  • Two goals to clinch series win
    Draisaitl scored a pair of goals on a team-high six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Kings.

    Advice: Draisaitl tied the game 2-2 midway through the second period with a power-play goal before putting Edmonton ahead just a few minutes later with a second tally, beating David Rittich with a one-timer off a Connor McDavid feed. It was an excellent start to the post-season for Draisaitl -- the 28-year-old center tallied five goals and 10 points in the Oilers' decisive five-game series victory. Rotowire.com Just now
     
  • Pots Game 5 power-play winner
    Robertson scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Golden Knights in Game 5.

    Advice: After falling into an 0-2 hole to begin the series, Dallas has come roaring back with three straight wins, but Robertson has been productive all along. He's failed to find the scoresheet only once in five games, racking up three goals and five points, and Wednesday's power-play tally was his second of the playoffs. The 24-year-old will try to lead the Stars into the second round Friday in Game 6. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Headlines Black Aces call-ups
    Steeves, Marshall Rifai, Topi Niemela, Max Lajoie, Mikko Kokkonen, Dennis Hildeby, Dylan Gambrell, Kyle Clifford and Nick Abruzzese were all called up from AHL Toronto on Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: Steeves played in one game for the Maple Leafs this season, logging six hits and a shot on goal. The 24-year-old winger, as well as the rest of these call-ups, will presumably serve as organizational depth for the remainder of Toronto's playoff run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:08 pm

  • Snags two helpers in loss
    Barzal notched a pair of assists in a 6-3 Game 5 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

    Advice: Barzal put up decent numbers in the postseason, recording two goals and three assists in five games. Still, it wasn't enough to get the Isles past Carolina. During the regular season, the 26-year-old Barzal averaged a point per game, a scoring rate he hadn't achieved since the 2017-18 campaign when he was a rookie. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:47 am
     
  • Reassigned to minors
    Podkolzin was sent down to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

    Advice: Podkolzin figures to suit up with the minor-league club for its Calder Cup matchup with AHL Ontario on Wednesday before likely being recalled ahead of Vancouver's Game 6 clash with the Predators on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:20 am
     
  • Three points to finish off Isles
    Jarvis scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in a 6-3 win over the Islanders on Tuesday in Game 5.

    Advice: The 22-year-old helped set up Carolina's first two tallies as the team grabbed a 2-0 lead inside the first four minutes of the first period. Jarvis then iced things late with an empty-netter. He piled up three goals and seven points in five games against the Isles, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the Hurricanes' second-round clash with the Rangers.

  • Game-time call Wednesday
    Marchment (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 against Vegas on Wednesday, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

    Advice: Marchment has missed the Stars' past two contests due to the injury. He had 22 goals and 53 points in 81 regular-season outings. He'll likely slot into a middle-six role if he's able to go in Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:58 am
     
  • Two points in Game 5 loss
    Nelson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist Tuesday in a 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.

    Advice: The 32-year-old center did his best to keep his team alive in an elimination game, but the Isles simply didn't have the firepower to keep up with Carolina. Nelson picked up two goals and four points in five postseason contests after supplying 34 goals and 69 points in the regular season, his third straight campaign with 30-plus goals. He has one more season left on his current contract with a $6 million AAV, but there's just $4 million in salary left on Nelson's deal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:44 am
