    • Plucks apple Friday
      Stankoven logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

      Advice: Stankoven has just two helpers over five contests in the Western Conference Finals after picking up four points in the second round. The 21-year-old forward is at eight points, 33 shots on net, 21 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 18 playoff outings. He'll likely continue to see middle-six minutes as the Stars look to keep their season alive in Game 6 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:00 pm
       
    • Helpers in consecutive games
      Harley notched an assist and blocked six shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

      Advice: The six blocks were one off Harley's playoff high. More notably, he got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row, assisting on a Wyatt Johnston tally in the third period to break up Stuart Skinner's shutout bid. Harley has been limited to four helpers over 18 playoff outings, but he's added 50 blocks, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating in a top-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Garners assist
      Henrique recorded an assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Henrique has a goal and an assist over three games since he returned from an ankle injury. The 34-year-old forward is up to four points, seven shots on net, 30 hits and an even plus-minus rating through nine playoff appearances. The Oilers have found success with him on the third line, so it's unlikely his role will change heading into Game 6 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Scores first playoff goal
      Broberg scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Broberg's first career playoff goal stretched the Oilers' lead to 3-0 in the second period. The defenseman has played in each of the last two games, replacing Vincent Desharnais in a third-pairing role. With limited minutes, Broberg is unlikely to be a steady source of offense, and he also lacks the physicality that kept Desharnais in the lineup for so long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 pm
       
    • Two power-play goals in win
      Nugent-Hopkins scored two power-play goals in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: The pair of goals were the first power-play tallies for either team in the Western Conference Finals. A lack of power-play production for the Oilers will typically hurt Nugent-Hopkins more than other players -- he's earned nine of his 20 points this postseason with the man advantage, including four of his six goals. The veteran forward has added 24 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 17 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:34 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will play Friday in Game 5 against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured after blocking a shot in Game 4 on Wednesday but won't miss any additional time. He's tallied just one assist through 17 appearances this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 pm
       
    • Heading to SHL
      Larsson signed a two-year deal with Malmo of the Swiss Hockey League on Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Friday.

      Advice: Larsson had seven goals, 33 points and 46 PIM in 61 regular-season contests with AHL Belleville in 2023-24. The 27-year-old has recorded three goals, 24 points and 52 PIM in 172 career NHL games, but he didn't play at the top level in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:30 pm
       
    • Game-time decision Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 versus Edmonton on Friday, though coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured blocking a shot Wednesday in the second period and was unable to return. Tanev is a stud defensively and if he is unable to go, the Stars will need to fill a big hole on the blue line. Lian Bichsel is poised to make his NHL debut if Tanev is unable to go.

    • Snags helper in win
      Ekblad recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Ekblad was able to bring his six-game pointless streak to a close with his helper Thursday but remains mired in a 29-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 20 versus the Senators. While the blueliner should continue to register plenty of hits and blocks in the postseason, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him suddenly producing points regularly.
