  • Hands out helper
    Roslovic logged an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Roslovic set up the first of Mika Zibanejad's two goals in the first period. While he hardly stands out on offense, Roslovic has been steady for the Rangers in the playoffs -- he's on a six-game point streak (three goals, three assists) that dates back to the regular-season finale. The 27-year-old is still in a top-line role at even strength, though he's prone to having shifts skipped depending on the flow of the game. Rotowire.com Today, 4:57 pm
     
  • Joins big club
    Brown was recalled from AHL Providence on Sunday.

    Advice: Brown hasn't dressed in an NHL game since Jan. 27. He tallied 11 goals and 32 points in 42 games with AHL Providence. The 31-year-old will provide some extra depth in Boston as the team begins its series against the Panthers on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:50 pm
     
  • Two power-play points Sunday
    Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Both of Trocheck's points came on the power play as the Rangers opened a 3-1 lead in the first period. The 30-year-old center has found his game in the postseason with four goals and four assists over five outings. Trocheck continues to play on the second line at even strength, and he's also on the top power-play unit, where he's earned five of his eight points during the playoffs.

  • Starring role in Game 1 win
    Zibanejad scored twice, added an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1.

    Advice: Zibanejad scored the Rangers' first two goals and added an assist on a Vincent Trocheck tally. All three of Zibanejad's points came in the first period, and two of them were on the power play. He's racked up four straight multi-point efforts and his point streak is at 11 games (five goals, 13 helpers) dating back to April 5. The 31-year-old center plays in all situations for the Rangers, and that's unlikely to change in this second-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 4:46 pm
     
  • Suiting up for Team Canada
    Fantilli will suit up for Team Canada in the IIHF World Championship opener Sunday.

    Advice: Fantilli missed the final 33 games of the regular season after suffering a lacerated calf on Jan. 28. Now healthy, the 19-year-old center will look to contribute to Team Canada's run in the IIHF World Championships before preparing for the 2024-25 season. Fantilli finished his rookie campaign with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:26 am

    Advice: Bennett missed the final three games of Florida's opening-round series against the Lightning. While he'll miss the opening game of the second round, coach Paul Maurice said Bennett was "better than I hoped" following Sunday's morning skate. Bennett has a goal and an assist so far in the playoffs after tallying 20 goals and 41 points in the regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:17 am
     
  • Unavailable for World Championship
    Larkin won't represent Team USA at the 2024 IIHF World Championship because of an undisclosed injury, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Larkin will use the offseason to recover instead, which should put him on track to be available for training camp in the fall. He finished the 2023-24 season with 33 goals and 69 points in 68 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Provides helper in loss
    Matthews recorded an assist, three shots on goal and six hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.

    Advice: Matthews missed Games 5 and 6 with an undisclosed injury, and he was able to play just 17:35 in Game 7. The 26-year-old contributed a helper on William Nylander's tally in the third period, but the Maple Leafs held that lead for just 1:21. Matthews ended the playoffs with four points, 20 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-2 rating over five appearances. His four-year, $53 million contract extension, which he signed in August of 2023, kicks in next season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:24 pm
     
  • Good to play in Game 7
    Matthews (illness) will draw into the lineup for Game 7 versus the Bruins on Saturday, per Jonas Siegel of The Athletic.

    Advice: Matthews missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury, according to Emily Kaplan of ESPN, after exiting Game 4 due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward has a goal, three points and 17 shots in four playoff outings this year. Matthews was immensely important to the Leafs' offense during the regular season, providing 69 goals and 107 points across 81 appearances. He should see time on the top power-play unit even though he will start Saturday's contest alongside Pontus Holmberg and Calle Jarnkrok at even strength. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:53 pm
