    • Between pipes in Game 5
      Skinner will defend the road crease in Dallas for Game 5 on Friday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

      Advice: Skinner gave up a pair of early goals in Game 4 and then shut the door, stopping 20 shots as the Oilers evened the series at 2-2 with a 5-2 win Wednesday. Skinner has a 2.34 GAA and a .900 save percentage in four games against Dallas in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:57 am
       
    • Falters in Game 4
      Oettinger allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Wednesday's Game 4. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Oettinger was spotted a 2-0 lead early in the first period, but he couldn't hold back the surge the Oilers generated after that. They got to him twice in both the first and second periods. Oettinger is down to 10-7 with a 2.20 GAA and a .919 save percentage this postseason after allowing three or more goals for the fourth time in the last six contests Wednesday. Despite the recent inconsistent play, the 25-year-old is just about a guarantee to start in Friday's pivotal Game 5 back in Dallas. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Big impact in Game 4 win
      Nurse logged an assist, 12 hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Nurse has been the target of some ire for his poor play in the playoffs, and he got off to an ugly start in this game. He was on the ice for both of the Stars' first-period tallies, including one that banked into the net off his body. Nurse was able to rebound, picking up a helper on a Ryan McLeod goal, and he followed up with a huge physical performance for the rest of the game. Nurse has just three assists with an ugly minus-12 rating through 16 playoff contests, but he's added 35 hits, 37 blocked shots and 31 shots on net while playing in a top-four role. That non-scoring production still gives him a path to relevance in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 pm
       
    • Evens series with Game 4 win
      Skinner stopped 20 of 22 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: It was an ugly first few minutes for Skinner, as the Stars held a 2-0 lead at 5:29 of the first period. The Oilers evened the score by the intermission and ran away with the game over the final 40 minutes, with Skinner hardly tested down the stretch. The Western Conference Finals are tied at two games apiece, and Skinner hasn't had to face more than 24 shots in any of the last three contests. He's now 9-5 with a 2.71 GAA and an .887 save percentage over 14 playoff games. He'll look to build some momentum for the Oilers in Game 5 on Friday in Dallas. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:39 pm
       
    • Set to start Game 4
      Oettinger is expected to tend the twine on the road in Game 4 against the Oilers on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

      Advice: Oettinger has been struggling with consistency of late, allowing just one goal in three of his last six outings while also giving up three or more tallies in the other trio of appearances. Still, the backstop is sporting a 2.05 GAA and .922 save percentage over that stretch while going 4-2. Based on his recent trend, Oettinger could be due for a strong performance in Game 4.

    • Tending twine in Game 4
      Skinner will patrol the home crease Wednesday in Game 4 against Dallas, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.

      Advice: Skinner surrendered four goals on 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. He has lost his last two outings, stopping 39 of 45 shots during that span. Skinner has posted an 8-5 record with a 2.76 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 13 starts this postseason. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:32 am
       
    • Yields four goals in loss
      Skinner stopped 17 of 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: For the second game in a row, the Oilers' defense did well at shot suppression, but it wasn't enough. Skinner squandered a 2-0 lead after the first period and has allowed eight goals on 78 shots through the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. Skinner briefly lost his starting job in the second round, but this is the first time he's lost consecutive contests this postseason. Game 4 is Wednesday in Edmonton, and head coach Kris Knoblauch hasn't revealed if it will be Skinner or Calvin Pickard who starts that game. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:10 pm
       
    • Settles in after rocky start
      Oettinger stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Oettinger gave up two goals in the first period, but he was able to stabilize to end the first period. The Stars' offense showed up in the second and third while Oettinger remained steady to earn his second win in a row. The 25-year-old could be reasonably expected to have a tougher time on the road, where the Oilers will be able to dictate the line matchups to a greater extent. Oettinger has allowed seven goals over three games in the Western Conference Finals and should continue to handle all of the goaltending duties for the Stars. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:47 pm
       
    • Set to start Game 3
      Oettinger will defend the road net in Game 3 versus Edmonton on Monday, according to Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com.

      Advice: Oettinger is coming off a 28-save performance in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. He has a 9-6 record with a 2.04 GAA and a .922 save percentage across 15 starts this postseason. Rotowire.com May 27, 1:08 pm
