Player Notes

  • May need surgery
    Bear could undergo shoulder surgery in the offseason after suffering the injury during the 2023 IIHF World Hockey Championship, Rick Dhaliwal reports.

    Advice: The Canucks and Bear are in talks as to whether surgery or rehabbing the shoulder is the best option. Bear had three goals and 16 points in 61 regular-season games in 2022-23. Should surgery be deemed necessary, Bear could miss the start of training camp as his recovery is expected to take a few months. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:33 am
  • Dealt to Columbus
    Severson agreed Friday with the Devils on an eight-year, $50-million contract and was subsequently traded to the Blue Jackets in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

    Advice: Severson was eligible for free agency next month, but the only way Severson was getting an eighth year on his contract was if the Devils signed him. New Jersey picks up the 80th pick in the draft for a player they evidently weren't going to retain. Severson is the second blueliner in the last three days to be traded to the Blue Jackets after the team acquired Ivan Provorov on Tuesday. Severson had seven goals and 26 assists in 81 regular-season games with New Jersey in 2022-23. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:00 am
  • Adds power-play assist
    Theodore notched a power-play assist and blocked three shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Theodore's offense has started to come around -- he has a goal and three assists over his last five games. The defenseman is up to 10 points through 19 playoff outings this spring, and he's added 35 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. He remains an effective scoring threat in a top-four role. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:19 pm
  • Slides power-play helper
    Eichel recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Eichel has five helpers over his last three games, and three of those assists have come with the man advantage. The center is now 10 games removed from his last goal, but he currently shares the Golden Knights' postseason scoring lead with Jonathan Marchessault at 23 points apiece. Eichel has added 65 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 23 hits and a plus-13 rating over 20 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:18 pm
  • Pair of points in loss
    Stone scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Stone has gotten on the scoresheet in all three games of the Stanley Cup Finals with two goals and two assists. These were his first power-play points since a helper in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. The winger has eight tallies, 11 helpers, 46 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-2 rating through 20 playoff contests. He remains on the third line at even strength, but he gets plenty of playing time in all situations. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:16 pm
  • Strong again in loss
    Marchessault scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Marchessault continues to be virtually unstoppable with eight goals and five assists during his active eight-game point streak. The Golden Knights weren't able to get anything going at even strength Thursday, but Marchessault remains effective in most scoring situations. The winger has 13 tallies, 10 assists, 71 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-16 rating through 20 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:13 pm
  • Falls in Game 3
    Hill stopped 20 of 23 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Hill had allowed just nine goals over six road playoff games entering this contest. He nearly turned in another strong outing, but the Panthers tied it late in the third period and won quickly in overtime despite not having their best for much of the game. Hill still has a 2.12 GAA and a .934 save percentage through 14 playoff games, and he's given up just seven goals over his last three. The 27-year-old is a virtual lock to start again in Saturday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:00 pm
  • Records helper
    Staal logged an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

    Advice: Staal helped out on Brandon Montour's opening tally 4:08 into the game. It's been a sudden burst of offense for Staal, who has earned three of his five points this postseason over the last four games. The veteran center also has a minus-4 rating, 11 shots on net and 13 hits while working on the fourth line. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:57 pm
  • Sets up overtime tally
    Bennett posted an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.

    Advice: Bennett set up Carter Verhaeghe's goal 4:27 into overtime. While Bennett's gone 11 games without a goal, he's been a solid playmaker with six assists in that span. The 26-year-old is up to 13 points in 18 playoff outings, and he's supported the Panthers' physical style with 74 hits and 60 PIM while adding 66 shots on net and a plus-7 rating.
