    • Otherwordly performance in loss
      Shesterkin turned aside 37 of 40 shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 4.

      Advice: Shesterkin was excellent in Tuesday's loss, but he couldn't carry New York to a two-game series lead. He was beaten on a perfect shot in overtime by Florida's Sam Reinhart after New York had a defensive breakdown leading up to the goal. Shesterkin has been busy during the postseason -- he's faced at least 25 shots on goal in 13 of 14 of his playoff appearances this year. The 28-year-old has also seen more rubber in each subsequent game of this series, although the last three contests have gone to overtime. So far this postseason, Shesterkin is 10-4 with a 2.33 GAA and a .925 save percentage. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:18 pm

      Shesterkin is set to start on the road versus the Panthers in Game 4 on Tuesday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Shesterkin has won his last two contests after dropping Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He's now 10-3 with a 2.33 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 13 playoff outings. A win for Shesterkin and the Rangers on Tuesday would put them one victory away from making the Stanley Cup Finals. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:43 pm

      Benn logged two assists in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Benn has two goals and four helpers during his current four-game point streak, with all of that offense coming at even strength. The 34-year-old helped out on Wyatt Johnston's go-ahead goal in the second period and Miro Heiskanen's empty-netter in the third. Benn is up to 13 points, 34 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-3 rating through 16 playoff contests as a reliable veteran in a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:02 pm

      Johnston scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: The goal was Johnston's first in five games, and he was held off the scoresheet in three of his previous four outings. The center's tally gave the Stars a 3-2 lead in the second period. The 21-year-old is up to eight goals, six assists, 51 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 16 playoff appearances. Johnston's strong play all over the ice has carried over from the regular season as he cements his status as one of the Stars' top forwards. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:51 pm
       
    • Strikes twice on power play
      Reinhart scored a pair of power-play goals on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

      Advice: Reinhart had 27 power-play tallies in the regular season, but these were just his second and third goals with the man advantage during the playoffs. The 28-year-old ended a three-game slump Sunday and is now at seven markers, 11 points, 58 shots on net, 34 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 playoff appearances. Even with the diminished offense, Reinhart's skill set makes him a threat for a big game at any moment, especially as he remains in his usual top-line and first power-play unit roles.

    • Makes 33 saves in win
      Shesterkin stopped 33 of 37 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

      Advice: The Panthers controlled the pace of play, but the Rangers countered with an opportunistic offense. Shesterkin gave up four goals for just the second time in 13 playoff appearances but came away with a second consecutive win to put the Rangers ahead 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. He's gone 10-3 with a 2.33 GAA and a .925 save percentage this postseason and has done his part to keep a strong Panthers offense mostly under control. It's a virtual guarantee Shesterkin will start again in Tuesday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:27 pm
