Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Earns pair of helpers
Gostisbehere notched two assists, including one on the power play, and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Gostisbehere has gotten on the scoresheet in just three of 12 playoff games, but two of those have been multi-point efforts. The defenseman has a goal, four helpers, 19 shots on net, 10 hits, eight blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-1 rating. He continues to be a threat for offense on the top power-play unit -- he's earned three of his helpers with the man advantage.

Blues' Leo Loof: Signs with Finnish team
Loof signed a two-year contract with Ilves of Finland's Liiga on Tuesday.
Loof had two goals and six points in 47 regular-season games for AHL Springfield in 2025-26.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Nets goal in overtime loss
Matheson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Matheson picked up his first point of the series when he tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The defenseman has been fairly limited on offense this postseason with two goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 20 hits, 45 blocked shots and 18 PIM over 17 contests. He continues to fill a top-four role while generating most of his production in the non-scoring areas.

Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Opens scoring in Game 3
Gostisbehere scored a goal on two shots in a 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens on Monday in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
This was Gostisbehere's first tally of the postseason. He has added two assists (both on the power play), 18 shots on net, nine hits, five blocked shots and 12 PIM over 11 appearances. Gostisbehere is filling his usual roles on the third pairing and first power-play unit, though his offense hasn't been as fruitful as it was in his 50-point effort over 55 regular-season outings.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Pots power-play tally in Game 3
Hutson scored a power-play goal Monday during the Canadiens' 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The star blueliner snapped a slick feed from Cole Caufield into an open net early in the second period to tie the game at 2-2, but Montreal's scoring chances dried up after that -- the Habs managed just two shots on Frederik Andersen between the third period and OT. Hutson snapped a 13-game goal drought with the tally, but through 17 contests this postseason, he's collected three goals and 15 points. He may need to find another gear in Game 4 on Wednesday if Montreal is going to even the series.

Predators' Cameron Reid: Four points in win Monday
Reid scored a goal and added three assists in OHL Kitchener's 6-2 win over WHL Everett on Monday in a Memorial Cup round-robin game.
Reid has earned five points through two games, both of which were wins for Kitchener. The Nashville prospect finished the OHL playoffs with 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) and a plus-11 rating over 18 appearances. He doesn't have the flashiest offense, but Reid has done enough in that regard while being steady in his own zone.

Josh Manson D | COL
Avalanche's Josh Manson: Pockets helper Sunday
Manson notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Manson has battled an upper-body injury this postseason, and this was his first point since Game 3 of the first round. The defenseman has three helpers, 12 shots on net, 21 hits, five blocked shots and eight PIM across eight playoff outings. As long as he can keep suiting up, he should have a steady bottom-four role.

Devon Toews D | COL
Avalanche's Devon Toews: Offers two assists in loss
Toews notched two assists, including one while shorthanded, and added two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Toews helped out on goals by Gabriel Landeskog and Jack Drury in the first period. The 32-year-old Toews has contributed four helpers over his last four contests. He was able to see his workload decrease with the return of Cale Makar (upper body). Toews should continue to work on the first pairing at even strength, but his power-play time will drop. He has produced two goals, nine helpers, 15 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 12 playoff outings.

Kaedan Korczak D | PIT
Golden Knights' Kaedan Korczak: Adds pair of helpers
Korczak notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Korczak's role has shrunk as the postseason has progressed, but he was in the lineup over Ben Hutton in this game after being a scratch in four of the previous six contests. Even when he plays, Korczak is limited to third-pairing minutes, giving him minimal fantasy upside. He's earned three helpers, three shots on goal, 21 hits, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 11 playoff appearances.
