Player Notes

  • Hits waivers
    Wagner was placed on waivers Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: Wagner will probably remain with the Avalanche for Tuesday's Game 2 matchup versus Winnipeg. He will likely serve as a healthy scratch for a second straight outing. Wagner had one goal, one assist, 16 shots on net and 30 hits in 13 NHL contests during the 2023-24 regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:39 am
  • Possible for Game 3
    Nylander (undisclosed) is a possibility for Game 3 against Boston on Wednesday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Advice: Coach Sheldon Keefe was unable to provide a more substantial update Tuesday because it was a travel day for the Maple Leafs. Nylander missed both of Toronto's contests in Boston to begin the playoffs because of an undisclosed injury. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the 27-year-old forward was a game-time decision for a third straight outing. Nylander produced 40 goals and a career-high 98 points in 82 outings during the 2023-24 regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:38 am
  • Opens scoring in defeat
    Geekie scored a power-play goal on his lone shot in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Advice: Geekie opened the scoring midway through the first period, ripping a Brad Marchand feed into an open net to give Boston a 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old Geekie is coming off a solid debut campaign in Boston -- he posted 17 goals and 39 points, both career highs, across 76 games, though he was held to just one goal and five points over his final 13 contests.

  • Opens scoring in Game 2
    Palmieri scored a goal on a team-high four shots in Mondays' 5-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Advice: Palmieri opened the scoring late in the first period, poking a loose puck past Frederik Andersen to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead. Palmieri was excellent down the stretch, tallying seven goals and 11 points in nine games to close out the regular season. The 33-year-old winger finished the campaign with 30 goals, matching a career high, and 54 points over 82 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
  • Scores in Game 2
    Teravainen notched a power-play goal in Monday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.

    Advice: Teravainen got Carolina on the board midway through the second period, burying a Jake Guentzel feed on the man advantage to cut the Islanders' lead to 3-1 in the eventual comeback victory. Teravainen came into the playoffs with some scoring momentum, tallying four goals and five points in his final three regular-season games. The 29-year-old winger finished the campaign with 25 goals, a career high, and 53 points across 76 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:30 am
  • Racks up penalty minutes
    Noesen recorded 17 penalty minutes in a 5-3 win in Game 2 against the Islanders on Monday.

    Advice: Noesen spent five minutes in the box in the first period after dropping the gloves against Kyle MacLean before also snagging a 10-minute misconduct with just nine seconds remaining in the contest. The 31-year-old Noesen ended the regular season on a 20-game goal drought before finding the back of the net versus New York. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting consistent offensive production out of the Texas native. Rotowire.com Today, 7:30 am
  • Undergoes shoulder surgery
    Meier will have arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder but is expected to be ready for training camp ahead of the 2024-25 campaign, the Devils announced Tuesday.

    Advice: Despite several injury concerns, Meier still managed to rack up 28 goals and 24 helpers in 69 games this season, including 17 power-play points. The Swiss international should be a near-lock to maintain a top-six role playing alongside Nico Hischier or Jack Hughes (shoulder) next season. It wouldn't be surprising to see Meier find his way back above the 30-goal and 60-point milestones provided he stays healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 7:23 am
  • Two helpers in Game 2 win
    Svechnikov notched a pair of assists in Monday's 5-3 victory over the Islanders.

    Advice: Svechnikov set up Sebastian Aho's game-tying marker late in the third period before grabbing a second helper on Jake Guentzel's empty-netter that sealed Carolina's 5-3 victory. The 24-year-old Svechnikov was held off the scoresheet in Game 1, though he finished the regular season with six points (two goals, four assists) in his final four contests. He tallied 19 goals and 52 points across 59 regular-season appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
  • Scores in Game 2 loss
    Pastrnak scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to Toronto.

    Advice: Pastrnak put Boston ahead 2-1 with eight seconds remaining in the first period, one-timing a Pavel Zacha feed from the slot. It's the first goal and the second point for Pastrnak in the playoffs after he tallied 47 goals and 110 points in the regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:12 am
