Player Notes

  • Supplies assist in Game 3
    Skjei collected an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss against the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Skjei has recorded a helper in consecutive contests, bringing him up to seven assists in eight playoff outings this year. This has been his most successful postseason run in terms of personal offensive production. His previous career high in playoff points came in 2017 when he recorded four goals and five points across 12 outings as a member of the Rangers. However, his offensive output hasn't been enough to push Carolina past his former team -- New York has a 3-0 series lead going into Game 4 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm
  • On three-game scoring streak
    Orlov registered an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday.

    Advice: Orlov extended his point streak to three games, giving him a goal and two assists in that span. He's up to four points (two markers) in eight playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with six goals and 26 points across 82 appearances. Orlov is serving primarily on the third pairing without and is seldom used on the power play, but he's getting plenty of work despite that unglamorous assignment -- Orlov has averaged 21:18 of ice time in the 2024 postseason.

  • Cleared to play Friday
    Peeke (finger) will be available for Game 3 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Peeke figures to replace Parker Wotherspoon on the third pairing, though Derek Forbort could also be in danger of being relegated to the press box. Considering the 26-year-old Peeke has managed just one point in his last 15 outings, fantasy players probably shouldn't expect much from him on the offensive end. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
  • Registers assist Thursday
    Manson posted an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Manson set up a Joel Kiviranta tally in the third period. The 32-year-old Manson has been surprisingly reliable on offense this postseason, earning six points with 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over seven appearances. That level of production has kept him in a top-four role for the Avalanche, and his physicality adds another layer of intrigue in his game, making him viable in DFS. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:46 pm
  • Gets on scoresheet Thursday
    Lundkvist posted an assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Advice: Lundkvist's minutes have been heavily managed during the postseason -- he's reached 10 minutes of ice time in just one of nine playoff games. As such, he's produced next to nothing statistically, with the assist being his first point to go with a minus-1 rating, one shot on goal, five hits and one blocked shot. Lundkvist will almost certainly lose his place in the lineup once Jani Hakanpaa (lower body) is fit to play. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 pm
