Player Notes

  • Remains out Friday
    Heinen (undisclosed) continues to be day-to-day but won't be available for Game 3 versus Florida on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Heinen will be sidelined for his fifth consecutive contest due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 28-year-old winger was stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper and a mere six shots. Once Heinen is given the all-clear, he should be in the mix to reclaim a spot on the third line, likely knocking Justin Brazeau from the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 8:21 am
  • Dealing with knee problem
    McMann was sidelined for the last nine games of the season due to an MCL sprain, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports Friday.

    Advice: McMann finished his rookie year having logged 56 games for the Leafs in which he notched 15 goals on 118 shots, nine assists and 117 hits while averaging 11:34 of ice time. The 27-year-old winger got plenty of looks on the first line with Auston Matthews this season and could be back in that role heading into 2024-25. With a full 82-game campaign, McMann should be capable of reaching the 20-goal threshold and pushing for the 40-point mark. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
  • Scores again Thursday
    Guentzel scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Guentzel opened the scoring midway through the third period, deflecting a feed from Dmitry Orlov past Igor Shesterkin to give Carolina an early 1-0 lead. While the Canes find themselves down 3-0 in the series, Guentzel has done his part, recording three goals and four points in the three contests. The 29-year-old winger has four goals and eight points in eight games so far in the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 7:35 am
  • Nets short-handed tally
    Kreider scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.

    Advice: Kreider got New York on the board with a shorthanded marker midway through the second period, backhanding a feed from Mika Zibanejad under the pad of Pyotr Kochetkov. The 33-year-old Kreider now has goals in back-to-back games and four points in his last three contests. He's up to four goals and seven points through seven games in the postseason.

  • Forces OT with late goal
    Svechnikov logged a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Svechnikov picked up an assist on Jake Guentzel's opening goal midway through the first period before tying the game 2-2 late in the third with Carolina's net empty, snapping a rebound past Igor Shesterkin. It's the second goal and eighth point for Svechnikov through eight postseason contests. He had 52 points (19 goals, 33 assists) in 59 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 am
