    • 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 Friday, 9:39 pm
       
    • Agrees to one-year contract
      Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Friday.

      Advice: Smith was acquired by Carolina from Pittsburgh on March 7 as part of the trade that sent Jake Guentzel to the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old Smith was set to become a restricted free agent in July after completing a one-year deal. He had nine goals and 43 points in 63 regular-season contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. Smith didn't make an appearance at the top level last season, but he does have eight goals and 47 points in 123 career NHL games. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:50 pm
       
    • 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 Friday, 12:29 pm
       
    • Recovering from knee injury
      Hakanpaa's lower-body injury is a knee issue that required an arthroscopic procedure, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Friday.

      Advice: Hakanpaa didn't play past March 16 because of the injury. He had two goals, 12 points, 33 PIM, 196 hits and 123 blocks in 64 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Although there isn't a specific timetable for Hakanpaa's recovery, he's not expected to need further knee procedures. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:25 pm
       
    • Inks one-year deal

      Advice: Koch provided some extra aggression for AHL Tucson last year, recording 97 PIM and 15 points in 63 contests. He also appeared in one NHL game with the Coyotes while playing on his entry-level deal. Koch is likely just organizational depth on the blue line for Utah. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:01 pm
