  • Propels Panthers in thriller
    Reinhart scored the game-winning goal in overtime in Tuesday's 3-2 win over New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Reinhart was the hero in South Florida on Tuesday night -- he buried a feed from Aleksander Barkov to send the series back to New York tied at two games apiece. It was Reinhart's fourth power-play goal of the postseason, three of which have come in the last two games. Reinhart has eight goals so far during the postseason which trails only Carter Verhaeghe (nine) for the lead for Florida. Reinhart is also tied for the team lead in power-play goals with four. The 28-year-old is fourth on the team in points during the postseason with eight goals and four assists in 15 appearances. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:52 pm
     
  • Otherwordly performance in loss
    Shesterkin turned aside 37 of 40 shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Shesterkin was excellent in Tuesday's loss, but he couldn't carry New York to a two-game series lead. He was beaten on a perfect shot in overtime by Florida's Sam Reinhart after New York had a defensive breakdown leading up to the goal. Shesterkin has been busy during the postseason -- he's faced at least 25 shots on goal in 13 of 14 of his playoff appearances this year. The 28-year-old has also seen more rubber in each subsequent game of this series, although the last three contests have gone to overtime. So far this postseason, Shesterkin is 10-4 with a 2.33 GAA and a .925 save percentage. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:18 pm

  • Strikes twice on power play
    Reinhart scored a pair of power-play goals on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Reinhart had 27 power-play tallies in the regular season, but these were just his second and third goals with the man advantage during the playoffs. The 28-year-old ended a three-game slump Sunday and is now at seven markers, 11 points, 58 shots on net, 34 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 playoff appearances. Even with the diminished offense, Reinhart's skill set makes him a threat for a big game at any moment, especially as he remains in his usual top-line and first power-play unit roles.

  • Provides pair of helpers
    Trocheck recorded two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

He's picked up seven goals, 11 assists, 37 shots on net, 47 hits, 13 blocks and a plus-2 rating while earning eight of his points on the power play. Look for the 30-year-old center to continue playing a significant role in the Rangers' top six and on the first power-play unit. Rotowire.com May 26, 6:42 pm
