  • Tallies in Game 2 win
    Sissons scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.

    Advice: Sissons led the Predators' forwards with his four blocks. The 30-year-old also chipped in with the team's third goal. Sissons had a career year in 2023-24 with 15 goals, 35 points, 131 shots on net, 138 hits and 57 blocked shots over 81 regular-season appearances. He's often played in a second-line role this year, offering two-way appeal on the ice and modest fantasy value for his all-around game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:16 pm
     
  • Adds helper in loss
    Vilardi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Vilardi has earned three helpers through two playoff contests. He's also recorded four shots on net while seeing top-line minutes. Vilardi's scoring upside is limited compared to linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, but the 24-year-old could have some extra fantasy appeal if he stays in that role during the postseason.

  • Opens scoring in loss
    Gustafsson scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Gustafsson tallied at 3:15 of the first period. He's picked up two goals and two assists over his last five contests, but his chances of sustaining that kind of scoring pace are low as long as he's in a fourth-line role. The 24-year-old had a career-high seven points in 39 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:52 pm
     
  • Nets goal in Game 2 loss
    Scheifele scored a goal on three shots, doled out five hits and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Scheifele has four points, four shots on net and seven hits over two playoff games so far. The 31-year-old's tally gave the Jets a 2-1 lead in the second period, but Alexandar Georgiev was able to shut the door after that. Scheifele's performance will be key for the Jets in the postseason, and he's living up to expectations early on. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:44 pm
     
  • Provides helper Tuesday
    Cogliano notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Advice: Cogliano snapped a 17-game point drought when he set up Zach Parise on what would be the game-winning goal in the second period. Playing in a fourth-line role, Cogliano's chances to produce offense are rare. He had 19 points, 61 shots on net and 40 blocked shots over 75 regular-season appearances, missing the 20-point mark for the sixth straight year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:34 pm
     
  • Collects assist in win
    Colton registered an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and five hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Advice: Colton has a goal and three helpers during his active four-game point streak. The 27-year-old has also added some grit during the playoffs with nine hits over two contests. Colton remains in a third-line role, where he can chip in occasional offense in addition to a steady stream of shots and hits. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:32 pm
     
  • Snags helper in win
    MacKinnon posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Advice: MacKinnon set up a Josh Manson tally on a breakaway out of the penalty box late in the second period. The helper was MacKinnon's third point over two playoff contests so far, and he's added six shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The superstar center has 16 points over 10 outings in April and remains the focal point of the Avalanche's offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 pm
     
  • Plays sparingly during 2023-24
    Alexandrov recorded two assists across 23 games during the 2023-24 season.

    Advice: The Blues kept Alexandrov with the big club all season because they feared he would be claimed off waivers if they sent him to the AHL. The 2019 second-round pick barely played as a result, and he averaged just 8:32 of ice time when he was in the lineup. This isn't a great option for the youngster's development, but barring a trade, he'll likely stick with the Blues next season because he's a restricted free agent this summer.

  • Sustains injury Tuesday
    Bennett (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Lightning.

    Advice: Bennett reportedly took a shot to the hand, per David Dwork of The Hockey News. Bennett should be considered day-to-day until the Panthers provide another update. He scored a goal and added a power-play assist in Game 2 prior to his exit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:01 pm
