  • Scores goal in loss
    Lindell scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Advice: Lindell took a shot that banked in off Darnell Nurse for the Stars' second tally. The 30-year-old Lindell has two goals and a helper over his last three contests. He's played a larger role in the Western Conference Finals and was paired with Miro Heiskanen for Wednesday's game after most often being alongside Chris Tanev earlier in the postseason. Lindell has five points, 22 shots on net, 26 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 17 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:47 pm
     
  • Departs Wednesday's game
    Tanev (lower body) did not return to Wednesday's Game 4 after blocking a shot in the second period.

    Advice: The Stars initially labeled Tanev as questionable to return, but his inability to get back on the ice in this contest is not a positive sign. The 34-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Stars' defensive structure, so a potential absence for Friday's Game 5 or beyond could spell trouble for the team. If Tanev is unable to play, Nils Lundkvist is the most likely player to draw into the lineup, though he has seen very sheltered minutes when he's played during the postseason.

  • Won't play Wednesday
    Hakanpaa (lower body) isn't expected to play in Game 4 against Edmonton on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Advice: Hakanpaa hasn't been in the lineup since March 16, and it's unclear when he might be able to return. He had two goals, 12 points, 196 hits and 123 blocks in 64 appearances during the regular season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 am
     
  • Bends twine in Game 4
    Bennett scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Since returning from injury, Bennett has notched three goals and two assists, including three power-play points, in his last eight contests. The 27-year-old center has been boom or bust on the shot front over that stretch, having failed to garner a single shot in three of those eight outings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:23 am
     
  • Scores in return
    Henrique scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: Henrique missed seven games with an ankle injury and returned to a third-line role, playing 13:41 in this contest. He scored a goal late in the second period to tie the game at 3-3, but the Oilers' offense stopped there. Henrique has three points, five shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff appearances. He's played in a variety of spots in the Oilers' lineup -- if the team continues to struggle, he may be moved from third-line center to a top-six spot on the wing. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Posts helper in Game 3 win
    Lindell provided an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Lindell helped out on a Jason Robertson goal in the third period, which ended up being the game-winner. All four of Lindell's points this postseason have come in the last eight games, including a goal and an assist over his last two contests. The veteran defenseman is seeing a huge role as a shutdown player while adding 26 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:07 pm
     
  • Unavailable Monday
    Hakanpaa (lower body) will not be available Monday against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

    Advice: Hakanpaa has not played since March 16 and there's been little update on his return status. The 32-year-old tallied 12 points in 64 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:16 pm
     
  • Good to go Monday
    Henrique (ankle) will play Monday in Game 3 against Dallas, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

    Advice: Following a seven-game absence, Henrique will replace Ryan McLeod in the lineup for Monday's contest. The 34-year-old Henrique has generated one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. He will probably occupy a middle-six spot and see power-play time on the second unit in his return to action. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:45 am
     
  • Slides helper in overtime loss
    Rodrigues notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on a Gustav Forsling tally in the third period. For the most part, Rodrigues has filled a depth role this postseason, earning seven points, 26 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-2 rating over 14 contests. The 30-year-old can fill in for top-six minutes when necessary, but with the Panthers at full health, he's likely to remain on the third line. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:15 pm
