  • Inks two-year deal
    Davidson agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Montreal on Friday.

    Advice: Davidson spent the 2023-24 season playing for AHL Laval on a minor-league-only contract, notching 11 goals and five assists in 38 games for the Rocket. Selected by the Montreal organization in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 21-year-old center will likely need some more time developing in the minors before getting a chance to make his NHL debut.

  • Provides assist in win
    Luostarinen notched an even-strength assist in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Rangers in Game 5.

    Advice: Luostarinen had been held off the scoresheet in seven consecutive outings before helping out on Anton Lundell's third-period tally. Luostarinen added two shots, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 16:15 of ice time. The 25-year-old has been struggling when it comes to finding the back of the net -- he has the lowest shooting percentage among Florida's forwards that have at least 20 shots on goal during the postseason. The Finland native has five points (one goal) and a plus-1 rating in 16 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 am
     
  • Back on scoresheet in win
    Lundell scored his third goal of the postseason in Thursday's 3-2 win over New York in Game 5.

    Advice: Lundell gave the Panthers the lead just after the midway point of the third period in Thursday's win. He was held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests prior to Game 5. The 22-year-old also had three shots on goal and a plus-1 rating in 14:05 of ice time. Lundell is back to centering the third line after a recent stretch on the second line -- his ice time has decreased as a result over the last two contests. On the positive side, Lundell is averaging 1:11 more of ice time during the postseason in comparison to the regular season, though Florida's numerous overtime games have boosted everyone's playoff ice totals. The middle-six center is tied for fifth in points on Florida during the playoffs with three goals, eight assists and a plus-6 rating in 16 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:45 am
     
  • Nets shortie Wednesday
    Janmark scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Janmark's goal at 14:31 of the second period was the first special-teams tally for either team in the series. It also stood as the game-winner as the Oilers evened the Western Conference Finals at two games apiece. The 31-year-old forward has been limited to a bottom-six role this postseason, earning four points, 13 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances while offering steady defensive play.

  • Responds well to scratch
    McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: McLeod was scratched for Game 3 after enduring a 19-game point drought that included all of the playoffs. The 24-year-old's exclusion from the lineup was a one-game thing, and he made good on an opportunity to return to action by scoring in the first period to begin the Oilers' comeback. McLeod had 30 points in 81 regular-season outings in a middle-six role. His main contributions come from speed and penalty killing, so he shouldn't be expected to generate steady offense moving forward. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:16 pm
     
  • Inks two-way deal
    Suzuki signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

    Advice: Suzuki was eligible to become a restricted free agent this summer after completing his entry-level contract. He had 14 goals and 30 points in 51 regular-season contests with AHL Springfield in 2023-24. The 23-year-old was selected with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, but he hasn't made his NHL debut yet. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:03 am
     
  • Slides helper in overtime loss
    Rodrigues notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on a Gustav Forsling tally in the third period. For the most part, Rodrigues has filled a depth role this postseason, earning seven points, 26 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-2 rating over 14 contests. The 30-year-old can fill in for top-six minutes when necessary, but with the Panthers at full health, he's likely to remain on the third line. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:15 pm
     
  • 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.

  • Nets game-winning goal
    Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Wennberg tallied 5:35 into the extra session to fend off the Panthers. This was the Rangers' second overtime win in a row, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Playing in a third-line role, Wennberg hasn't generated much on offense with two points through 13 playoff games, but he's added 17 blocked shots and 11 shots on net as a defensively responsible center.
