Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel tallied two assists, including a power-play helper, in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth. These are his first points in the first-round series. Among American players with at least 15 appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Eichel leads the pack with a scoring average of 1.07 points per game. Since April began, he has notched 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in nine contests. The Mammoth must find a way to tame Eichel, or they won't make it past the first round.

Los Angeles Kings left wing Artemi Panarin produced a power-play goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The second game of the series mirrored Game 1, with Panarin again L.A.'s lone goal-scorer on the power play. He's the eighth player in Kings history to score in both of his first two postseason outings with the team. Panarin has a lot of playoff pedigree, but it will take more than his efforts to get past the Presidents' Trophy winners. The series will continue on Thursday at Crypto.com Arena, where Panarin has been on the score sheet in five of his last six appearances.

Utah Mammoth winger Dylan Guenther collected his first Stanley Cup Playoffs points in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. The 23-year-old netted Utah's second goal of the night and combined with Kailer Yamamoto to set up Logan Cooley for the game-winning tally. Dating back to the regular season, Guenther now boasts seven multi-point efforts in his last 12 outings. He had a big campaign with 73 points (40 goals, 33 assists) in 79 regular-season games and has carried the momentum into the playoffs, showing good chemistry with Cooley and Yamamoto on the second line.

Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson scored twice as the team tied its first-round series against the Buffalo Sabres with a 4-2 road win on Tuesday night. Arvidsson set the tone in the contest as Boston jumped out to a commanding 4-0 lead. The Swedish forward had the perfect response to his rough Game 1 outing, when his line struggled and allowed Buffalo to open the series with a victory thanks to a third-period comeback. Secondary scoring behind David Pastrnak's line will be crucial to Boston's playoff chances, and Arvidsson is very capable of providing it. He finished the regular season with 25 goals and 54 points in 69 outings.
