Canucks' Filip Hronek: First playoff goal not enough
Rotowire
Hronek scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 7.
Hronek earned his first career playoff tally late in the third period, but the Canucks couldn't follow it up with an equalizer. The 26-year-old defenseman was limited to two points, 13 shots on net, 25 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 13 postseason appearances in his first taste of playoff action. Hronek will be a restricted free agent this summer -- the only skater on the Canucks' roster with that status -- so getting him signed will likely be a top priority for general manager Patrik Allvin.

Canucks' Filip Hronek: Contributes assist in win
Rotowire
Hronek notched an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Predators in Game 1.
Hronek ended the regular season on a four-game slump before resting for the finale. The 26-year-old defenseman had a career-high 48 points over 81 appearances, but just 19 of those points came over his last 45 outings as his offense faded a bit in the second half. He's still been a solid partner for captain Quinn Hughes on the top pairing, so Hronek's ice time should be steady in the playoffs.

Rotowire
Hronek earned an assist, fired three shots on goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.
Hronek has a goal and two assists over his last four games.

Rotowire
Hronek supplied two assists to complement a plus-4 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Hronek is enjoying the best of his six-year career, as he's cashed in on two goals and 30 assists. There's never been any question about Hronek's talent in terms of moving the puck, but he's truly firing on all cylinders after seemingly trying to do too much in Detroit between the previous five seasons. For extra perspective, consider that Hronek is tied for eighth in blueliner points, mirroring the total of Buffalo's elite rearguard Rasmus Dahlin.
