    • Pulled in Game 4 loss
      Bobrovsky allowed five goals on 16 shots in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

      Advice: Bobrovsky was pulled early in the second period after his worst game of the series so far. He's had one dud in each round, and the Panthers will hope that getting some time to clear his head Saturday will put him on track to bounce back in Game 5 on Tuesday. Bobrovsky saw a six-game winning streak come to an end, but the Panthers will have up to three more chances to secure the Stanley Cup. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:13 pm
       
    • Supplies pair of assists
      Draisaitl notched two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

      Advice: Draisaitl hadn't had much success in the Stanley Cup Finals before Saturday's matchup. He'd been held off the scoresheet for three straight contests before he broke through in Game 4. The 28-year-old is up to 30 points (15 on the power play) with 69 shots on net, 23 hits, 15 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 22 playoff appearances. Draisaitl rarely goes cold in the postseason, and if the Oilers are going to come back in the series, he'll likely be a big part of that. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:05 pm
       
    • Set to start Game 4
      Bobrovsky will guard the road net in Game 4 against Edmonton on Saturday, per Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida.

      Advice: Bobrovsky has stopped 151 of 160 shots during his six-game winning streak. If he wins again Saturday, the Panthers will hoist the Stanley Cup, and he could earn the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Bobrovsky has a 15-5 record this postseason with a 2.07 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 20 outings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:03 am
       
    • Provides helper Thursday
      Forsling notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Forsling had gone three games without a point before he got the primary assist on Sam Reinhart's first-period tally. While he's put up solid offense, Forsling's excellent defense has been his calling card in the playoffs. The 28-year-old blueliner is at 12 points, a plus-15 rating, 45 shots on net, 38 hits and 26 blocked shots through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:31 pm
       
    • Holds on for Game 3 win
      Bobrovsky stopped 32 of 35 shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Bobrovsky collected his sixth straight win, though this one was a little less comfortable than the previous two games. The Panthers established a 4-1 lead after two periods, but the Oilers scored twice in the third to make it close. Bobrovsky has put the Panthers a game away from winning the Stanley Cup, and he's gone 15-5 with a 2.07 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 20 playoff outings. He and the Panthers will attempt to complete the sweep in Game 4 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:08 pm
       
    • Agrees to one-year deal
      Kakko signed a one-year, $2.4 million contract with the Rangers on Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Kakko was set to become a restricted free agent in July after completing his two-year, $4.2 million contract. He struggled in 2023-24, recording just 13 goals and 19 points across 61 regular-season contests after setting career highs with 18 goals and 40 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2022-23. The 23-year-old can't be counted out, but he certainly hasn't lived up to his potential after being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. Look for him to open next season as a part of the Rangers' middle six. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:08 pm
       
    • Starting Game 3
      Bobrovsky will guard the road goal in Game 3 versus the Oilers on Thursday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.

      Advice: Bobrovsky has been spectacular through the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals, picking up back-to-back wins while posting an exceptional 0.50 GAA and .980 save percentage. The Oilers have gone 6-3 at home this postseason, and they'll undoubtedly be desperate to try to avoid falling into a 3-0 series hole, so Bob could face his toughest test yet from Edmonton on Thursday.

    • Nabs helper in win
      Ekman-Larsson garnered an assist in a 4-1 Game 2 victory over Edmonton on Monday.

      Advice: Ekman-Larsson was able to end a 10-game pointless streak dating back to May 10 versus Boston. Despite the helper, the blueliner remains mired in a 15-game goal drought, during which he's registered a mere 17 shots on net. Even with his limited production, Ekman-Larsson continues to see opportunities with the No. 2 power-play unit. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:38 am
       
    • Light workload in Game 2
      Bobrovsky made 18 saves on 19 shots in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

      Advice: Bobrovsky is now two wins away from helping the Panthers raise the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. The 35-year-old has won five consecutive contests while not allowing more than two goals in a game during that span. Bob has been beaten by Edmonton only once in the series, making a total of 50 saves on 51 shots. The Russian netminder has lost consecutive outings just once this postseason, so it'll be an uphill battle for the Oilers going forward. Bobrovsky is 14-5 with a 2.02 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 19 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:09 am
