  • Inks three-year deal
    Turcotte signed a three-year, $2.325 million contract with the Kings on Saturday.

    Advice: It will be a two-way deal for Turcotte in Year 1 before shifting to a one-way agreement in Years 2 and 3. The 23-year-old forward produced 10 goals and 29 points in 35 regular-season contests with AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also notched one goal and three helpers in 20 regular-season outings with the Kings last campaign. Turcotte will compete for a bottom-six role with LA out of training camp in the fall.

  • Nabs helper in loss
    Kulikov posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: The helper was Kulikov's first point since April 4, ending a 27-game dry spell that had covered all of the Panthers' postseason run. While his offense has been absent, the 33-year-old blueliner has racked up 55 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 23 playoff appearances. He's been a fixture in a third-pairing role, though that's not one that comes with much ice time given the talented defensemen on the Panthers' roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:51 pm
     
  • Supplies helper
    Verhaeghe notched an assist and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: Verhaeghe has often been one of the Panthers' most clutch performers, but he's fallen flat in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second year in a row. He has just two points over six contests versus the Oilers. Overall, he's at 19 points, 76 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-7 rating through 23 playoff appearances.

  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Barkov scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.

    Advice: Barkov had a tally in the second period overturned on a review, as the play was offside. He eventually got a goal anyway, but the Panthers couldn't build off of it. The 28-year-old has five points over six games against the Oilers, but the Panthers' depth scoring has evaporated almost as quickly as their 3-0 series lead. Barkov is at 22 points, 57 shots on net, 50 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 23 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:46 pm
     
  • Takes third straight loss
    Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 19 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 6. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Advice: The Oilers didn't dominate early in the game, but they converted their chances while limiting the Panthers' offense over the first two periods. Bobrovsky ultimately wasn't up to the task, and he's now allowed 15 goals over his last four games, with losses in each of the last three. He'll presumably have one more chance to secure the Stanley Cup for the Panthers in Monday's Game 7 on home ice, as it's unlikely head coach Paul Maurice will switch to backup Anthony Stolarz for the winner-take-all contest.

  • Adds helper Friday
    Broberg registered an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Broberg has three points over nine appearances since he became a regular in the Oilers' lineup. More impressively, he's added a plus-8 rating and hasn't taken a minus in any of those contests. The defenseman has added 17 blocked shots and six shots on net while seeing bottom-four minutes and minimal power-play time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:41 pm
     
  • Pockets helper Friday
    Kulak recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Kulak has a helper in three of the last four games. The defenseman has been a surprising source of depth offense with eight points through 24 playoff contests after he logged just 16 points in 82 regular-season outings. He's added 45 blocks, 22 hits, 14 PIM, 21 shots on net and a minus-1 rating this postseason while skating on the third pairing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:39 pm
     
  • Posts assist in win
    Janmark recorded an assist, two shots on goal, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Janmark has stepped up with three points during the Oilers' three-game winning streak. The 31-year-old forward is up to seven points, including a pair of shorthanded goals, as well as 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 24 playoff appearances in a bottom-six role.

  • Provides helper in win
    Ekholm notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Ekholm has earned three points over six contests in the Stanley Cup Finals. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to 10 points, 41 shots on net, 28 hits, 44 blocks and a plus-9 rating through 24 outings this postseason. He remains a stalwart on the first pairing, though his commitment to defense has led to limited offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:33 pm
