  • Slings helper in win
    Svechnikov registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Svechnikov is heating up with four points over his last three contests. He helped out on Brady Skjei's game-winning goal late in the third period Saturday. Svechnikov is up to nine points (two on the power play), 27 shots on net, 23 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating over nine playoff appearances. His best chance to contribute offense will be if he continues to play alongside Sebastian Aho and Jake Guentzel on the first line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:45 pm
     
  • Contributes helper in win
    Guentzel provided an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Guentzel has a point in all four games versus the Rangers, and he's been held off the scoresheet just twice in nine contests in the playoffs. The winger is up to four goals, five assists, 25 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating. Guentzel's top-line assignment and significant power-play role will make him a key player as the Hurricanes look to bounce back from their 3-1 series deficit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:38 pm
     
  • Dishes pair of helpers
    Teravainen recorded two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Teravainen set up a Stefan Noesen goal in the first period as well as Brady Skjei's power-play game-winner in the third. The 29-year-old Teravainen had been held off the scoresheet in the first three contests of the second round. The winger is up to six points, 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through nine playoff outings. He's been limited to middle-six minutes at even strength, but Teravainen is on the first power-play unit and has accumulated three points with the man advantage in the postseason.

  • Tallies in Saturday's win
    Noesen scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: The goal was Noesen's fourth of the postseason, though it was his first in four appearances in the second round. The 31-year-old has seen his ice time plummet during the playoffs, especially while serving in a fourth-line role against the Rangers. He's added 21 PIM, 12 hits and nine shots on net through nine playoff contests, but his limited ice time makes him a risky option for most DFS formats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:32 pm
     
  • Deemed day-to-day
    Marchand (upper body) was deemed day-to-day by coach Jim Montgomery on Saturday.

    Advice: Marchand was forced out of Friday's 6-2 Game 3 loss after taking a hit from Sam Bennett. The 36-year-old Marchand has three goals and 10 points in 10 games this postseason. He'll likely be a game-time decision prior to Game 4 on Sunday. Jesper Boqvist would likely reenter the lineup if Marchand ultimately can't play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 am
     
  • Heads to AHL
    Suzdalev was assigned to AHL Hershey on Saturday.

    Advice: Suzdalev had nine goals and 25 points in 30 games with the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL this year. The 20-year-old Suzdalev, a third-round draft pick in 2022, will join AHL Hershey as the Bears continue their playoff run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:06 am
     
  • Finds twine in loss
    Pettersson scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Pettersson opened the scoring at 4:14 of the first period. The tally was his first since April 10, and he managed just four helpers and 13 shots on net over the 10 contests between goals. Pettersson is at four points, 13 shots on net and 16 hits through eight postseason appearances, which is not great production from a top-six center who posted 34 goals and 89 points in the regular season.

  • Back in action
    Henrique (lower body) is in Friday's lineup for Game 2 against Vancouver, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

    Advice: Henrique will return to the lineup after missing Game 1 against the Canucks with a lower-body issue. He tallied two points in Game 1 against the Kings last round but hasn't scored a point in four games since. Henrique is expected to skate in a top-six role Friday. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:44 pm
     
  • Exits Friday's contest
    Marchand (upper body) was injured Friday in Game 3 against Florida and is not expected to return to the contest.

    Advice: Marchand racked up five hits through 10:51 of ice time prior to suffering the injury but he failed to record a shot or a point. The veteran winger tallied an assist in each of the first two games of the series but is currently stuck in a six-game goalless drought. An update on his status should be available before Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:15 pm
