  • Game-time decision Saturday
    Per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News, Marchment (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision against Vegas on Saturday in Game 3, according to coach Peter DeBoer.

    Advice: Marchment was injured in the third period Wednesday and did not return. Marchment set career highs in goals (22) and assists (31) over 81 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Should he be unable to go, Mavrik Bourque could enter the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
     
  • Not playing Saturday
    Martin (lower body) won't play Saturday in Game 4 versus Carolina, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Advice: Martin played through the injury in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes, logging just 8:16 of ice time. He has 16 PIM, seven hits and three blocked shots over three outings this postseason. Martin will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Ruslan Iskhakov. Rotowire.com Today, 9:50 am
     
  • Recalled from Manitoba
    Jonsson-Fjallby was recalled from AHL Manitoba on Saturday.

    Advice: Jonsson-Fjallby had two goals and five points in 26 games with the Jets this year. The 26-year-old winger will likely serve as a depth option for Winnipeg going forward in the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 9:10 am
     
  • Nearing return to ice
    Per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun, McMann (lower body) is getting closer to returning to practice, according to coach Sheldon Keefe.

    Advice: McMann missed the last two games of the regular season and will miss his fourth straight playoff contest Saturday after being injured versus Detroit on April 13. McMann was a pleasant surprise during the 2023-24 campaign, racking up 15 goals, nine assists and 117 hits in 56 appearances. He remains a possibility to return to action in the latter part of the opening round versus the Bruins. Rotowire.com Today, 8:24 am
     
  • Generates helper
    Byfield provided an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Byfield has four helpers and a plus-5 rating over three playoff contests. The 21-year-old is seeing steady top-six minutes, though this was the first time in three games he started on the top line. Byfield can offer offense with a little physicality, but it's yet to be seen if reuniting him with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe will be the adjustment the Kings need to keep pace in this first-round series.

  • Supplies trio of helpers
    Nugent-Hopkins registered three assists in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Two of the three helpers came on the power play. Nugent-Hopkins is up to four points (three on the power play), five shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating through three playoff contests. The winger continues to play in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit, which should lead to plenty of chances in an offense that's racked up 17 goals over three games.

  • Active presence in Game 3 win
    Kane scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added 15 PIM and logged three hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Kane helped out on a Leon Draisaitl tally in the first period, scored a goal of his own in the second and then fought Andreas Englund to complete the Gordie Howe hat trick in the third. This was a classic Kane performance in a nutshell, with offense and physicality in equal parts. He's collected 11 hits, 14 shots on net, 15 PIM and two points through three playoff outings after being cleared following a three-game absence due to a sports hernia at the end of the regular season.

  • Strikes twice Friday
    Hyman scored two goals on four shots and added five hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Hyman opened the scoring at 6:42 of the first period and added a power-play marker in the third. The winger has six goals, one assist, 15 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over three playoff contests. Hyman continues to be a perfect fit on the top line and first power-play unit as he racks up big scoring numbers for the Oilers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:25 pm
     
  • Three-point effort in Game 3 win
    Draisaitl scored twice on four shots, added an assist, went plus-2, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Draisaitl's first goal was at even strength, while his other two points were on the power play. The 28-year-old has been in peak form with three goals, four helpers, 15 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through three playoff contests. With the Oilers leading the series 2-1, Draisaitl is likely to remain on the second line rather than moving up to play alongside Connor McDavid. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:22 pm
