Pittsburgh completed its third signing of the day on Tuesday by announcing that they have extended defensemen Jack St. Ivany to a three-year, $2.325 million contract extension ($775,000 AAV). The 2018 fourth-round pick (112th overall) made his NHL debut in 2023-24 and had one assist, 11 SOG and two PIMs in 14 games played.
Silovs had one of his worst starts of the 2024 playoffs in Game 6 as he allowed five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a heartbreaking loss but will be given the chance for redemption as he takes the crease for Game 7 on Monday vs. Edmonton. The 23-year-old was thrust into the starting role after Thatcher Demko and Casey DeSmith both went down due to injury in the first round and has not looked back since, with his 5-4-0 record, .898 SV%, 2.89 GAA and 1 shutout in the playoffs. He will host the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, who are expected to be firing the puck a lot after leading the NHL in SOG per game in the regular season (33.8).
Silovs allowed three goals on 30 shots (.900 SV%) as Vancouver dropped Game 4 late in Edmonton last time out and will start Game 5 after being the first goalie off the ice. The 23-year-old rookie netminder opened the playoffs as Vancouver's third goalie but has done well locking down the crease for seven games so far with his 4-3-0 record, 2.71 GAA and .907 SV%. He will host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 5 on Thursday, who will be looking to keep the momentum going and break the series tie after winning Game 4 in the final moments.

With Devon Toews (illness) returning from injury for Game 5, Caleb Jones will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has appeared in three games for the Avalanche in the playoffs but has yet to pick up a point to go along with his six PIMs and +1 plus/minus.
Silovs allowed three goals on 45 shots in the Canucks win in Game 3 in Edmonton. It was a dazzling performance for the young netminder, who has gone 4-2 with a .908 SV% in his first six postseason starts.
Wotherspoon was a healthy scratch for Game 3 but will draw back into Boston's lineup for Game 4 on Sunday vs. Florida. The 26-year-old has appeared in seven games so far in the playoffs and has an assist, eight SOG and four PIMs while averaging 16:54 TOI.
Silovs allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in Game 2 as the Oilers evened out the series and will return to the crease on Sunday for Game 3 in Edmonton as he attempts to get back in the win column.

He will head to Edmonton on Sunday as Vancouver attempts to take a 2-1 series lead vs. the Oilers, who have won six of their first eight playoff games.

Heinen has not played since Game 5 vs. the Maple Leafs and remains day-to-day. Despite not being available for Game 3, Heinen did participate in Friday's morning skate, which suggests that he's not far from returning to the Bruins' lineup.
Silovs was perfect, stopping 28 of 28 shots to close out the Nashville Predators in Game 6 of Vancouver's opening series and is expected to start Game 1 on Wednesday in Edmonton. The 23-year-old entered the playoffs as Vancouver's third goaltender but has locked in the crease under an immense amount of pressure, with his 2-1-0 record, 1.70 GAA and .938 SV% through three playoff appearances so far. He will head to Edmonton to take on the Oilers on Wednesday, who finished off the Los Angeles Kings in five games in their opening-round series.
