    • Pots goal in Game 4 win
      Nurse scored a goal on six shots, blocked five shots, added four PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

      Advice: There's been little to like from Nurse's game this postseason, but he was at his best, aside from the penalties, in Saturday's big win. The defenseman has just five points through 22 playoff contests, and he's still at a minus-11 rating. He's remained a physical force on the blue line with 46 hits and 55 blocks.

    • Collects assist in loss
      Nurse notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: Nurse was questionable heading into Thursday's game after leaving Monday's Game 1 with a hip injury. The 29-year-old defenseman snapped his four-game slump with a helper on a Philip Broberg tally in the third period. Nurse has underwhelmed this postseason with four helpers, a minus-14 rating, 50 blocked shots, 45 hits and 32 shots on net through 21 appearances, though he remains in a top-four role.

    • Contributes helper in win
      Tkachuk notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Tkachuk ended his four-game point drought by setting up Sam Bennett's goal in the second period. It's been eight games since Tkachuk has scored a goal of his own, but he's continued to provide a physical impact even with the lack of offense. He's produced five goals, 15 assists, 73 shots on net, 55 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:26 pm
       
    • Recovering from sports hernia
      Couturier said he's recovering from a "little sports hernia surgery, lower abs," Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports Thursday.

      Advice: Couturier was limited to a goal and eight points over his final 33 contests in 2023-24 after supplying 10 goals and 30 points across his first 41 appearances. Although it's not clear how long he was dealing with a sports hernia, the injury might help explain his steep decline in offensive production in the second half of the campaign. The 31-year-old will look to rebound next season, but injuries have been a recurring problem -- he missed the entire 2022-23 campaign due to injury and was limited to 29 games in 2021-22.

    • Slated to play in Game 3
      Nurse (hip) is expected to play in Game 3 against Florida on Thursday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

      Advice: Nurse was initially questionable after sustaining a hip injury during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers, and that concern only grew after he missed Wednesday's practice, per Reid Wilkins of 630 CHED. However, coach Kris Knoblauch expects the 29-year-old Nurse to be available Thursday. Nurse has struggled in the 2024 playoffs, recording just three assists and posting a terrible minus-15 rating over 20 appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:32 am
       
    • Game 3 status uncertain
      Nurse, who reportedly suffered a hip injury in Game 2 on Monday, is still being evaluated. Coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters, "Haven't spoken to our medical staff. I'll be seeing them in about 15 minutes, and I'll get their report," per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

      Advice: Nurse offered little in the way of fantasy impact in Game 2, posting zero shots, zero hits and just one block in his limited 4:20 of ice time. If the veteran blueliner can't go Thursday for Game 3, Cody Ceci figures to rejoin the lineup after serving as a healthy scratch Monday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:27 am
