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.

Acciari notched an assist and six hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Acciari snapped a four-game skid after missing one contest due to an upper-body injury late in the regular season. The 34-year-old has been a regular on the fourth line this year, earning 25 points, 93 shots on net, 65 hits and 62 blocked shots over 67 regular-season appearances. Acciari is in the playoffs for the eighth time in his career, having earned nine points over 65 postseason outings over the previous seven runs.

Lizotte registered an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Lizotte missed the last 16 games of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, and this was his first point in four playoff outings. He had 19 points, 49 shots on net, 49 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 55 regular-season contests. This is Lizotte's fourth time in the postseason -- over the three previous runs he's been part of, he earned just two points across 15 appearances.

Dewar scored an empty-net goal and added five hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Dewar got on the scoresheet for the first time in four games in this series. He missed the last four contests of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old bottom-six forward had a career-best 30 points over 78 regular-season outings. Over three prior playoff runs, Dewar had collected just one assist over 13 games.

Letang scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Letang had gone without a goal over his previous 38 games, with his last tally being Jan. 1 against the Red Wings. His game-winning goal Saturday was his first point over four contests in this first-round series against the Flyers. The defenseman has added eight shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-3 rating. Prior to this playoff run, Letang had totaled 90 points over 149 career postseason outings.

Rakell scored a goal, dished an assist and added three hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Flyers in Game 4.

Rakell has a goal, three assists, seven shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over four contests in this first-round series. The 32-year-old has filled a top-six role, as expected. Rakell had made the playoffs on six previous occasions, racking up 19 points across 48 games in those postseason runs. He earned 48 points in 60 regular-season outings this year, so he has some scoring potential to tap into if the Penguins can keep the series alive again in Monday's Game 5.
