  • Signs one-year deal
    Sanford signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Tuesday.

    Advice: Sanford provided six assists, 24 shots on goal, 19 blocked shots and 24 hits in 29 appearances between the Blackhawks and the Coyotes in 2023-24. The 29-year-old forward will be a depth player for Chicago next campaign but could spend most of the season in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 1:13 pm
     
  • Scores in return
    Henrique scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: Henrique missed seven games with an ankle injury and returned to a third-line role, playing 13:41 in this contest. He scored a goal late in the second period to tie the game at 3-3, but the Oilers' offense stopped there. Henrique has three points, five shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff appearances. He's played in a variety of spots in the Oilers' lineup -- if the team continues to struggle, he may be moved from third-line center to a top-six spot on the wing.

  • Good to go Monday
    Henrique (ankle) will play Monday in Game 3 against Dallas, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

    Advice: Following a seven-game absence, Henrique will replace Ryan McLeod in the lineup for Monday's contest. The 34-year-old Henrique has generated one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. He will probably occupy a middle-six spot and see power-play time on the second unit in his return to action. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:45 am
     
  • Slides helper in overtime loss
    Rodrigues notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on a Gustav Forsling tally in the third period. For the most part, Rodrigues has filled a depth role this postseason, earning seven points, 26 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-2 rating over 14 contests. The 30-year-old can fill in for top-six minutes when necessary, but with the Panthers at full health, he's likely to remain on the third line. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:15 pm
     
  • Garners helper in win
    Cuylle logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Cuylle snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old has seen a limited role in the Rangers' bottom six this postseason, picking up two points, 17 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 playoff appearances. He's got a steady spot in the lineup, but Cuylle shouldn't be counted on for significant offense. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:57 pm
     
  • Lands on waivers
    Gaunce was placed on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

    Advice: If he goes unclaimed, Gaunce will probably report to AHL Cleveland ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Hershey on Thursday. He picked up two goals and two assists in 24 NHL appearances with Columbus during the 2023-24 campaign. He also generated 19 goals and 39 points over 46 minor-league outings during the regular season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:30 pm
     
  • Close to return
    Henrique (ankle) is very close to being available to return to the lineup, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Oilers hope to have Henrique back in action against Dallas for Monday's Game 3 or Game 4 on Wednesday. Henrique participated in pregame warmups before missing his seventh straight contest in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. He has registered one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. The 34-year-old forward will probably occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit once he receives the green light to return. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:25 am
     
  • Puts up assist
    Foegele logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Foegele snapped an 11-game point drought dating back to Game 2 of the first round. The 28-year-old winger has a steady spot in the lineup, but he's seen a smaller role amid his slump. He has three points, 20 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-9 rating over 14 playoff appearances while primarily working in a third-line role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:16 pm
     
  • Unavailable Saturday
    Henrique (ankle) isn't expected to play in Game 2 against Dallas on Saturday, Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal reports.

    Advice: Henrique participated in pregame warmups but wasn't involved in line rushes. That suggests he is likely close to returning despite not being quite ready yet. The 34-year-old forward has a goal and an assist in six contests this playoffs. Henrique might receive a middle-six spot and have a role on the power play once he's healthy.
