  • Gets nod for Game 1
    Oettinger will start Game 1 on Tuesday at home against Colorado in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

    Advice: Oettinger was stellar in the first round against Vegas, recording a .925 save percentage and allowing only 14 goals in seven appearances. The 25-year-old will have a tough matchup against Colorado, who leads the league in playoff goals with 28 in only five games. The Stars will likely continue to ride Oettinger throughout their postseason run. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago

    Advice: Wotherspoon has played in six straight games since entering the lineup for Game 3 of the first round. The helper was his first point since March 26. The 26-year-old defenseman will continue to work in a bottom-pairing role, so there's not much fantasy appeal in his game.

    Advice: Van Riemsdyk has a helper in three straight contests, and he's up to four points over six playoff outings. The 35-year-old winger's continued success on offense can only help him stick in the lineup as a bottom-six forward with power-play skills. In addition to his offense, he's picked up 11 hits, 10 sohts on net and a plus-3 rating this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
