Johnston earned a pair of assists in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnston has been fantastic in the postseason, racking up three goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in five contests. The 20-year-old center avoided the sophomore slump during the regular season, setting new personal bests in goals (32), assists (33) and shots (216).

Nugent-Hopkins earned a pair of assists in a 4-3 victory over the Kings in Game 5 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nugent-Hopkins has managed just two shots over his last four games, failing to find the back of the net along the way, but he's chipped in five helpers over that stretch. In fact, dating back to the regular season, the veteran center has scored only one goal in his previous 10 appearances.

Roy notched a pair of helpers in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Roy was able to bring a six-game pointless streak to a close with his two helpers but it wasn't enough to stave off elimination for Los Angeles. Unless the Kings can come to an agreement soon, the blueliner is set to be an unrestricted free agent July 1. Roy should have plenty of offers if he goes to the open market after reaching the 20-point mark for the third consecutive campaign.

Gavrikov picked up an assist in a 4-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gavrikov ended the 2023-24 campaign stuck in a 17-game goal drought during which he put just 19 shots on net. During that stretch, the Russian blueliner did chip in five assists, including two in postseason action. Despite the slow end to the year, Gavrikov still managed to get back over the 20-point threshold after missing that mark last season.

Englund recorded an assist in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Englund registered his first point since March 15 versus the Blackhawks, a stretch of 20 games without writing his name on the scoresheet. In 82 games during the regular season, the 28-year-old blueliner managed one goal and nine helpers, reaching the 10-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much more out of Englund heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Bourque was reassigned to AHL Texas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bourque had 26 goals and 77 points in 71 AHL regular-season contests in 2023-24. He also made his NHL debut April 6, recording two shots and a hit in 10:56 of ice time. Bourque figures to be a key player for Texas in its upcoming playoff series against Milwaukee.

Barron has a knee injury that forced him to miss the last six games of the season, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barron suffered the injury versus the Kraken on Apr. 16. He had 11 goals and 18 points in 80 games this season as a bottom-six forward.

Swayman is slated to tend the twine on the road in Game 6 against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage while going 3-2-0. After the Game 5 loss Tuesday, there was certainly a chance the Bruins would turn back to Linus Ullmark, however, they will continue to ride Swayman into Game 6.

Schenn (illness) is considered day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schenn's status may not be determined until closer to puck drop Friday but the Preds recalled Kevin Gravel from AHL Milwaukee just in case. The 34-year-old Schenn isn't exactly an offensive dynamo considering he is goalless in his last 31 contests during which he generated a lone helper.

Gravel was elevated from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gravel's promotion doesn't bode well for the availability of Luke Schenn (illness) or Spencer Stastney (upper body) for Game 6 against the Canucks on Friday. In the minors this season, the 32-year-old Gravel has contributed just 10 points in 63 outings, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to produce offensively even if he does get into the lineup for Game 6.
