Player Notes

  • Loses in Game 7
    Hill surrendered two goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Stars in Game 7.

    Advice: A turnover led to the Stars' first goal, and they scored again early in the third period on the first shift of the frame. Hill went 1-2 with five goals allowed on 72 shots over the final three contests of the series after losing the starting job to Logan Thompson at the beginning of the playoffs. Hill is under contract for next year and should continue to split the goaltending duties with Thompson, barring any trades that change the composition of the Golden Knights' crease.

  • Knocks out Vegas
    Oettinger stopped 22 of 23 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

    Advice: Things looked bleak for the Stars after they dropped the first two games of the series, but Oettinger steadied himself and the team by winning four of the last five contests. He's allowed two or fewer goals in six straight games and owns a 1.95 GAA and a .925 save percentage through seven playoff outings. He won't have much time to rest, as the Stars' second-round series versus the Avalanche begins in Dallas on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:24 pm
  • Surrenders four goals in loss
    Andersen stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1 of the second round.

    Advice: Andersen had not allowed more than three goals in any of his 15 games since returning from a blood clotting issue in early March. He'll likely have his hands full with the Rangers, who won the Metropolitan Division and the Presidents' Trophy in the regular season. Andersen is 4-2 with a 2.54 GAA and an .899 save percentage through six playoff contests. He has probably earned the right to bounce back in Tuesday's Game 2. Rotowire.com Today, 5:00 pm
  • Grabs Game 1 win
    Shesterkin stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the second round.

    Advice: Shesterkin didn't show much rust despite getting a week off after the Rangers swept the Capitals in the first round. He's won seven starts in a row, and this was just the second time in that span he's given up more than two goals. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed 10 goals over five playoff outings and should have no trouble maintaining his place between the pipes in the second round. Rotowire.com Today, 4:43 pm
  • Still unavailable
    Demko (knee) won't be available for the start of Vancouver's second-round series against Edmonton, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Advice: Demko, who is considered week-to-week, sat out the final five contests of the Canucks' first-round series versus Nashville. It remains unclear when he will be available to return. During Demko's absence, Casey DeSmith and Arturs Silovs shared time between the pipes. The 23-year-old Silovs could make his fourth straight start in Game 1 versus the Oilers.

  • Drops Game 7 in overtime
    Samsonov allowed two goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins in Game 7.

    Advice: Samsonov put in a strong showing after Joseph Woll (undisclosed) was deemed unavailable for the winner-take-all contest. Samsonov was able to get the game to overtime, but a bank pass from Hampus Lindholm found David Pastrnak in the space between Samsonov and defenseman Morgan Rielly, and Pastrnak was able to convert the decisive goal. Samsonov won just one of his five playoff appearances, allowing 14 goals on 134 shots during the first round. The 27-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and the emergence of Woll makes it seem unlikely Samsonov will be back to the Maple Leafs after a mediocre campaign.

  • Claims overtime win in Game 7
    Swayman stopped 30 of 31 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.

    Advice: Swayman was in net for all four of the Bruins' first-round wins, and he allowed a total of just nine goals over his six appearances versus Toronto. He battled Ilya Samsonov for nearly 50 minutes before William Nylander and Hampus Lindholm exchanged goals midway through the third period. Swayman didn't have to keep it tied for long in overtime, as David Pastrnak tucked home the game-winner 1:54 into the extra session. Swayman has likely earned the opportunity to be the starter in the second round versus the Panthers, who boast an intimidating offense that may make it difficult for the 25-year-old to replicate his first-round results.

  • Up in NHL again
    DiPietro was recalled from AHL Providence on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: DiPietro is starting to bounce between the leagues frequently, though that may change if the Bruins don't get past the Maple Leafs in Saturday's Game 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:45 pm
  • Unavailable Saturday
    Woll (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Game 7 against Boston on Saturday.

    Advice: Woll was injured late in Toronto's 2-1 win over the Bruins on Thursday in Game 6. He has stopped 49 of 51 shots en route to winning the past two outings. With Woll out, Martin Jones will serve as Ilya Samsonov's backup in Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:45 pm
