  • Adds assist in Game 1 loss
    Martinook notched an assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: The helper was Martinook's second point in six playoff outings. Martinook's filling a middle-six role as a checking winger, though that's an assignment that won't get him on the scoresheet regularly. He's added 12 shots on net and 10 hits during the postseason.

  • Garners helper
    Guentzel recorded a helper, five shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

    Advice: Guentzel helped out on a Jaccob Slavin tally in the first period. Through six playoff contests, Guentzel has a goal, four assists, 12 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He should continue to work in a top-line role, as Guentzel has displayed excellent chemistry with center Sebastian Aho since the winger was traded from the Penguins.

  • Sets up game-winner
    Lafreniere notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Lafreniere helped out on an Artemi Panarin goal in the third period, which stood as the game-winner. This was Lafreniere's fifth helper in as many postseason contests, though only two of them have come at even strength. Lafreniere has added nine shots on net, 10 hits and an even plus-minus rating while filling a middle-six role for the Rangers during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:55 pm
     
  • Contributes two power-play helpers
    Kreider logged two power-play assists and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Kreider earned his first multi-point effort of the playoffs by helping out on first-period tallies by Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck. The 33-year-old Kreider has been solid in the postseason with five points, 10 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over five contests. He provides a little grit and a strong net-front presence both on the power play and at even strength, in addition to playing significant shorthanded minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:51 pm
     
  • Scores in Sunday's win
    Panarin scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Panarin's third-period tally ended up being the game-winner, as the Rangers had to fend off the Hurricanes' late comeback attempt. Through five playoff contests, Panarin has three goals, one assist and 15 shots on net. The winger had a career-best 49 goals and 120 points in the regular season, but he may have trouble replicating such a high scoring pace against a defense as stout as the Hurricanes in the second round.

  • Out for Game 7
    Marchment (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's Game 7 against Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: This will be the fifth consecutive game Marchment has missed since suffering an injury in Game 2. Evgenii Dadonov should remain in a top-six role while Marchment is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:10 am
     
  • Generates assist
    Bertuzzi produced an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.

    Advice: Bertuzzi helped out on William Nylander's third-period tally. The 29-year-old Bertuzzi put up a goal, three assists, 21 shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-2 rating over seven playoff contests as one of the Maple Leafs' more effective forwards. He's set for unrestricted free agency this summer, coming off a 43-point regular season and a one-year contract that paid him $5.5 million. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:32 pm
     
  • Adds helper in Game 7
    Van Riemsdyk logged an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

    Advice: Van Riemsdyk set up Hampus Lindholm's game-tying tally at 10:22 of the third period. The helper was van Riemsdyk's third point in five appearances in the first round. The winger added eight shots on net, seven hits and a plus-2 rating. He continues to play on the third line and second power-play unit, and it appears his offense has stabilized following a brutal drought at the end of the regular season.

  • Not playing Saturday
    Heinen (undisclosed) won't play in Saturday's Game 7 versus the Maple Leafs, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

    Advice: Heinen will miss his second straight game with the injury, though he was labeled a game-time decision earlier Saturday by head coach Jim Montgomery. If Heinen is to play again this postseason, the Bruins will need to win Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:48 pm
