  • Dealing with tendon injury
    Tanev (ankle) is recovering from a tendon injury, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Friday.

    Advice: Tanev had two goals, 19 points, 24 PIM, 45 hits and 207 blocks in 75 regular-season outings between Calgary and Dallas in 2023-24. He also recorded two assists, 30 hits and 73 blocks across 19 playoff contests with the Stars. He played in two contests after suffering the injury in Game 4 versus Edmonton, so he should be fine for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. The 34-year-old is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in July. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:29 pm

  • Picks up assist
    Foegele logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.

    Advice: Foegele has a goal and two helpers during his three-game point streak. He was shuffled up to the top line at even strength for this contest, though he was limited to 12:59 of ice time. Foegele has just six points to go with 31 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-6 rating over 20 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:12 pm
     
  • Adds insurance marker
    McLeod scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: McLeod tacked on a goal late in the third period. He's scored in consecutive contests for the first time since December. Through 21 playoff outings, the 24-year-old has just three goals with 22 shots on net, 26 hits and a minus-5 rating. Given his lack of production, it's no surprise he remains in a bottom-six role with minimal power-play time. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:58 pm
     
  • Two points in win
    Janmark scored a shorthanded goal, logged an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Janmark made his impact early Saturday, scoring the opening goal and setting up Adam Henrique on the Oilers' second tally. Prior to Saturday, Janmark had gone without a point in his previous five games. The winger contributed three goals, three assists, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating over 22 playoff contests in a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:47 pm
