    • Two goals to clinch series
      Draisaitl scored a pair of goals on a team-high six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Kings.

      Advice: Draisaitl tied the game 2-2 midway through the second period with a power-play goal before putting Edmonton ahead just a few minutes later with a second tally, beating David Rittich with a one-timer off a Connor McDavid feed. It was an excellent start to the post-season for Draisaitl -- the 28-year-old center tallied five goals and 10 points in the Oilers' decisive five-game series victory.

    • Set to resume skating
      Bennett (upper body) is expected to skate Thursday for the first time since he was injured April 23. He might be available for Game 1 of Florida's second-round matchup against the winner of the Boston-Toronto series, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

      Advice: Bennett missed the final three contests of the first round due to the injury. He had 20 goals, 41 points, 100 PIM and 173 hits in 69 regular-season appearances. Bennett is likely to serve in a top-six capacity once he's healthy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:04 am
       
    • Slides assist Tuesday
      Vilardi recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.

      Advice: Vilardi picked up four helpers, nine shots on net, four hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating over five playoff contests. The 24-year-old had 36 points in just 47 regular-season outings, frequently featuring in a top-six role for the Jets. He is under contract for 2024-25 and should return to a similar assignment, which could put him in line for a breakout year before he reaches restricted free agency.

    • Sets up decisive goal
      Draisaitl recorded a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Kings in Game 4.

      Advice: Draisaitl has eight points over four playoff outings, and six of those points have come with the man advantage. He set up Evan Bouchard's second-period marker Sunday, which was enough to give the Oilers a 3-1 lead in this first-round series. While Draisaitl's 5-on-5 offense has been lacking, he continues to be a reliable scorer while seeing big minutes in the top six and on the power play. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:34 pm
       
    • Picks up helper in overtime win
      Pettersson notched an assist in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4.

      Advice: Pettersson helped out on Brock Boeser's game-tying goal with eight seconds left in the third period. The 25-year-old Pettersson has a helper in each of the last two contests. He's added six hits, five blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over four playoff outings -- struggles that have seen him lose ice time to J.T. Miller in the top six. Pettersson remains in a position to put offense on the board, but he needs to start cashing in a bit more to be useful to fantasy managers in playoff competitions.

    • Three-point effort in Game 3 win
      Draisaitl scored twice on four shots, added an assist, went plus-2, blocked two shots and logged two PIM in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Draisaitl's first goal was at even strength, while his other two points were on the power play. The 28-year-old has been in peak form with three goals, four helpers, 15 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through three playoff contests. With the Oilers leading the series 2-1, Draisaitl is likely to remain on the second line rather than moving up to play alongside Connor McDavid. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:22 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.

    • Out at least one week
      Bennett (upper body) is expected to be sidelined for at least a week, the team announced Wednesday.

      Advice: Bennett scored a goal and picked up an assist in Game 2 against the Lightning before being forced to leave the game due to his upper-body issue. According to coach Paul Maurice, the news on the 27-year-old winger's injury was better than anticipated. Based on his timeline, Bennett should be expected to miss at least the team's next three games, though it could be longer. In Bennett's absence, Anton Lundell and Evan Rodrigues could both be candidates to move into a top-six role. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:19 am
       
    • Adds helper in loss
      Vilardi notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

      Advice: Vilardi has earned three helpers through two playoff contests. He's also recorded four shots on net while seeing top-line minutes. His scoring upside is limited compared to his linemates Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor, but Vilardi could have some extra fantasy appeal if he stays in a first-line role throughout the playoffs.
