  • Bags apple in loss
    Mikkola logged an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Mikkola helped out on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the third period. The helper was Mikkola's first point in nine games since the start of the second round, though his lack of offense hasn't cost him a spot on the Panthers' second defense pairing. The 28-year-old has just three points to go with 11 shots on net, 43 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:16 pm
     
  • Nets goal in overtime loss
    Forsling scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Forsling's tally at 6:58 of the third period tied the game at 4-4, ultimately forcing overtime. He has three points over his last four contests and continues to provide valuable scoring depth from the blue line. The 27-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, six helpers, 33 shots on net, 26 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 14 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:08 pm
     
  • Garners helper in win
    Cuylle logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Cuylle snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old has seen a limited role in the Rangers' bottom six this postseason, picking up two points, 17 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 playoff appearances. He's got a steady spot in the lineup, but Cuylle shouldn't be counted on for significant offense. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:57 pm
     
  • Hands out helper Sunday
    Schneider recorded an assist, four hits, six blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Schneider set up the first of Barclay Goodrow's two goals in the game. This was Schneider's second point (both assists) this postseason. The 22-year-old blueliner has been a fixture on the Rangers' third pairing, adding 28 hits, 27 blocks, 12 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 13 playoff appearances.

  • Posts helper in Game 3 win
    Miller logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Miller has made modest contributions on offense with a goal and three assists over 13 playoff outings while maintaining his second-pairing spot. The defenseman set up the second of Alexis Lafreniere's goals in Sunday's game. Miller has added a physical element with 23 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating this postseason, but without much of a power-play role, his offense is unlikely to improve much.

  • Picks up assist in overtime win
    Roslovic recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Roslovic was credited with the secondary helper on Alexander Wennberg's tally in overtime. While he hasn't scored in nine games, Roslovic has picked up three assists over his last four contests. The 27-year-old winger began the playoffs in a top-line role, but he's now on the third line after Filip Chytil took his spot alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Roslovic is at eight points, 18 shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances, but his scoring chances are likely to be limited as long as he remains in the bottom six.

  • Registers two assists
    Lindgren notched two assists, six blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Lindgren was a standout defensively in this game, and he also made his impact on offense. He had the secondary helper on a Barclay Goodrow shorthanded tally in the second period before setting up Alexander Wennberg's game-winning goal at 5:35 of overtime. The rare multi-point effort gives Lindgren three helpers through 13 playoff contests, all of which have come in his last four games. He's added 17 hits, 19 blocks, four shots on net and a plus-2 rating while filling a top-four role as Adam Fox's defensive partner. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:47 pm
     
  • Close to return
    Henrique (ankle) is very close to being available to return to the lineup, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Oilers hope to have Henrique back in action against Dallas for Monday's Game 3 or Game 4 on Wednesday. Henrique participated in pregame warmups before missing his seventh straight contest in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. He has registered one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. The 34-year-old forward will probably occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit once he receives the green light to return. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:25 am
     
  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Brown scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Brown tallied just 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening tally in the first period, tying the game at 1-1. The Oilers' offense couldn't solve Jake Oettinger again. Brown's goal was his first tally and second point in eight playoff appearances. He's added five shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating while filling a bottom-six role with minimal ice time. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:14 pm
