    • Stellar in Game 4
      Johnston scored two goals on eight shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Johnston opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal on a rebound in the first period. He added a power-play marker in the second and set up Sam Steel's empty-netter in the third. Johnston had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. That hasn't stopped him from looking like a standout for the Stars with seven goals, four assists, 39 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 11 playoff appearances. If Roope Hintz (upper body) misses time, Johnston could be a natural fit to take his spot on the top line. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 am
       
    • Assist in return to lineup
      Bennett (upper body) produced a primary assist in his return to the lineup in Friday's 6-2 Game 3 win over Boston.

      Advice: Bennett's return to the lineup paid immediate dividends for the Panthers -- the second-line center registered an assist on Vladimir Tarasenko's goal late in the second period. The 27-year-old Bennett also threw seven hits in 12:43 of ice time. Bennett's ice time will likely increase in the coming games as he readjusts to the pace of playoff hockey. Overall this postseason, Bennett has one goal and two assists in three games. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:32 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Bennett (upper body) will return to the lineup for Friday's Game 3 against the Bruins, Katie Engleson of Bally Sports Florida reports.

      Advice: Bennett was injured during Game 2 against the Lightning last round and went on to miss five straight games. He'll slide back into a top-six role alongside Carter Verhaeghe and Matthew Tkachuk on Friday. After scoring 20 goals and 41 points in the regular season, Bennett has two points through two playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:45 pm
       
    • Game-time call
      Bennett (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Friday's Game 3 versus the Bruins.

      Advice: Bennett picked up two points through the first two games of Florida's first-round series versus Tampa Bay before missing the team's next five contests with an upper-body injury. If he's able to return Friday, look for Bennett to center the second line while seeing time with the first power-play unit against Boston. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:50 am
       
    • Traveling with team
      Bennett (upper body) will make the trip to Boston ahead of Friday's Game 3 versus the Bruins, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Bennett practiced with the extras Thursday, and if he's able to get on the ice with the main squad for Friday's morning skate, there's a chance he'll be available for Game 3. Bennett picked up two points through the first two games of the Panthers' first-round series versus Tampa Bay before suffering his upper-body injury. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:57 am
       
    • Still sidelined
      Bennett (upper body) isn't on the ice for morning skate and isn't expected to be available for Wednesday's Game 2 against Boston, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

      Advice: Bennett will miss a fifth straight contest due to his upper-body injury. Anton Lundell, who's been hot with four helpers in his last five games, should continue to center the second line until Bennett is ready to return. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:46 am
       
    • Three points to open series
      Makar tallied a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 Game 1 overtime win over the Stars.

      Advice: Makar logged a pair of power-play points in the second period, setting up a Valeri Nichushkin marker before scoring later in the frame. Makar added a third point with another assist on Nathan MacKinnon's game-tying goal in the opening seconds of the third. The 25-year-old Makar has at least one point in all six of his postseason contests so far, totaling three goals and nine assists over that stretch. He posted 90 points (21 goals, 69 assists) in 77 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:19 am
       
    • Puts away opening goal
      Johnston scored a goal on four shots and added six hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

      Advice: Johnston capitalized on the Golden Knights botching a clearing attempt, taking the loose puck and scoring at 14:34 of the first period. The 20-year-old center finished the first round with four goals and three assists in seven contests, to go with 27 shots on net, 11 hits and an even plus-minus rating. He's played both as the third-line center and first-line right wing, giving the Stars a couple of roster constructions that work heading into the second round versus the Avalanche.

    • Out Monday
      Bennett (upper body) won't play Monday in Game 1 versus the Bruins, though he's labeled as day-to-day, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

      Advice: Bennett missed the final three games of Florida's opening-round series against the Lightning. While he'll miss the opening game of the second round, coach Paul Maurice said Bennett was "better than I hoped" following Sunday's morning skate. Bennett has a goal and an assist so far in the playoffs after tallying 20 goals and 41 points in the regular season. Rotowire.com May 5, 9:17 am
