  • Picks up two assists in Game 1
    Nugent-Hopkins registered two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver in Game 1.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins earned his third multi-point showing in the span of four contests. He's up to a goal and eight points in six playoff appearances this year. Nugent-Hopkins should continue to serve in a top-six capacity and on the Oilers' first power-play unit. His position with the man advantage is of particular importance to his production -- four of his eight points in the postseason have been recorded on the power play, including one of his assists in the series opener versus the Canucks.

  • 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 Yesterday, 8:57 am
     
  • Goal, assist in win
    Lindholm tallied a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Lindholm set up Dakota Joshua's tally 53 seconds into the first period before adding a goal later in the frame, flipping a backhander past Stuart Skinner to cut the deficit to 4-2. It's the second multi-point game of the postseason for Lindholm, who now has three goals and five points in seven playoff contests. He totaled 15 goals and 44 points in 75 games between Vancouver and Calgary during the regular season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:31 am
     
  • Three points in Game 1
    Joshua tallied a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Joshua got Vancouver on the board in the opening minute of the second period, beating Stuart Skinner off a rebound before adding a pair of assists later in the contest. The goal was Joshua's first since he scored a pair in the opening game of Vancouver's first-round matchup with Nashville. The 27-year-old winger now has three goals and seven points through seven games in the playoffs after tallying a career-high 32 points (18 goals, 14 assists) in 63 regular-season contests.

  • Sent down to minors
    Brown was reassigned to AHL Providence on Thursday.

    Advice: While Brown could technically be added to the roster ahead of Game 3 versus the Panthers on Friday, he seems more likely to suit up for Providence in their Calder Cup matchup with AHL Hartford on Friday. Still, the veteran center did log 8:27 of ice time in Game 1 and could see more opportunities with the Bruins during the best-of-seven series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:21 am
     
  • Four helpers in Game 2
    Reinhart recorded four assists in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Bruins in Game 2.

    Advice: Reinhart set up Aleksander Barkov's go-ahead goal in the second period before adding assists on all three of Florida's third-period goals. The 28-year-old Reinhart hadn't recorded an assist in his prior seven postseason games, though he had three goals in five games in the Panthers' opening-round series versus Tampa Bay. Reinhart posted 57 goals and 94 points, both career highs, in 82 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:08 pm

    Advice: Barkov powered the Panthers' offense in the convincing series-tying victory, putting Florida ahead 2-1 with a tally in the second period before adding another goal and two helpers in the third. The 28-year-old Barkov now has four goals and eight points in his last three games after going scoreless in his previous three contests. He's up to 10 points (four goals, six assists) through seven postseason contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:39 pm
     
  • Ready to rock for Game 1
    Pettersson (illness) will play Wednesday in Game 1 versus the Oilers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Pettersson should slot into his usual spots on the second line and first power-play unit Wednesday. The 25-year-old pivot was a bit pedestrian in the first round against the Predators, picking up just three helpers across six outings after racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season contests.

  • 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
