Player Notes

  • Takes another loss
    Swayman stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.

    Advice: Swayman has lost back-to-back games, but he still hasn't given up more than two goals in any of his five first-round starts. William Nylander had both tallies Thursday, scoring in the final minute of the second period on a deflected shot and adding another goal late in the third. With the Bruins facing Game 7, it's unclear if head coach Jim Montgomery will stick with Swayman or switch to Linus Ullmark on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm
  • Forces Game 7
    Woll stopped 22 of 23 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

    Advice: Woll has won back-to-back starts, stopping 49 of 51 shots in that span. The 25-year-old nearly had his first postseason shutout Thursday, but a Morgan Geekie goal in the final second spoiled it. Woll is almost certain to start Saturday's Game 7 in Boston after pulling the Maple Leafs back from the brink following Ilya Samsonov's poor start to the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:45 pm
  • Called up from minors
    Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Knight has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Checkers, logging action in 45 regular-season contests in which he posted a 25-14-5 record and .905 save percentage. Even with his promotion, Knight shouldn't be expected to get into any games, primarily serving as an emergency option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:50 pm
  • Falls to Edmonton
    Rittich allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 loss to the Oilers.

    Advice: Rittich and the Kings couldn't overcome Edmonton's three-goal second period in the series-deciding loss. The 31-year-old Rittich started the series' final two games, going 0-2-0 with an .872 save percentage after Cam Talbot struggled in the first three games. Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. Rittich could be looking for an opportunity to win a starting gig as a free agent this summer.

  • Earns series-clinching win
    Skinner stopped 18 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 4 victory over Los Angeles.

    Advice: It wasn't the busiest game for Skinner, but the 25-year-old netminder did just enough for the one-goal win as the Oilers took the series 4-1. After allowing nine goals on 63 shots in his first two games of the series, Skinner looked better in his last three contests, posting a .951 save percentage. Edmonton will now get a few days off before they face the winner of the Vancouver-Nashville series in the second round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:10 am
