  • Records 20th point of playoffs
    Trocheck supplied a helper in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Trocheck had the primary assist on Artemi Panarin's marker late in the third period, which cut Florida's lead to one. Trocheck did not record a shot on goal Saturday, but he did have a whopping 10 hits and a plus-1 rating in 23:59 of ice time, the most of any Rangers forward. The 30-year-old center had a fantastic postseason, finishing with eight goals and 20 points in 16 appearances. Trocheck doubled up on his previous career high in the playoffs -- he recorded 10 points during the 2021-22 season with Carolina. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:31 pm
     
  • Gives Rangers life in final minutes
    Panarin scored his fifth goal of the postseason in Saturday's 2-1 season-ending loss to Florida in Game 6.

    Advice: Panarin hadn't scored in eight consecutive contests prior to Saturday before cutting Florida's lead to one in the final minutes of Game 6. It was only his fourth point of the series after he produced 11 points in 10 outings across the first two rounds. The 32-year-old concludes the postseason with 15 points (five goals) and a minus-2 rating in 16 appearances. Panarin has two years remaining on his contract with the Rangers heading into the offseason. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:57 pm
     
  • Scores first of series
    Tarasenko scored a goal that stood as the game-winner in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Rangers in Game 6.

    Advice: Tarasenko registered his first point of the series when he gave Florida a 2-0 lead just before the midway point of the third period. The 32-year-old has faced his share of struggles during the postseason -- he was recently demoted to the third line after serving mostly in a top-six role since he was traded from Ottawa. He did have a crucial marker against his former club in Game 6, so perhaps this game serves as a confidence booster for Tarasenko ahead of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Russian native has three goals and three assists and a plus-4 rating in 17 postseason contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:22 pm
     
  • Assists on opening goal
    Rodrigues registered a primary helper in Saturday's 2-1 series-clinching win over the Rangers in Game 6.

    Advice: Rodrigues was back on the board in Saturday's win after being held off the scoresheet since Game 3. He added three shots on net in 15:14 of ice time. Rodrigues isn't relied upon much for offensive production, but he's currently slotted on Florida's second line with Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett. Rodrigues is up to three goals and five assists with an even plus-minus rating in 17 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:08 pm
     
  • Extends goal streak in win

Bennett added four shots, three hits, one block and a plus-1 rating in 15:27 of ice time Saturday night. The 27-year-old has elevated his game at a crucial point of the postseason -- he has goals in three straight contests and he finished this series with six points in as many games. Bennett is up to six goals, four assists and a plus-3 rating through 12 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:56 pm

    Draisaitl notched a power-play assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: Draisaitl set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second goal of the game, which stood as the game-winner. It's been a bit of a quiet round for Draisaitl, at least by his lofty standards, as he's posted three points over five contests against the Stars. For the playoffs, he's at 10 goals, 17 helpers, 57 shots on net, 17 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 17 outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:43 pm

    McDavid logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: McDavid helped out on the first of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' tallies in the contest. The 27-year-old McDavid is up to two goals and six assists over five games in the Western Conference Finals as he continues to lead by example on offense. He's picked up four goals, 25 helpers, 12 power-play points, 53 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-7 rating through 17 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:40 pm
     
  • Earns two power-play helpers
    Bouchard registered two power-play assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: This was Bouchard's first multi-point game in the Western Conference Finals, and it's likely no coincidence that it happened alongside the Oilers' power play coming back to life. The defenseman is up to 25 points (10 on the power play) through 17 playoff contests. He's added 53 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating while seeing a large role on the top pairing.
