    Advice: Makar logged a pair of power-play points in the second period, setting up a Valeri Nichushkin marker before scoring later in the frame. Makar added a third point with another assist on Nathan MacKinnon's game-tying goal in the opening seconds of the third.

  • Records assist Tuesday
    Skjei notched an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

    Advice: Skjei assisted on Dmitry Orlov's late first-period tally to give Carolina a 2-1 lead heading into the second frame. As Orlov skated towards the front of the net from the corner, Skjei floated a shot from the point that was redirected past Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin. However, the 30-year-old Skjei ultimately took a penalty in overtime that New York took advantage of to win the game. Look for Skjei to rebound with a strong effort in Game 3 on Thursday.

    Hakanpaa (lower body) won't play in Game 1 on Tuesday against Colorado in the second round of the playoffs, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

  • Pockets helper in Game 1 win
    Wotherspoon logged an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in a 5-1 win over the Panthers on Monday in Game 1 of the second round.

    Advice: Wotherspoon has played in six straight games since entering the lineup for Game 3 of the first round. The helper was his first point since March 26. The 26-year-old defenseman will continue to work in a bottom-pairing role, so there's not much fantasy appeal in his game. He's earned 11 hits, 11 blocked shots, six shots on net and a plus-1 rating in the postseason after recording eight helpers, 84 hits and 67 blocks over 41 regular-season appearances.

  • Tallies in win
    Carlo scored a goal on two shots, added six hits, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Carlo's day began with the birth of his son, leaving the defenseman questionable for the contest. He was able to fly to Florida and play, and he was strong in all zones, which included him scoring the back-breaking goal late in the second period to put Boston ahead 3-1. The 27-year-old blueliner has three points, 13 shots on net, 22 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through eight playoff contests, as well as a fun story to tell his son when he grows up.

  • Two points in win
    Lohrei scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-2, logged four hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Lohrei's top-shelf tally in the second period stood as the game-winner, and he also assisted on a Justin Brazeau goal in the third. The goal was Lohrei's first career playoff tally. He has three points, nine shots on net, eight hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over six postseason appearances while filling a bottom-four role. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:57 pm
     
  • Good to go Monday
    Carlo (personal) is in Monday's lineup for Game 1 against Florida, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Carlo tallied a goal and an assist with 16 hits and 16 blocked shots in the first round against Toronto. However, he failed to score a point in his final 16 games during the regular season. He'll skate in his usual top-four role Monday. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:39 pm
     
  • Game-time decision
    Carlo (personal) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 versus Florida on Monday.

    Advice: Head coach Jim Montgomery is "very hopeful" that Carlo will be able to join the team ahead of Monday's second-round opener. The 27-year-old blueliner was with his wife, Mayson, to welcome their baby boy, Crew, into the world Monday morning. Carlo has one goal, one assist, 11 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 16 hits in seven outings this postseason. If Carlo is unavailable to play in Monday's contest, Derek Forbort could be in the lineup for the first time since March 2 after recovering from an undisclosed injury.

  • Gets first point of postseason
    Harley registered an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Harley snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper on Radek Faksa's third-period tally, which was the game-winning goal. The 22-year-old Harley had an excellent regular season with 15 goals and 47 points over 79 appearances, but he has just one assist with 12 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through seven playoff outings. He'll still absorb top-four minutes, especially with Dallas leaning heavily on five blueliners, but his offense may take a back seat to his defensive duties again versus the Avalanche in the second round.
