  • Returns with two helpers
    Hintz logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Hintz set up the first two goals of Jason Robertson's hat trick.

The center is up to two goals, six helpers, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff appearances. Hintz should see significant ice time for the Stars moving forward, so he'll be a solid option in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm

    Robertson scored three goals and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Robertson entered Monday with no goals over his last 10 games. Part of that slump coincided with the absence of Roope Hintz, who returned from an upper-body injury and assisted on the first two goals of Robertson's hat trick in this comeback win. Robertson is up to six goals, 16 points, 33 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 16 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:49 pm
     
  • Settles in after rocky start
    Oettinger stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Oettinger gave up two goals in the first period, but he was able to stabilize to end the first period. The Stars' offense showed up in the second and third while Oettinger remained steady to earn his second win in a row. The 25-year-old could be reasonably expected to have a tougher time on the road, where the Oilers will be able to dictate the line matchups to a greater extent. Oettinger has allowed seven goals over three games in the Western Conference Finals and should continue to handle all of the goaltending duties for the Stars. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 pm
