  • Out of action Tuesday
    Myers (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Predators, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Advice: Myers has had success in a top-four role this season, so it's notable he's out of the lineup for this contest. The Canucks have not specified a reason for his absence. Noah Juulsen will draw into the lineup for Myers, who will aim to return Friday for Game 3. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Stacks up 26 goals
    Saad posted 26 goals and 16 assists across 82 games during the 2023-24 campaign.

    Advice: In his third season with St. Louis, Saad posted his second-best season with 26 goals, which was his most since posting 31 goals during the 2015-16 season with the Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old handled a middle-six role with the Blues this year along with consistent power-play time, and he'll carry similar duties next season. Saad has two years left on his contract, which carries a manageable $4.5 million yearly cap hit. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Tending twine in Game 2
    Saros will guard the road goal versus the Canucks on Tuesday in Game 2, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

    Advice: Saros will look to overcome his Game 1 loss, in which he allowed three goals on 20 shots, including a pair of tallies in a 12-second span in the third period. The 29-year-old has lost all three of his games versus the Canucks this season, allowing a total of 11 goals. His Predators teammates may find more room for offense Tuesday with Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) out and Casey DeSmith slated to start for Vancouver. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Rings up another 30-goal campaign
    Kyrou recorded 31 goals and 67 points -- 21 on the power play -- through 82 games during the 2023-24 season.

    Advice: Kyrou made some strides in his defensive game, as he finished minus-12 after registering minus-38 last year, but he still has work to do in that area. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old got red-hot down the stretch with 10 goals over the final 13 games to finish his second straight 30-goal season. Last year, he scored 37 goals. Kyrou will be a staple in the Blues offense for years to come, making him a coveted fantasy asset. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
