  • Supplies helper in win
    Pietrangelo recorded an assist, four shots on goal and four blocked shots in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: The helper was Pietrangelo's first point in six playoff outings. The veteran defenseman has added 10 shots on net, eight hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. Pietrangelo is seeing top-four minutes, but he's also being leaned on for his defense, so his chances to produce points may be limited. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 pm
     
  • Gets on scoresheet Friday
    Karlsson registered an assist in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: After a 60-point regular season, Karlsson was silenced for the first five games of the first round. He broke the slump by setting up Mark Stone's empty-netter Friday, though that's hardly a sign of good things to come for Karlsson. The veteran center is stuck in a third-line, and his defensive skills are strong enough to prevent him from getting more favorable matchups. Karlsson has added nine shots on net, six hits and a plus-3 rating through six playoff outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 pm
     
  • Fills empty cage
    Stone scored an empty-net goal in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Stone has produced modest offense in the first round, earning three goals with 10 shots on net , 12 hits and a minus-2 rating over six appearances. He's exceeded 18 minutes of ice time in four of those games, so it's safe to assume he's not being bothered too much by the lacerated spleen that kept him out of the last 26 games of the regular season. Stone should continue to play on the second line and first power-play unit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
     
  • Breaks tie in Game 6
    Hanifin scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Hanifin's goal midway through the third period opened the scoring and stood as the game-winner. The 27-year-old defenseman has continued to be a strong part of the Golden Knights' blue line in the postseason, picking up two goals, three assists, 10 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-2 rating over six first-round appearances. Hanifin should continue to see significant minutes in all situations heading into Sunday's Game 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:51 pm
     
  • Shuts out Stars in Game 6
    Hill posted a 23-save shutout in Friday's 2-0 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Hill stepped up in a must-win scenario to force Game 7 on Sunday. He was strong throughout the game, which was a goalie duel between him and Jake Oettinger until Noah Hanifin put the Golden Knights ahead midway through the third period. Hill was on the bench for the first four games of the season, but it's tough to imagine head coach Bruce Cassidy turning away from the 27-year-old after this shutout.

  • Strong in loss
    Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. The second goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: Oettinger was sharp and occasionally spectacular in this contest, but his teammates couldn't solve Adin Hill at the other end of the ice. Oettinger gave up four goals in Game 1, but he's surrendered just nine tallies over the last five contests to give the Stars a solid chance against the defending champions. The 25-year-old is a near guarantee to start in Sunday's Game 7 at home, but he'll need more goal support if the Stars are to keep their playoff run alive. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:44 pm
     
  • Snags assist Friday
    Pettersson logged an assist in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.

    Advice: Pettersson failed to score a goal in the first round, and he's now gone nine contests without a tally. He showed some life with an assist in three of the last four games, but the Canucks will need a lot more from one of their top players entering a more difficult second-round matchup with the Oilers. In addition to the three assists, Pettersson had eight shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over six appearances in the first round.

  • Earns helper in Game 6 win
    Boeser logged an assist, three shots on goal and four PIM in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.

    Advice: Boeser was productive in the first round, picking up four goals, two assists, 16 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over six contests, highlighted by his hat trick in Game 4. The winger set up Pius Suter for the lone tally in Game 6 as well. Boeser will continue to be a key part of the Canucks' offense heading into a second-round matchup with the Oilers that could lead to high-scoring clashes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:37 pm
     
  • Scores in Friday's win
    Suter scored a goal on five shots in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.

    Advice: Suter's goal with 1:39 left in the third period was the only goal in the contest. That was also the series-clinching tally, setting up the Canucks for a second-round matchup with the Oilers. Suter scored twice on 14 shots and added six hits over six first-round appearances while filling a middle-six role. The 27-year-old is well-regarded as a defensive forward, and he may be deployed in that nature frequently in the next round against a high-powered offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:31 pm
