Verhaeghe scored his ninth goal of the postseason in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win versus New York in Game 4.

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.

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

After being held off the scoresheet in four consecutive contests prior to Game 3, Barkov now has 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.

Reinhart scored the game-winning goal in overtime in Tuesday's 3-2 win over New York in Game 4 of the series.

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 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.

Brown recorded an assist in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Brown has a goal and an assist over the last two games, his first time getting on the scoresheet in consecutive contests in all of 2023-24. The veteran winger is up to three points, six shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through nine playoff outings. Brown's recently solid play has helped him maintain a spot in the lineup over Corey Perry.

Henrique scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Henrique missed seven games with an ankle injury and returned to a third-line role, playing 13:41 in this contest. He scored a goal late in the second period to tie the game at 3-3, but the Oilers' offense stopped there. Henrique has three points, five shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff appearances. He's played in a variety of spots in the Oilers' lineup -- if the team continues to struggle, he may be moved from third-line center to a top-six spot on the wing.

Hyman scored a goal on seven shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Connor McDavid took a shot that banked in off Hyman's body at 2:02 of the first period. With four goals and an assist over his last five games, Hyman's offense is humming along at a fine pace. He's up to 13 tallies, 16 points, 63 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-7 rating through 15 playoff contests while filling a top-line role.

Sanford signed a one-year, two-way contract with Chicago on Tuesday.

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.

Benn logged two assists in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

Benn has two goals and four helpers during his current four-game point streak, with all of that offense coming at even strength. The 34-year-old helped out on Wyatt Johnston's go-ahead goal in the second period and Miro Heiskanen's empty-netter in the third. Benn is up to 13 points, 34 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-3 rating through 16 playoff contests as a reliable veteran in a middle-six role.

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.

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.

Robertson scored three goals and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

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.

Hintz (upper body) is in Monday's Game 3 lineup against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Hintz is set to return from a four-game absence after suffering an injury during Game 4 of the second round against Colorado. He has six points in 11 postseason games, including five points in four appearances last series. The 27-year-old will slot back into his usual top-six role.

Hintz (upper body) will be a game-time decision Monday in Game 3 versus Edmonton, per Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com.

If Hintz returns from a four-game absence in Monday's contest, he will likely occupy a top-six role and see time on the top power-play unit. He has produced two goals, six points, 13 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 15 hits in 11 outings this postseason.

Stecher is slated to have ankle surgery at some point this summer, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

Stecher managed to play in 54 regular-season games this year, recording one goal and six assists to go along with 51 shots on goal. The 30-year-old will look to be healthy before next season starts in October. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer.

Bouchard notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

Bouchard helped out Zach Hyman's opening goal early in the first period. The Stars have at least somewhat neutralized Bouchard in the Western Conference Finals, limiting him to two assists in three contests. He has 22 points (eight on the power play), 49 shots on net, 24 blocks, 13 hits and a plus-12 rating over 15 playoff appearances after playing above a point-per-game pace in the first two rounds.

Lindell provided an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

Lindell helped out on a Jason Robertson goal in the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. All four of Lindell's points this postseason have come in the last eight games, including a goal and an assist over his last two contests. The veteran defenseman is seeing a huge role as a shutdown player while adding 26 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 playoff appearances.

Heiskanen scored an empty-net goal, went plus-2 and blocked five shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

Heiskanen has a point in each of the last two contests, and he's blocked 10 shots over three games in the Western Conference Finals. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points, 37 shots on net, 39 blocks, 25 hits and a plus-2 rating over 16 playoff outings. Heiskanen was caught on the ice for opponents' goals early in the playoffs, but he hasn't logged a minus rating since Game 1 of the second round versus the Avalanche despite lining up against some of the best players in the league.

Hakanpaa (lower body) will not be available Monday against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Hakanpaa has not played since March 16 and there's been little update on his return status. The 32-year-old tallied 12 points in 64 games during the regular season.

Mikkola logged an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

Mikkola helped out on an Aleksander Barkov goal in the third period. The helper was Mikkola's first point in nine games since the start of the second round, though his lack of offense hasn't cost him a spot on the Panthers' second defense pairing. The 28-year-old has just three points to go with 11 shots on net, 43 hits, 20 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 14 playoff outings.

Shesterkin turned aside 37 of 40 shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 4.

Shesterkin was simply phenomenal in Tuesday's loss, but he couldn't carry New York to a two-game series lead. He was beaten on a perfect shot in overtime by Florida's Sam Reinhart after New York had a defensive breakdown leading up to the goal. Shesterkin has been busy during the postseason -- he's faced at least 25 shots on goal in 13 of 14 appearances. The 28-year-old has also seen more rubber in each subsequent game of this series, although the last three contests have gone to overtime. So far this postseason, Shesterkin is 10-4 with a 2.33 GAA and a .925 save percentage.

Bobrovsky made 21 saves on 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against New York in Game 4 of the series.

Bobrovsky was busy in the first period of Tuesday's win with 13 saves, but he only faced 10 more shots over the final 40 minutes. This was a result of Florida controlling the play over their opponent again -- it's the ninth time in the last 10 outings that Bobrovsky has faced less than 30 shots on goal. The 35-year-old netminder has a record of 10-5 with a 2.31 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 15 postseason appearances. Bob and the Panthers will be in New York on Thursday for Game 5.

Shesterkin is set to start on the road versus the Panthers in Game 4 on Tuesday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Shesterkin has won his last two contests after dropping Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He's now 10-3 with a 2.33 GAA and a .923 save percentage through 13 playoff outings. A win for Shesterkin and the Rangers on Tuesday would put them one victory away from making the Stanley Cup Finals.

Skinner will patrol the home crease Wednesday in Game 4 against Dallas, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

Skinner surrendered four goals on 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. He has lost his last two outings, stopping 39 of 45 shots during that span. Skinner has posted an 8-5 record with a 2.76 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 13 starts this postseason.

Bobrovsky will guard the home crease Tuesday in Game 4 against the Rangers, per Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida.

Bobrovsky has been solid thus far during this series against the Rangers, recording a .909 save percentage and allowing only seven goals in three games, though he gave up five in Game 3. The 35-year-old will perhaps need a stellar performance Tuesday for the Panthers to tie this series at two games apiece. He will have the home crowd in front of him for one of the biggest games in recent franchise history.

Skinner stopped 17 of 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

For the second game in a row, the Oilers' defense did well at shot suppression, but it wasn't enough. Skinner squandered a 2-0 lead after the first period and has allowed eight goals on 78 shots through the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. Skinner briefly lost his starting job in the second round, but this is the first time he's lost consecutive contests this postseason. Game 4 is Wednesday in Edmonton, and head coach Kris Knoblauch hasn't revealed if it will be Skinner or Calvin Pickard who starts that game.
