and 52 PIM in 172 career NHL games, but he didn't play at the top level in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:30 pm
       
    • Game-time decision Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 versus Edmonton on Friday, though coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured blocking a shot Wednesday in the second period and was unable to return. Tanev is a stud defensively and if he is unable to go, the Stars will need to fill a big hole on the blue line. Lian Bichsel is poised to make his NHL debut if Tanev is unable to go.

    • Stays hot with goal
      Forsling scored his fourth goal of the postseason in Thursday's 3-2 win against New York in Game 5.

      Advice: Forsling extended his point streak to three games after tying Thursday's contest at one apiece in the first period. The 27-year-old defenseman added two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in 23:17 of ice time. Forsling now has at least one point in five of his last six appearances. He's first in scoring among Florida's blueliners during the playoffs -- his steady offensive production in this series has vaulted him past fellow defenseman Brandon Montour (nine points) for the team lead. Forsling is up to four goals, seven assists and a team-high plus-12 rating in 16 postseason contests to this point. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:41 am
       
    • Unlikely for Game 5
      Hakanpaa (lower body) is not expected to play in Friday's Game 5 versus the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Hakanpaa will miss his 31st straight game, though his absence is a bit more noticeable now with Chris Tanev (lower body) questionable for Game 5. Hakanpaa has been considered day-to-day throughout his absence, though he has not regularly skated during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:05 pm
       
    • Scores goal in loss
      Lindell scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: Lindell took a shot that banked in off Darnell Nurse for the Stars' second tally. The 30-year-old Lindell has two goals and a helper over his last three contests. He's played a larger role in the Western Conference Finals and was paired with Miro Heiskanen for Wednesday's game after most often being alongside Chris Tanev earlier in the postseason. Lindell has five points, 22 shots on net, 26 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 17 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:47 pm
       
    • Departs Wednesday's game
      Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.

      Advice: The Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.

    • On unconditional waivers
      Nousiainen was put on unconditional waivers by Los Angeles on Wednesday for the purpose of terminating his contract, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

      Advice: Nousiainen had nine assists in 52 regular-season contests with AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also registered two helpers in eight minor-league playoff outings. If the 23-year-old clears waivers as expected, he might return to his native Finland. Before signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings in March 2022, he spent parts of four seasons with the KalPa Kuopio of Finland's Liiga. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:21 pm
