  • Dealt to Ottawa
    Boston traded Ullmark to the Senators for Joonas Korpisalo, Mark Kastelic and a 2024 first-round pick Monday.

    Advice: Ullmark will head to Ottawa with one year remaining on his contract, but it seems likely that the team will look to work out an extension. He won the Vezina Trophy during the 2022-23 campaign with just 49 regular-season appearances and split the workload with Jeremy Swayman again for most of this season, producing a .915 save percentage and a 2.58 GAA in the process. With Korpisalo heading to the Bruins, Ullmark should see more action during the 2024-25 campaign while Anton Forsberg serves as the backup. Ullmark appeared in just two of Boston's 13 postseason games. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:52 pm
     
  • Agrees to one-year deal
    Bussi signed a one-year, two-way contract with Boston on Monday.

    Advice: Bussi posted a 23-10-5 record with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 41 regular-season games with AHL Providence in 2023-24. The 25-year-old netminder doesn't have any NHL experience yet. He will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors, though that could change if the Bruins make a trade involving a goaltender. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:26 pm
     
  • Guarding cage in Game 7
    Skinner will be between the pipes for Game 7 on the road against the Panthers on Monday.

    Advice: Skinner and the Oilers will be looking for a fourth consecutive win and the Stanley Cup title in Monday's matchup. Over the last three outings, the 25-year-old netminder is sporting a 1.67 GAA and .942 save percentage. The Edmonton-born netminder will go up against Sergei Bobrovsky in the other crease in the final game of the 2023-24 campaign. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:23 am
     
  • Tending twine in Game 7
    Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease Monday in Game 7 against Edmonton, according to Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post.

    Advice: Bobrovsky will be back on the ice for Monday's morning skate after skipping Sunday's session for routine-related reasons. He has surrendered 12 goals on 58 shots during his three-game losing streak. Bobrovsky needs to end that skid Monday for the Panthers to avoid becoming the second team in NHL history to blow a 3-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. The 35-year-old netminder has a 15-8 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 23 starts this postseason. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:43 pm
     
  • Takes third straight loss
    Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 19 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Advice: The Oilers didn't dominate early in the game, but they converted their chances while limiting the Panthers' offense over the first two periods. Bobrovsky ultimately wasn't up to the task, and he's now allowed 15 goals over his last four games, with losses in each of the last three. He'll presumably have one more chance to secure the Stanley Cup for the Panthers in Monday's Game 7 on home ice, as it's unlikely head coach Paul Maurice will switch to backup Anthony Stolarz for the winner-take-all contest.

  • Helps force Game 7
    Skinner stopped 20 of 21 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Skinner rattled off his third straight win to dig the Oilers out of a 3-0 series deficit. This victory sends the series to Florida one more time for Game 7 on Monday. Skinner has yet to win four games in a row this postseason -- the last time he did so was Feb. 26-March 5 during the regular season. The 25-year-old goalie's performance while helping to pull the Oilers back from the brink makes it a virtual guarantee he'll get the nod for Monday's winner-take-all contest.

  • Guarding goal in Game 6
    Bobrovsky will defend the road crease in Edmonton on Friday, Mike Cugno of CBS Miami reports.

    Advice: Bobrovsky has really struggled the last two games, giving up nine goals on 39 shots (.769 save percentage). Overall, the netminder is 15-7 with a 2.35 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 22 playoff appearances. Bobrovsky was on a six-game winning streak prior to losing the past two contests.

  • Ready to rock in 2024-25
    General manager Steve Yzerman said Friday that Husso (lower body) will be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season, Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside reports.

    Advice: Husso played only once after Dec. 20, as he suffered a recurrence Feb. 13 when he gave up one goal on seven shots before being removed against the Oilers. He is now considered healthy and is set to battle Alex Lyon for the No. 1 job with the Red Wings next season, though Yzerman did say that he will look at the goalie market come the start of free agency.

  • Dealing with cut finger
    Lyon suffered a cut finger at the 2024 IIHF World Championship in May, per Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside.

    Advice: Lyon was representing the United States in Czechia. He will not require surgery and is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp in September. Lyon will battle Ville Husso for the top job with the Red Wings in 2024-25 -- Lyon went 21-18-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 44 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.
