Rotowire
Cuylle finished the regular season with 13 goals, eight assists and 247 hits in 81 appearances.

He's locked into a third-line role heading into the playoffs but rarely features on the Rangers' outstanding power play or penalty kill.

Cuylle put the Rangers up 2-1 in the second period, getting open for a stretch pass at the Islanders' blue line before hammering the puck past Ilya Sorokin.

He added two shots and a plus-2 rating to his ledger in the victory. Cuylle has a bright future as a power forward for the Rangers, though his path to a larger role in the immediate future is complicated by the organization's depth at left wing.

Rangers' Will Cuylle: Pots seventh goal
Rotowire
Cuylle scored his seventh goal of the season in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
He also added two shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating to his ledger. Four of Cuylle's goals on the year have come in the last 12 games, but those are his only points during that stretch as his checking-line role limits his opportunities. The 2020 second-round pick has some offensive skill should he ever get a chance to show it, however, racking up 25 goals and 45 points in 69 games for AHL Hartford in 2022-23.
Cuylle scored a goal on two shots in a 6-5 win over the Sharks on Sunday.
Cuylle found the back of the net after having been stuck in a 10-game goal drought. The 21-year-old winger has managed just seven shots in his last six outings, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him scoring with any consistency moving forward.
