Rodrigues scored a goal on three shots and added eight hits in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues contributed to the Panthers' third-period rally in their series-clinching win. The goal was his first of the playoffs, and he's added one assist, seven shots on net, 25 hits and an even plus-minus rating over five postseason outings. He should continue to occupy a middle-six role.

Rodrigues supplied an assist in Game 4 on Saturday, albeit in a 6-3 road loss to the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues had two assists in two road games versus the Bolts in the regular season, but the Panthers were overwhelmed by the Lightning this time around as that team had been facing a possible first-round series sweep. Rodrigues just capped off his second straight season with 39 points, starting in 2022-23 as a member of the Avalanche. A third-line role limits his fantasy prospects, though he continues to work on the man advantage in the playoffs.

Rodrigues (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Dallas, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues should be ready to return Thursday against Carolina. He has picked up 10 goals, 36 points, 152 shots on net and 76 hits through 65 contests this campaign. Rodrigues will be replaced in the lineup by Kyle Okposo, who will make his Florida debut after being acquired from Buffalo on Friday.

Rodrigues (lower body) will be a game-time call for Tuesday's game versus Dallas, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues' spot in the lineup was filled by new man Kyle Okposo at Monday's practice. After a poor February in which the 30-year-old Rodrigues was limited to four assists without a goal in 11 contests, he seems to have rediscovered his game with two goals and an assist in his last five appearances.

Rodrigues (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Flames after getting hurt in the second period.

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues required assistance getting to the locker room after appearing to block a shot off his left ankle. The veteran forward has amassed three points over five games in March. The Panthers begin a two-game road trip Tuesday in Dallas, and it's unclear if Rodrigues will be available for that contest.

Rodrigues produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

After helping to set up the first goal of the afternoon, a second-period strike by Brandon Montour, Rodrigues potted his own tally early in the third. The 30-year-old snapped a five-game point drought and 12-game goal drought in the process, and while his early hot streak is a distant memory, he's provided decent secondary scoring since the All-Star break with six points in 10 contests.

Rodrigues collected two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Both helpers came in the second period, as the 30-year-old had a hand in tallies by Matthew Tkachuk and Aaron Ekblad. It was Rodrigues' first multi-point performance in over a month, but the streaky winger is teasing another surge of fantasy utility. Through the last six contests sandwiched around the All-Star break, he's delivered one goal and five points -- a vast improvement on the one goal and six points he eked out over the prior 21 games.

Rodrigues (lower body) is good to play Saturday versus Colorado, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Rodrigues has seven goals and 24 points in 38 appearances this season. Although he was a game-time call, he ultimately won't miss a full contest due to the injury. Rodrigues is projected to serve on the top line alongside Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart.
