  • Two assists in loss
    Roy notched a pair of helpers in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Roy was able to bring a six-game pointless streak to a close with his two helpers but it wasn't enough to stave off elimination for Los Angeles. Unless the Kings can come to an agreement soon, the blueliner is set to be an unrestricted free agent July 1. Roy should have plenty of offers if he goes to the open market after reaching the 20-point mark for the third consecutive campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 11:28 am
     
  • Snags helper in Game 5
    Gavriokov picked up an assist in a 4-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Gavrikov ended the 2023-24 campaign stuck in a 17-game goal drought during which he put just 19 shots on net. During that stretch, the Russia blueliner did chip in five assists, including two in postseason action. Despite the slow end to the year, Gavrikov still managed to get back over the 20-point threshold after missing that mark last season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:23 am
     
  • Delivers helpers in loss
    Englund recorded an assist in Game 5's 4-3 defeat to Edmonton on Wednesday.

    Advice: Englund registered his first points since March 15 versus the Blackhawks, a stretch of 20 games without writing his name on the scoresheet. In 82 games this year, the 28-year-old blueliner managed one goal and nine helpers, reaching the 10-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy players probably shouldn't;t be expecting much more out of Englund heading into the 2024-25 campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 11:20 am
     
  • Remains day-to-day
    Schenn (illness) is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

    Advice: Schenn's status may not be determined until closer to puck drop Friday but the Preds recalled Kevin Gravel from AHL Milwaukee just in case. The 34-year-old blueliner isn't exactly an offensive dynamo considering he is goalless in his last 31 contests during which he generated a lone helper. Rotowire.com Today, 9:16 am
     
  • Called up from minors
    Gravel was elevated from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

    Advice: Gravel's promotion doesn't bode well for the availability of Luke Schenn (illness) or Spencer Stastney (upper body) for Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday. In the minors this season, the 32-year-old Gravel has contributed just 10 points in 63 outings, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to produce offensively even if he does get into the lineup for Game 6.

  • Three helpers in Game 5
    Bouchard grabbed three assists in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

    Advice: Bouchard set up all three of Edmonton's second-period goals, including a Leon Draisaitl marker on the power-play, in the 4-3 series-clinching victory. The 24-year-old Bouchard has nine points (one goal, eight assists) through five games in the playoffs, tying Cale Makar for most among defensemen. Bouchard had a breakout regular season, tallying 18 goals and 82 points, both career highs, across 81 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 am
     
  • Might play in second round
    Pesce (lower body) is no longer using a walking boot and might be able to return during Carolina's upcoming second-round series against the Rangers, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Wednesday.

    Advice: Pesce had three goals, 13 points, 20 PIM, 25 hits and 113 blocks in 70 regular-season outings. The 29-year-old is likely to serve in a top-four capacity once he's healthy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:04 am
     
  • X-rays negative
    DeAngelo's (wrist) X-rays came back negative and the blueliner is expected to be available for Game 1 against the Rangers in the second round of the playoffs, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Wednesday.

    Advice: DeAngelo has played in the last three games for the Canes due to Brett Pesce's (lower body) absence. DeAngelo will likely be relegated to the press box if and when Pesce is ready to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:04 am
     
  • Not close to returning
    Peeke (finger) is a "couple weeks away" from returning, coach Jim Montgomery told Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe on Wednesday.

    Advice: Peeke had a goal, 10 points, 14 PIM, 88 hits and 78 blocks in 38 rcontests between Columbus and Boston during the regular season. His timetable rules him out for the remainder of the first round, but Peeke might be an option later in the playoffs if the Bruins advance. Boston holds a 3-2 series lead over Toronto heading into Game 6 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:56 am
