  • Won't play Sunday
    Marchand (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Game 4 versus Florida on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Marchand will miss at least one contest after being injured in Friday's 6-2 Game 3 loss to the Panthers. He has racked up three goals and 10 points in 10 outings this postseason. Marchand could be replaced in the lineup by Danton Heinen (undisclosed), who has missed the past five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:41 am
     
  • Takes another loss
    Georgiev surrendered two goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Advice: Georgiev played better than the final score would indicate, but the Stars' overall game was too much for the Avalanche to handle. He's now lost consecutive contests for the first time this postseason. The 28-year-old is 5-3 with a 2.97 GAA and an .893 save percentage over eight playoff contests -- which is fairly similar to how he performed in the regular season. The Avalanche's offense is strong enough to avoid asking Georgiev to steal games, but he will need to be just a bit sharper in Monday's Game 4 to avoid putting his team on the brink of elimination.

  • Strong in Saturday's win
    Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Two goals each from Logan Stankoven and Tyler Seguin ended up being plenty of support for Oettinger to earn his second win in a row. The 25-year-old goalie has allowed eight goals over three starts in the second round, but his starting job isn't in any danger. He's now 6-4 with a 2.12 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 playoff outings. Look for Oettinger to get the nod again in Monday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:02 pm
     
  • Keeps season alive
    Andersen stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Andersen got the nod for Game 4 after Pyotr Kochetkov couldn't turn the Hurricanes' fortunes around in Game 3. Andersen didn't have a great performance Saturday, but he did just enough to keep Carolina's season alive for one more contest. The 34-year-old is now 5-3 with a 2.63 GAA and an .897 save percentage through eight playoff outings. It won't get easier moving forward, as the Hurricanes are still facing elimination as the series shifts back to New York for Game 5 on Monday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:24 pm
     
  • Set to start Saturday
    Georgiev will start at home in Saturday's Game 3 against Dallas, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

    Advice: Georgiev surrendered four goals on 31 shots en route to a 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2 on Thursday. He's 5-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .886 save percentage in seven playoff contests this year. He struggled in the regular season, too, posting a 3.02 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 63 outings, but he still finished with an impressive 38-18-5 record thanks to the Avalanche's potent offense.

  • Won't play in Game 4
    Chytil (illness) won't play versus Carolina in Game 4 on Saturday, according to Peter Baugh of The Athletic.

    Advice: Chytil returned from a head injury Thursday, logging a shot and a hit in 12:02 of ice time en route to a 3-2 overtime victory over the Hurricanes. However, he didn't join the Rangers for Saturday's morning skate, which is what first put his status into question. Jonny Brodzinski will draw into the lineup due to Chytil's absence.

  • Expected to face Rangers
    Andersen is set to guard the home goal against the Rangers in Game 4 on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    Advice: Andersen will return to the crease after Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday. The 34-year-old Andersen has a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage across seven playoff outings this year. The Rangers have made life difficult for opposing goaltenders by averaging 3.71 goals per contest during the 2024 postseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:37 pm

He earned two goals, 12 points, 56 shots on net, 123 blocked shots and 196 hits in 64 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:12 pm
