  • Ends season on injured list
    Raddysh was dealing with a hip pointer when the Bolts were eliminated from the postseason, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Wednesday.

    Advice: Raddysh was out of the lineup for Tampa Bay's final two contests due to his hip injury. Unless the 28-year-old Toronto native requires surgery, he should be ready to play when training camp opens in the fall. Whether he is at camp with the Lightning remains to be seen, as Raddysh will hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent July 1. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 am
     
  • Bags apple in loss
    Hughes posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.

    Advice: Hughes is up to five assists, eight shots on net and six blocked shots over five playoff contests. He set up Nikita Zadorov for the opening goal in the third period, though the Canucks couldn't hold that narrow lead. Hughes' play hasn't been as consistent in the playoffs when compared to the regular season, but he's still seeing a massive workload on the top pairing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:30 pm
     
  • Tallies again in Game 5
    Zadorov scored a goal, added two PIM and logged four hits in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Predators in Game 5.

    Advice: For the second time in five playoff games, Zadorov had the Canucks' lone goal in a loss. The defenseman has three points, eight shots on net, 22 hits and a plus-1 rating so far in the postseason. He remains on the third pairing on paper, but he's exceeded 20 minutes of ice time in each of the last three games -- it appears he's earned extra responsibility from head coach Rick Tocchet.

  • Enters lineup, earns assist
    Barrie posted a power-play assist in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: Barrie had been scratched for 13 straight games before entering the lineup Tuesday in place of Luke Schenn (illness). It worked out fine, as Barrie helped out on Roman Josi's game-tying goal in the third period. Barrie had just 15 points in 41 regular-season outings this season, and he'll likely be back in the press box once Schenn is healthy enough to return to the lineup.

  • Deposits game-winner
    Carrier scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: Carrier's goal at 12:46 of the third period was the game-winner, allowing the Predators to stay alive for Game 6 on Friday. The defenseman has a point in three straight contests, and he's added five shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through five postseason outings. Carrier appears to be a lock for a top-four role even though he is mainly in the lineup for his defensive contributions. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:11 pm
     
  • Nets power-play goal
    Josi scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Canucks in Game 5.

    Advice: Josi has a goal, two assists, nine shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through five playoff contests. His tally Tuesday tied the game at 1-1. Josi's offense has been a little limited during the playoffs compared to his 85-point regular season, but he should continue to play with urgency as the Predators look to stave off elimination two more times in the first round.

  • Adds helper in season-ending loss
    Miller recorded an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

    Advice: Miller played sparingly after the Jets acquired him from the Devils, though he managed two assists and 17 hits in six appearances for Winnipeg. Miller had nine points, 69 shots on net, 91 hits and a plus-8 rating over 46 regular-season outings between New Jersey and the Jets. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he should be able to find an NHL deal as a possible third-pairing option, though his playing style is rarely friendly to fantasy managers.

  • Strikes on power play
    Morrissey scored a power-play goal on five shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

    Advice: Morrissey's goal tied the game at 2-2 in the second period. The defenseman had three goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, four hits and 12 blocked shots over five playoff contests. He had 69 points, 103 blocks and a plus-34 rating in 81 regular-season outings, his second straight high-quality campaign. Look for Morrissey to continue to serve on the top pairing and first power-play unit in 2024-25. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:45 pm
     
  • Being checked for injury
    DeAngelo went for X-rays after taking a slash Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Islanders, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: DeAngelo was able to return after the incident, but the Hurricanes will give him further evaluation after clinching their first-round series win. The defenseman had no points in three outings after replacing Brett Pesce (lower body) in the lineup. DeAngelo's status should be updated before the start of the Hurricanes' second-round series versus the Rangers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:15 pm
