  • Ruled out against Bolts
    Lomberg is under the weather and will be sidelined versus Tampa Bay for Game 2 on Tuesday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.

    Advice: Lomberg is pointless in 14 straight contests, so his absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on fantasy players. With Lomberg unavailable, Steven Lorentz will come back into the lineup after having been a healthy scratch for the Cats' previous two contests. Rotowire.com Today, 8:27 am
     
  • Scores in Game 2
    Teravainen notched a power-play goal in Monday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.

    Advice: Teravainen got Carolina on the board midway through the second period, burying a Jake Guentzel feed on the man advantage to cut the Islanders' lead to 3-1 in the eventual comeback victory. Teravainen came into the playoffs with some scoring momentum, tallying four goals and five points in his final three regular-season games. The 29-year-old winger finished the campaign with 25 goals, a career high, and 53 points across 76 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:30 am
     
  • Racks up penalty minutes
    Noesen recorded 17 penalty minutes in a 5-3 win in Game 2 against the Islanders on Monday.

    Advice: Noesen spent five minutes in the box in the first period after dropping the gloves against Kyle MacLean before also snagging a 10-minute misconduct in the final minute of the game. The 31-year-old Noesen ended the regular season on a 20-game goal drought before finding the back of the net in Game 1. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting consistent offensive production out of the Texas native. Rotowire.com Today, 7:30 am
     
  • Undergoes shoulder surgery
    Meier will have arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder but is expected to be ready for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, the Devils announced Tuesday.

    Advice: Despite several injury concerns, Meier still managed to rack up 28 goals and 24 helpers in 69 games this season, including 17 power-play points. The Swiss international should be a near-lock to maintain a top-six role playing alongside Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes (shoulder) next season where he can offer top-end fantasy value.

  • Nets game-winner
    Martinook scored a goal on a team-high five shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.

    Advice: After Sebastian Aho tied the game with Carolina's net empty in the third period, Martinook put the Canes ahead 4-3 just nine seconds later, sliding a puck past the near post after Semyon Varlamov lost track of the play. The 31-year-old Martinook was a solid source of secondary scoring in Carolina's bottom six this year, tallying 14 goals and 32 points in 82 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:23 am
     
  • Two helpers in Game 2 win
    Svechnikov notched a pair of assists in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Islanders.

    Advice: Svechnikov set up Sebastian Aho's game-tying marker late in the third period before grabbing a second helper on Jake Guentzel's empty-netter that sealed Carolina's 5-3 victory. The 24-year-old Svechnikov was held off the scoresheet in Game 1, though he finished the regular season with six points (two goals, four assists) in his final four contests. He tallied 19 goals and 52 points across 59 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
     
  • Scores goal, assist in win
    Guentzel scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in Monday's 5-3 Game 2 victory over the Islanders.

    Advice: Guentzel was also given a 10-minute misconduct late in the third period as the game got a little chippy at the end. It was a strong bounce-back performance for the 29-year-old winger after having been held off the scoresheet in Game 1 while failing to record a shot for just the second time all season.

  • Notches assist in Game 2 win
    Bertuzzi emerged with a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Bruins for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.

    Advice: Bertuzzi, who was with Boston this time last year, nearly had a two-point night, but what initially appeared to be a power-play tally from the winger ended up getting overturned since he knocked the puck with a high stick during the play. Still, in a matter of minutes, he found John Tavares with a primary apple on the man advantage for the game-tying goal. Bertuzzi's fiery playing style works well in a playoff setting, but it will be important for him to stay aggressive without losing his cool and getting whistled for costly penalties.

  • Pockets helper
    Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Byfield set up an Adrian Kempe tally in the second period. An unsteady end to the campaign saw Byfield pick up two points in the regular-season finale following a 19-game goal drought in which he earned six assists. The 21-year-old had 55 points over 80 contests overall, but it's possible he's feeling the wear and tear of a full-length NHL season, which could limit his effectiveness in the playoffs.
