  • Contributes helper
    Ekholm logged an assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: The assist was Ekholm's first point in three playoff outings, to go with seven shots on net, four hits and five blocked shots. The 33-year-old defenseman had a career-high 45 points and a plus-44 rating over 79 regular-season appearances. His focus remains on keeping the Oilers' defensive zone clear, but he can also chip in solid secondary scoring from his top-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:36 pm
     
  • Grabs power-play apple
    Bouchard notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and 14 PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Bouchard has five helpers, including three on the power play, through three playoff contests. The defenseman has also earned seven blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The bulk of Bouchard's penalty trouble came from a misconduct in the third period -- he typically won't spend much time in the sin bin, but he can help out with power-play production and blocks.

  • Pockets helper in loss
    DeMelo notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: The point was DeMelo's first in three playoff outings. The defenseman has added three shots on net, 15 hits and two blocked shots while playing in his usual top-four role. He had a career-high 31 points in 82 regular-season outings, but offense is usually a secondary component of his game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:12 pm
     
  • Nets power-play goal in loss
    Morrissey scored a power-play goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

    Advice: Morrissey has two goals and a helper, as well as six shots on net, four hits and nine blocks through three playoff outings. His tally midway through the second period gave the Jets a 2-1 lead, but the Avalanche rallied and ran away with the win in the third period. Morrissey will continue to provide solid all-around production in a top-pairing role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:54 pm
     
  • Provides helper Friday
    Manson notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 2.

    Advice: Manson has strung together a five-game point streak with two goals and three assists in that span. He has a goal, two helpers, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through three playoff outings. He stayed in a top-four role Friday with the return of Samuel Girard (concussion) -- Sean Walker was demoted to the third pairing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:47 pm
     
  • Nabs helper in postseason debut
    Girard recorded an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Girard missed four games with a concussion, but he returned with 21:05 of ice time in Friday's contest. He also snapped the 10-game point drought that led into his absence, assisting on a Ross Colton tally in the third period. Caleb Jones was scratched to make way for Girard, who should hold down a top-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:43 pm
     
  • Logs power-play helper
    Makar notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Makar has a goal, five assists, 11 shots on net and eight blocked shots through three playoff contests. He's on a five-game point streak as well, with nine points in that span, including four on the power play. Makar's roles on the top pairing and first power-play unit see him logging a ton of ice time, so there's no reason to think his offense will drop off much during the postseason.

  • Collects pair of points
    Toews scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

    Advice: Toews earned his first multi-point effort in six games. The defenseman helped out on an Artturi Lehkonen tally in the third period before depositing the empty-netter. In addition to three points, Toews has three shots on net, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through three playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:20 pm
     
  • Exits Friday's contest
    Stastney (upper body) will not return to Friday's game against the Canucks.

    Advice: Stastney logged just 6:36 before suffering an injury Friday. He's been held without a point in five straight games dating back to the regular season. An update on his status should be available before Game 4 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:19 pm
