Heinen (undisclosed) is available to play in Game 4 against the Panthers on Sunday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Heinen is poised to occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit after missing the past five contests. He has one assist, five shots on goal and nine hits in five appearances this postseason. Heinen will replace Brad Marchand (upper body) in the lineup.

MacKinnon supplied an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

MacKinnon was silenced in Game 2, ending an eight-game point streak. The 28-year-old was able to contribute the primary assist on Mikko Rantanen's goal in Game 3, though the Avalanche did little else on offense. MacKinnon is up to 12 points, 34 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through eight playoff contests, with six of his points coming on the power play.

Steel logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Steel has just two assists to go with eight shots on net and 15 hits through 10 playoff outings. He's exceeded 14 minutes of ice time in four straight games despite being listed on the Stars' fourth line. Steel is far from a reliable scorer, but he appears to have the trust of head coach Pete DeBoer to handle a versatile depth role during the postseason.

Duchene notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Duchene has gone five games without a goal. Through 10 playoff contests, he has one tally, three assists, 13 shots on net, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. With Tyler Seguin scoring twice and looking more like himself in Saturday's victory following a late-season injury, Duchene's offense could get a boost.

Stankoven scored a pair of goals, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Predictably, adjusting to the playoffs has been tougher for the 21-year-old rookie than it was when he came up for the last quarter of the regular season. Stankoven is up to four points, 22 shots on net, 15 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 10 playoff contests. He's seen some even-strength time on the first line, but his usage overall is more limited than that role would suggest, as head coach Pete DeBoer is likely trying to shelter Stankoven, especially on the road.

Seguin scored two goals on five shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Seguin buried the go-ahead goal at 15:13 of the second period and added an empty-netter in the third. The 32-year-old went without a goal in the first eight games of the playoffs, but he's now scored three times over the last two contests. He's at six points, 33 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-6 rating through 10 postseason outings. Seguin was bothered by a lower-body injury late in the season, but his recent offensive success suggests that he has put that issue behind him.

Marchand (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Game 4 versus Florida on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Marchand will miss at least one contest after being injured in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers. He has racked up three goals and 10 points in 10 outings this postseason. Marchand could be replaced in the lineup by Danton Heinen (undisclosed), who has missed the past five games.

Rantanen scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Rantanen tied the game at 1-1 in the second period, but the Avalanche couldn't build on his goal. The winger was held off the scoresheet for the first time in the playoffs in Game 2, but he bounced back well. He's produced three goals, nine assists, 21 shots on net, 14 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over eight postseason appearances in a top-line role.

Dadonov recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Dadonov ended a four-game slump when he set up the first of Tyler Seguin's two goals in the game. With four points and nine shots on net over 10 playoff appearances, Dadonov is doing a decent job at providing depth scoring for the Stars. He remains in a bottom-six role and is unlikely to produce consistent offense.

Benn recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Benn helped out on Tyler Seguin's empty-net goal in the third period. Benn is already at four points through three games in the second round after earning three points in seven contests against Vegas during the opening round. The 34-year-old forward has added 16 shots on net, 31 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 10 playoff outings while filling a middle-six role.

Hintz recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Hintz had a four-point performance in Game 2, and he got back on the scoresheet with a helper on a Logan Stankoven empty-netter in Game 3. With six points through 10 playoff outings, it's fair to ask a bit more of Hintz on offense. The center has added 13 shots on net, 15 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-1 rating this postseason, though he remains firmly in a top-line role.

Robertson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Robertson has a helper in all three second-round games so far, though this was his first to not come on the power play. The 24-year-old winger is up to eight points, 19 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 10 playoff contests. He's not dominating in the postseason, but the Stars' balanced offense doesn't require Robertson to hit lofty scoring totals.

Toews posted an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Toews helped out on a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period. The helper was Toews' first point over three appearances in the second round. The defenseman is up to six points, 15 shots on net, 14 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through eight playoff contests. He continues to play on the top pairing, which gives him plenty of ice time with the Avalanche's top players.

Heiskanen provided an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Heiskanen set up Logan Stankoven's first playoff goal at 18:39 of the first period. With four points over three games in the second round, Heiskanen is looking like himself again after his offense tailed off late in the first round. He's at three goals, six helpers, 26 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-6 rating through 10 playoff appearances. He can be a big factor on offense, though his surface stats defensively are likely to suffer from dealing with tough matchups.

Schneider provided an assist and blocked four shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

Schneider snapped his eight-game point drought with the primary helper on Barclay Goodrow's tally in the second period. Through eight playoff contests, Schneider has eight shots on net, 14 hits, 14 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating. The 22-year-old defenseman remains in a bottom-four role, and after logging 19 points, 167 hits and 133 blocks in 82 regular-season outings, his contributions are likely to remain limited to physical play.

Gustafsson posted an assist and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

Gustafsson snapped a five-game point drought when he helped out on a Will Cuylle goal in the first period. Through eight playoff contests, Gustafsson has three assists, six shots on net, 16 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He remains in a third-pairing role, so a large uptick in offense is unlikely to happen for the 32-year-old.

Trouba provided an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

Trouba helped out on an Alexis Lafreniere tally in the third period. Offense hasn't been a strong suit for Trouba in the playoffs -- he's earned three assists to go with 33 hits, 41 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating over eight contests. The 30-year-old defenseman was a little shaky in his own zone Saturday, but he continues to fill a veteran role on the Rangers' blue line.

DeAngelo logged an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

DeAngelo has earned both of his helpers this postseason over the last three games. While he continues to see a bottom-four role due to the absence of Brett Pesce (lower body), DeAngelo isn't trusted to handle many minutes. In addition to two assists, he's managed 12 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over seven playoff appearances.

Bobrovsky will defend the road net in Game 4 against Boston on Sunday, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Bobrovsky has stopped 29 of 32 shots en route to winning his past two outings. He has posted a 6-2 record with a 2.62 GAA and an .892 save percentage through eight appearances this postseason. The Panthers can push the Bruins to the brink of elimination with a victory in Sunday's contest.

Georgiev surrendered two goals on 21 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Georgiev played better than the final score would indicate, but the Stars' overall game was too much for the Avalanche to handle. He's now lost consecutive contests for the first time this postseason. The 28-year-old is 5-3 with a 2.97 GAA and an .893 save percentage over eight playoff contests -- which is fairly similar to how he performed in the regular season. The Avalanche's offense is strong enough to avoid asking Georgiev to steal games, but he will need to be just a bit sharper in Monday's Game 4 to avoid putting his team on the brink of elimination.

Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

Two goals each from Logan Stankoven and Tyler Seguin ended up being plenty of support for Oettinger to earn his second win in a row. The 25-year-old goalie has allowed eight goals over three starts in the second round, but his starting job isn't in any danger. He's now 6-4 with a 2.12 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 playoff outings. Look for Oettinger to get the nod again in Monday's Game 4.

Shesterkin allowed four goals on 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

The defeat snapped Shesterkin's nine-game winning streak, which included the first seven contests of the Rangers' playoff run. He allowed three goals in the first period, and while the Rangers covered that damage, Brady Skjei's power-play tally late in the third was decisive. Shesterkin also hadn't allowed more than three goals in any of his last 14 appearances dating back to March 28. The 28-year-old has been exceptional so far, but a few bumps in the road can be expected in the postseason. Look for him to be back between the pipes on home ice in Monday's Game 5.

Andersen stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

Andersen got the nod for Game 4 after Pyotr Kochetkov couldn't turn the Hurricanes' fortunes around in Game 3. Andersen didn't have a great performance Saturday, but he did just enough to keep Carolina's season alive for one more contest. The 34-year-old is now 5-3 with a 2.63 GAA and an .897 save percentage through eight playoff outings. It won't get easier moving forward, as the Hurricanes are still facing elimination as the series shifts back to New York for Game 5 on Monday.

Georgiev will start at home in Saturday's Game 3 against Dallas, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Georgiev surrendered four goals on 31 shots en route to a 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2 on Thursday. He's 5-2 with a 3.10 GAA and an .886 save percentage in seven playoff contests this year. He struggled in the regular season, too, posting a 3.02 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 63 outings, but he still finished with an impressive 38-18-5 record thanks to the Avalanche's potent offense.
