  • One of each in Game 5 win
    Manson scored an empty-net goal, added an assist, went plus-2, logged two hits and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Jets in Game 5.

    Advice: Manson racked up five points and a plus-5 rating over five first-round contests. He also had 13 shots on net, 14 hits and seven blocked shots. The 32-year-old defenseman is showing his value at both ends of the ice while playing in a top-four role this postseason. Manson should return solid value in DFS play once the Avalanche's playoff run resumes in the second round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:16 pm
     
  • Being checked for injury
    DeAngelo went for X-rays after taking a slash Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Islanders, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: DeAngelo was able to return after the incident, but the Hurricanes will give him further evaluation after clinching their first-round series win. The defenseman had no points in three outings after replacing Brett Pesce (lower body) in the lineup. DeAngelo's status should be updated before the start of the Hurricanes' second-round series versus the Rangers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:15 pm
     
  • Out due to illness
    Schenn (illness) will miss Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Canucks.

    Advice: Schenn was a surprise scratch before warmups, and this explains why. Tyson Barrie will enter the lineup in a bottom-four role to cover for Schenn's absence. If the Predators lose Tuesday, Schenn will have to wait until next season to play again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:06 pm
     
  • Expected to have wrist surgery
    Chabot is slated to undergo offseason wrist surgery, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Tuesday.

    Advice: Chabot could have the procedure in the coming weeks, and his recovery time is expected to be in the range of two-to-three months. That should put him on track to participate in training camp. The 27-year-old defender registered nine goals, 30 points, 118 shots on net, 44 hits and 88 blocked shots in 51 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm
     
  • Leaves Player Assistance Program
    Bear (personal) has been cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports Tuesday.

    Advice: Bear logged 24 games for Washington this season in which he registered one goal and three assists while averaging a career-low 14:54 of ice time. With one year remaining on his contract, Bear should be back with Washington next season, though he may be hard-pressed to force his way into the lineup on a nightly basis.

  • Sent down to AHL
    Crozier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

    Advice: Crozier played in three of the four playoff games for Tampa Bay against the Panthers, recording four shots on goal and five hits. The 24-year-old played in 13 regular-season games, logging two assists and 13 shots on goal. He will look to propel AHL Syracuse to a potential Calder Cup Championship.

  • Scores goal, assist in win
    Makar scored a goal on three shots and picked up an assist in Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 win over the Jets.

    Advice: Makar has points in six straight games, racking up a combined three goals and eight assists, including five power-play points. During the regular season, the defenseman notched a career-high 90 points but still finished second behind Quinn Hughes for the NHL lead among blueliners. If the Avalanche make a deep run into the postseason, Makar could be in contention for the Conn Smythe trophy, especially if he continues to produce at this level. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:23 am
     
  • Generates helper
    Carrier picked up an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Carrier helped out on a Mark Jankowski goal in the first period. Carrier has a helper in each of the last two games, and he's added two hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over four playoff outings. The 27-year-old continues to fill a top-four role as a mainly defensive presence, so he shouldn't be expected to put up many points. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:34 pm
     
  • Manages assist in loss
    Josi posted an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4.

    Advice: Josi has two helpers over four playoff contests after closing out the regular season with 24 points over his last 20 games. The 33-year-old has maintained his top-pairing role, contributing eight blocked shots, three hits and six shots on net. Josi will need to step up at both ends of the ice if the Predators are to stave off elimination in Tuesday's Game 5. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:29 pm
