Player Notes

  • Good to go Friday
    Bennett (upper body) will be in Friday's Game 3 lineup against the Bruins, Katie Engleson of Bally Sports Florida reports.

    Advice: Bennett was injured during Game 2 against the Lightning last round and had missed five straight games. He'll slide back into a top-six role alongside Carter Verhaeghe and Matthew Tkachuk on Friday. After scoring 20 goals and 41 points in the regular season, Bennett has two points through two playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:45 pm
  • Draws start Friday
    Bobrovsky will be stationed between the pipes in Boston for Game 3 on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bobrovsky struggled in a Game 1 loss against Boston, yielding four goals on 28 shots. He bounced back in Game 2 to tie the series by stopping 14 of 15 shots. While he's won five over his seven postseason starts, he's registered a lackluster .893 save percentage during that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 3:38 pm
  • Tending twine Friday
    Swayman will get the starting nod for Game 3 at home against the Panthers on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After stopping 38 shots in a dominant Game 1 victory, Swayman couldn't make it through the entirety of Game 2. He was yanked after coughing up four goals on 23 shots. Still, the Bruins will go back to him for an eighth consecutive game. Over his last seven contests, Swayman has gone 4-3-0 over those last seven appearances despite registering a terrific .937 save percentage. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
  • Recalled with black aces
    Podkolzin was called up from AHL Abbotsford on Friday as part of a group of black aces with Arshdeep Bains, Linus Karlsson, Danila Klimovich, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Aatu Raty, Max Sasson, Nick Cicek, Matt Irwin, Cole McWard, defenseman Elias Pettersson, Christian Wolanin and Zach Sawchenko.

    Advice: Podkolzin had two assists in 19 regular-season contests with Vancouver in 2023-24. He also recorded 28 points in 44 regular-season AHL outings and an assist in three AHL playoff appearances this year. Abbotsford has been eliminated from playoff contention, which is what prompted this move. None of those promoted are likely to factor into the lineup unless Vancouver runs into injury problems.

  • Extends scoring streak to 13 games
    Zibanejad registered a shorthanded assist in a 3-2 overtime victory over Carolina in Game 3 on Thursday.

    Advice: Zibanejad helped out Chris Kreider midway through the second period to even the score at 1-1. The 31-year-old Zibanejad is on a 13-game scoring streak dating back to the regular season in which he's provided five goals and 20 points -- that run includes three goals and 12 points across seven playoff outings this year. Zibanejad figures to continue to play a critical role on the Rangers' first line and top power-play unit. Rotowire.com Today, 1:04 pm
