Player Notes

  • Sets up game-winner
    Barkov registered two power-play assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: After being held off the scoresheet in four consecutive contests prior to Game 3, Barkov now has picked up multiple points in each of his last two games. He had a secondary assist on Carter Verhaeghe's power-play tally in the second period before setting up Sam Reinhart for the game-winning goal in overtime. Barkov also had four shots, three hits and an even plus-minus rating in 22:04 of ice time Tuesday night. The 28-year-old center is tied for second on the team in points so far during the postseason with six goals and 11 assists in 15 contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:11 pm
  • Propels Panthers in thriller
    Reinhart scored the game-winning goal in overtime in Tuesday's 3-2 win over New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Reinhart was the hero in South Florida on Tuesday night -- he buried a feed from Aleksander Barkov to send the series back to New York tied at two games apiece. It was Reinhart's fourth power-play goal of the postseason, three of which have come in the last two games. Reinhart has eight goals so far during the postseason which trails only Carter Verhaeghe (nine) for the lead for Florida. Reinhart is also tied for the team lead in power-play goals with four. The 28-year-old is fourth on the team in points during the postseason with eight goals and four assists in 15 appearances. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:52 pm
  • Returns with two helpers
    Hintz logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Hintz set up the first two goals of Jason Robertson's hat trick. This was Hintz's return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he looked much like his usual self in 17:48 of ice time in a top-line role. The center is up to two goals, six helpers, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff appearances. Hintz should see significant ice time for the Stars moving forward, so he'll be a solid option in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:58 pm
  • Picks up assist in overtime win
    Roslovic recorded an assist in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Roslovic was credited with the secondary helper on Alexander Wennberg's tally in overtime. While he hasn't scored in nine games, Roslovic has picked up three assists over his last four contests. The 27-year-old winger began the playoffs in a top-line role, but he's now on the third line after Filip Chytil took his spot alongside Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad. Roslovic is at eight points, 18 shots on net, nine hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 13 playoff appearances, but his scoring chances are likely to be limited as long as he remains in the bottom six.

  • Nets game-winning goal
    Wennberg scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Wennberg tallied 5:35 into the extra session to fend off the Panthers. This was the Rangers' second overtime win in a row, giving them a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Playing in a third-line role, Wennberg hasn't generated much on offense with two points through 13 playoff games, but he's added 17 blocked shots and 11 shots on net as a defensively responsible center.

  • Tallies twice Sunday
    Goodrow scored two goals, including one while shorthanded, in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Goodrow added two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's win, which put the Rangers up 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. His playoff experience is shining through with five goals over his last six games despite a limited bottom-six role. Goodrow has six tallies, two assists, 14 shots on net, 32 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 13 playoff appearances. He can't sustain this scoring pace over a longer stretch, but his defensive work is more than enough to keep him in the lineup. Rotowire.com May 26, 6:32 pm
  • Lands on waivers
    Gaunce was placed on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

    Advice: If he goes unclaimed, Gaunce will probably report to AHL Cleveland ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Hershey on Thursday. He picked up two goals and two assists in 24 NHL appearances with Columbus during the 2023-24 campaign. He also generated 19 goals and 39 points over 46 minor-league outings during the regular season. Rotowire.com May 26, 12:30 pm
  • Contributes assist
    Steel notched an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Steel snapped a three-game drought with his helper on a Mason Marchment goal in the third period. Through 15 playoff outings, Steel has five points, 13 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-2 rating. He remains in a fourth-line role with no power-play time, but his spot in the lineup is safe even as head coach Pete DeBoer has shown little hesitation in changing his bottom-six personnel.
