  • Hands out helper
    Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game. Rotowire.com Today, 4:57 pm
     
  • Sets up game-winner
    Lafreniere notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Lafreniere helped out on an Artemi Panarin goal in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. This was Lafreniere's fifth helper in as many postseason contests, though only two of them have come at even strength. Lafreniere has added nine shots on net, 10 hits and an even plus-minus rating while filling a middle-six role for the Rangers during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 pm
     
  • Notches assist in win
    Fox logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Fox has a helper in each of the last three games after he was held off the scoresheet in the first two contests of the playoffs. The defenseman has added four shots on net, 15 blocked shots, five hits and a plus-2 rating. Fox will see a heavy workload on the Rangers' top pairing and first power-play unit, but he may have to focus more on defense since the Hurricanes boast a strong top six.

  • Contributes two power-play helpers
    Kreider logged two power-play assists and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Kreider earned his first multi-point effort of the playoffs by helping out on first-period tallies by Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck. The 33-year-old Kreider has been solid in the postseason with five points, 10 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over five contests. He provides a little grit and a strong net-front presence both on the power play and at even strength, and he also sees solid shorthanded minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 4:51 pm
     
  • Joins big club
    Brown was recalled from AHL Providence on Sunday.

    Advice: Brown hasn't dressed in an NHL game since Jan. 27. He tallied 11 goals and 32 points in 42 games with AHL Providence. The 31-year-old will provide some extra depth in Boston as the team begins its series against the Panthers on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:50 pm
     
  • Scores in Sunday's win
    Panarin scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Panarin's third-period tally ended up being the game-winner, as the Rangers had to fend off the Hurricanes' late comeback attempt. Through five playoff contests, Panarin has three goals, one assist and 15 shots on net. The winger had a career-best 49 goals and 120 points in the regular season, but he may have trouble replicating such a high scoring pace against a defense as stout as the Hurricanes in the second round.

  • Guarding goal in Game 1
    Andersen will guard the road net in Game 1 against the Rangers on Sunday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Advice: Andersen was superb in the first round of the postseason, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.25 GAA and a .912 save percentage against the Islanders. The Rangers rank fifth in the playoffs with 3.75 goals per contest. Rotowire.com Today, 12:34 pm
     
  • Three points to finish off Isles
    Jarvis scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in a 6-3 win over the Islanders on Tuesday in Game 5.

    Advice: The 22-year-old helped set up Carolina's first two tallies as the team grabbed a 2-0 lead inside the first four minutes of the first period. Jarvis then iced things late with an empty-netter. He piled up three goals and seven points in five games against the Isles, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the Hurricanes' second-round clash with the Rangers.

  • Punches ticket to next round
    Andersen made 22 saves Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Islanders in Game 5 of the Hurricanes' first-round series.

    Advice: Carolina never trailed in the game as they cruised into the second round. Andersen has a firm hold on the No. 1 job in net for the 'Canes after beginning the playoffs with a 4-1 record, 2.25 GAA and .912 save percentage, but he'll face a tougher test in the next round against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Rangers.
