Duchene produced two power-play assists Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

The veteran center helped set up tallies by Jason Robertson early in the first period and Miro Heiskanen late in the second, but Dallas couldn't find any more offense. Duchene has reeled off three straight multi-point performances and five of his seven points during that stretch, including both his goals, have come with the man advantage. He'll look to stay hot in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Rantanen pocketed two power-play assists Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

Dallas' top power-play unit continues to hum, and all five of Rantanen's points in the series so far -- one goal and four helpers -- have come with the man advantage. The star winger will look to extend his point streak to four games on home ice in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Oettinger made 40 saves Saturday in the Stars' 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild in Game 4 of their first-round series.

There wasn't much Oettinger could do on any of the pucks that got past him, including the OT winner that Matt Boldy tipped home on a shot from the blue line by Jared Spurgeon. The 27-year-old netminder sports a 2.69 GAA and .902 save percentage through four playoff games, and the series is tied 2-2 heading back to Dallas for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Fisker Molgaard scored twice in AHL Coachella Valley's 5-4 win over Bakersfield in Game 2 on Saturday.

Fisker Molgaard had the Firebirds' last two goals of the game, keeping their season alive for one more day, at least. He had 34 points over 49 regular-season appearances in the AHL, and he added two assists in 13 NHL contests with the Kraken. The Danish forward still has a bit to prove in the AHL, but he may see more time in the NHL in 2026-27.

Chatfield logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators in Game 4.

Chatfield had one helper, seven shots on net, four blocked shots, three hits and six PIM over four games as the Hurricanes swept the Senators out of the first round. The 29-year-old defenseman dealt with a lower-body injury late in the regular season but has been able to handle his usual top-four minutes in the playoffs. He posted 17 points, 100 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 72 regular-season outings.

Jarvis logged two assists in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators in Game 4.

Jarvis had gone six games without a point entering this contest. He also rested three times prior to the start of the postseason, but the Hurricanes got through a first-round sweep of the Senators without getting much out of the top line. Jarvis had 66 points over 71 regular-season outings this year. In his playoff career prior to this year, he picked up 19 goals and 43 points across 55 appearances.

York posted an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4.

York snapped an 11-game point drought with the helper. In that span, he still went plus-8 with 16 hits and 23 blocked shots. The 25-year-old is firmly in a top-four role this postseason. He produced 26 points, 89 shots on net, 145 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 74 regular-season contests this year.

Barkey scored a goal, added two PIM and logged four hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4.

Barkey had gone nine contests without a goal entering this game. He's picked up two points, two shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating over his first four playoff outings. The 20-year-old rookie logged 17 points, 43 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-6 rating over 43 regular-season games.

Konecny scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4.

This tally ended a nine-game goal drought for Konecny. The 29-year-old has been fine this postseason with three points, five shots on net, 16 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over four contests. Konecny came into this postseason a veteran of two prior playoff runs, in which he accumulated a total of eight points over 22 outings. He had 27 goals, 68 points, 108 hits, 168 shots on net and 59 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances this year.

Vladar allowed three goals on 20 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins in Game 4. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Vladar was questionable due to an arm injury sustained in Game 3, but he was able to play. It's unclear how much that injury might have impacted his performance in this contest. The 28-year-old is 3-1 this postseason, allowing just seven goals on 94 shots over four contests. Assuming the injury concern doesn't resurface, Vladar will likely be between the pipes again for Game 5 in Pittsburgh on Monday.
