  • Not playing Thursday
    Lomberg (illness) will not play in Thursday's Game 3 versus Tampa Bay, according to Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now.

    Advice: Lomberg accompanied the Panthers to Tampa Bay, but he will be replaced by Kyle Okposo on the fourth line for Game 3. Lomberg had five goals, two assists, 80 PIM and 179 hits in 75 games during the regular season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:27 am
     
  • In doubt Friday
    Milano (undisclosed) missed Thursday's morning skate, raising doubts about his availability versus the Rangers for Game 3 on Friday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Advice: Milano is pointless in the postseason through two games while chipping in just one shot and a minus-2 rating over that span. Despite playing in only 49 regular-season contests, the 27-year-old winger still set a new personal best with 15 goals, though he missed the 30-point threshold for the first time in the last three years.

  • Game-time call against Canes
    Martin will be a game-time decision versus Carolina for Game 3 on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Martin averaged just 10:12 of ice time through the first two games of the series before picking up his undisclosed injury. If the veteran winger misses time, it's expected Ruslan Iskhakov will get a look on the fourth line, though both Oliver Wahlstrom and Simon Holmstrom could be in contention for a lineup spot as well.

  • Three points in Game 3 win
    Marchand scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added a power-play assist Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over the Maple Leafs in Game 3 of the Bruins' first-round series.

    Advice: The supreme agitator was at his frustrating best, adding six shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot, and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. While Wednesday's tallies were his first of the playoffs, Marchand has erupted for six points in three games as the Bruins have taken a 2-1 lead in the series. He'll look to stay hot Saturday in Game 4. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am
     
  • Might still play in Boston series
    McMann (lower body) could still be an option against Boston, likely returning for Game 5 or 6, Nick Barden of The Hockey News reports Thursday.

    Advice: Based on McMann's reported timeline, he won't be available for Game 4 on Saturday. Considering the winger has yet to resume skating with the team, his continued absence shouldn't come as a surprise. Prior to getting hurt, the Alberta native managed just one point over his last eight appearances, despite seeing time in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
     
  • Records helper
    Foegele notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Foegele has a goal and an assist through the first two games of the playoffs. He helped out on a Brett Kulak tally in the first period of this contest. Foegele has added seven shots on net, six hits and a minus-2 rating through the first two games of the series. The 28-year-old winger will have upside in DFS as long as he remains alongside Leon Draisaitl on the second line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 pm
     
  • Two more points in loss
    Draisaitl logged two assists (one on the power play), eight shots on net and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Draisaitl set up goals by Brett Kulak and Zach Hyman in the contest. Three of Draisaitl's four points over two playoff games have come on the power play. He's added 11 shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Draisaitl continues to center the second line, but the 28-year-old could eventually move to play alongside Connor McDavid if the Kings continue to have success, as the Oilers often put their best players together when playing from behind.

  • Scores on power play in loss
    Hyman scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Hyman has racked up four goals, one assist, eight hits and 11 shots on net through two playoff contests. His tally in the second period Wednesday tied the game at 3-3. After a 54-goal regular season, it's clear Hyman is dialed in as the finisher on the Oilers' top line while also serving as a strong net-front presence on the power play.

  • Tallies twice in loss
    Holloway scored two goals, went plus-2 and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: After the Oilers' top line dominated Game 1, Holloway showed off his skills from the fourth line in Game 2. He's picked up five goals and two assists over his last eight contests despite a fairly limited role. Holloway doesn't have a path to power-play time with the Oilers at essentially full health in the postseason, but he's doing all he can to solidify his place in the lineup.
