• Scores goal, assist in win
    Guentzel scored a goal on two shots and picked up a power-play assist in Monday's 5-3 Game 2 victory over the Islanders.

    Advice: Guentzel was also given a 10-minute misconduct late in the third period as the game got a little chippy at the end. It was a strong bounce-back performance for the 29-year-old winger after having been held off the scoresheet in Game 1 while failing to record a shot for just the second time all season.

  • Secures two-year extension
    Fedotov agreed to terms on a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension with Philadelphia on Tuesday, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.

    Advice: Fedotov played just three games for the Flyers this season after coming over from the KHL, going 0-1-1 with a 4.96 GAA and .811 save percentage. With an extension in hand, it seems Fedotov and Samuel Ersson will battle it out for the starting gig during training camp in the fall. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
  • Suffers finger injury
    Peeke was unavailable for the third period of Game 2 against the Leafs on Monday due to an apparent finger injury, Jim McBride of the Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Peeke managed just 10:20 of ice time before being forced out of Monday's contest. If the defenseman is unable for Game 3 on Wednesday, the recently returned Derek Forbort (undisclosed) could be activated off long-term injured reserve. Alternatively, Parker Wotherspoon could be an option to slot into a spot on the blue line. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
  • Officially retires
    Voracek (concussion) officially announced his retirement Tuesday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Voracek hasn't played in an NHL game since Nov. 4, 2022, due to concussion concerns. The winger spent the entire year on LTIR while officially a member of the Arizona Coyotes, though he never played for the organization. Voracek will retire having logged 1058 games for the Flyers and Blue Jackets in which he tallied 223 goals and 583 assists. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
  • Lone helper not enough in Game 2
    Zacha added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.

    Advice: Zacha roused the home crowd with a spinning backhand pass to David Pastrnak for a one-timer that goalie Ilya Samsonov had virtually no chance of stopping. Unfortunately for Bruins fans, the top-line center was otherwise quiet in the contest, and Zacha's full minute on the man advantage didn't bear fruit. This is the lone playoff series with the teams tied, 1-1, after two games. Rotowire.com Today, 4:49 am
  • Notches assist in Game 2 win
    Bertuzzi emerged with a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Bruins for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.

    Advice: Bertuzzi, who was with Boston this time last year, nearly had a two-point night, but what initially appeared to be a power-play tally from the winger ended up getting overturned since he had the puck with a high stick during the play. Still, in a matter of minutes, he found John Tavares with a primary apple on the man advantage for the game-tying goal. Bertuzzi's fiery playing style works well in a playoff setting, but it will be important for him to stay aggressive without losing his cool and getting whistled for costly penalties.

  • Adds apple in loss
    Laferriere notched an assist, five shots on goal and eight hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Laferriere made an impact in his first playoff game -- he was tied for the team lead in hits and shots. The 22-year-old received a top-line assignment at even strength but saw just 11:29 of ice time. Laferriere had 23 points, 113 hits and 147 shots on net in 81 regular-season contests, so he should be able to provide some depth scoring in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:59 pm
