  • Provides assist in win
    Luostarinen notched an even-strength assist in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Rangers in Game 5.

    Advice: Luostarinen had been held off the scoresheet in seven consecutive outings before helping out on Anton Lundell's third-period tally. Luostarinen added two shots, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 16:15 of ice time. The 25-year-old has been struggling when it comes to finding the back of the net -- he has the lowest shooting percentage among Florida's forwards that have at least 20 shots on goal during the postseason. The Finland native has five points (one goal) and a plus-1 rating in 16 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 am
  • Helps out on both goals in loss
    Benn registered two assists and two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Advice: This was Benn's third straight multi-point effort. He's racked up two goals and six assists during a five-game point streak. The 34-year-old forward is up to four goals, 11 assists, 35 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-4 rating through 17 playoff contests, playing well in a middle-six role in the Stars' balanced offense.

  • Offers helper in win
    Hyman produced an assist, five shots on goal, five hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Hyman set up Leon Draisaitl's tally in the second period just after the Oilers killed off a penalty. It's often been goals over assists for Hyman this postseason -- he's scored 13 times and added four helpers through 16 contests. The star winger has added 68 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-9 rating while remaining firmly in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:23 pm

  • Records two helpers in Game 4
    Panarin registered a pair of assists, including one with the man advantage, in Game 4 against the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Despite his two-point effort, Panarin remains mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he has recorded just 14 shots. Still, the 32-year-old winger continues to find ways to produce, though his effort Tuesday wasn't enough to help secure a victory for New York. If the Rangers are going to make the Stanley Cup Finals, they will likely need Panarin to start finding the back of the net. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:15 am
  • Extends point streak
    Verhaeghe scored his ninth goal of the postseason in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win versus New York in Game 4.

    Advice: Verhaeghe extended his point streak to five games after potting a goal on the power play in Tuesday's win. The 28-year-old also fired four shots on net in 20:04 of ice time. Verhaeghe is up to six points in this series after notching just two points in Florida's second-round series versus Boston. In 15 postseason appearances to this point, Verhaeghe leads the team in goals with nine and is tied for second on the team in points with 17. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:34 pm
  • Signs one-year deal
    Sanford signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Tuesday.

    Advice: Sanford provided six assists, 24 shots on goal, 19 blocked shots and 24 hits in 29 appearances between the Blackhawks and the Coyotes in 2023-24. The 29-year-old forward will be a depth player for Chicago next campaign but could spend most of the season in the minors. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:13 pm
  • Breaks goal drought with hat trick
    Robertson scored three goals and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Robertson entered Monday with no goals over his last 10 games. Part of that slump coincided with the absence of Roope Hintz, who returned from an upper-body injury and assisted on the first two goals of Robertson's hat trick in this comeback win. Robertson is up to six goals, 16 points, 33 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 16 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:49 pm
  • Distributes two assists
    Tkachuk recorded two assists (one on the power play), seven shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Tkachuk helped out on a Sam Reinhart power-play tally in the first period and also set up Gustav Forsling's equalizer in the third. This was Tkachuk's second multi-point effort in three Eastern Conference Finals games. The winger has played his usual excellent game with five goals, 13 helpers, 53 shots, 39 hits, 19 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 14 playoff outings in a top-six role. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:10 pm
  • Garners helper in win
    Cuylle logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Cuylle snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old has seen a limited role in the Rangers' bottom six this postseason, picking up two points, 17 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 playoff appearances. He's got a steady spot in the lineup, but Cuylle shouldn't be counted on for significant offense. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:57 pm
