    • 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
       
    • Gets first point of playoffs
      Perry posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Perry fell out of favor for the Oilers late in the second round -- his appearance Wednesday ended a stretch of five straight healthy scratches for the veteran winger. He was also able to snap a 12-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan McLeod tally in the first period. The 39-year-old Perry's best years are well behind him at this point, but he can still be an effective depth forward and pest. Given the Oilers' win in Game 4 to even the Western Conference Finals at two games apiece, it wouldn't be surprising to see Perry get a run in the lineup over the rest of the series.

    • On three-game point streak
      Brown logged a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Brown set up Mattias Janmark's tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. Over the last three games, Brown has a goal and two assists, stepping up as a solid depth scorer for the Oilers. He's at four points, six shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 10 playoff appearances in a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:32 pm
       
    • Nets shortie Wednesday
      Janmark scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Janmark's goal at 14:31 of the second period was the first special-teams tally for either team in the series. It also stood as the game-winner as the Oilers evened the Western Conference Finals at two games apiece. The 31-year-old forward has been limited to a bottom-six role this postseason, earning four points, 13 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances while offering steady defensive play.

    • Responds well to scratch
      McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: McLeod was scratched for Game 3 after enduring a 19-game point drought that included all of the playoffs. The 24-year-old's exclusion from the lineup was a one-game thing, and he made good on an opportunity to return to action by scoring in the first period to begin the Oilers' comeback. McLeod had 30 points in 81 regular-season outings in a middle-six role. His main contributions come from speed and penalty killing, so he shouldn't be expected to generate steady offense moving forward. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:16 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.

    • On unconditional waivers
      Nousiainen was put on unconditional waivers by Los Angeles on Wednesday for the purpose of terminating his contract, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

      Advice: Nousiainen had nine assists in 52 regular-season contests with AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also registered two helpers in eight minor-league playoff outings. If the 23-year-old clears waivers as expected, he might return to his native Finland. Before signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings in March 2022, he spent parts of four seasons with the KalPa Kuopio of Finland's Liiga. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:21 pm
       
    • 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
       
    • Has primary helper in win
      Forsling had an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win versus the Rangers in Game 4.

      Advice: Forsling helped out on a Sam Bennett tally in the second period to tie the game at one apiece. Forsling added three shots on goal, four hits and a plus-1 rating in 22:42 of ice time. The 27-year-old has been a consistent source of offense for Florida -- he has points in four of his last five games and he leads the team in points on the backend. Forsling has three goals, seven assists and a plus-10 rating in 15 postseason appearances so far. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:26 am
