  • 14-6-2 3rd Place
    • Strong in loss
      Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 6. The second goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Oettinger was sharp and occasionally spectacular in this contest, but his teammates couldn't solve Adin Hill at the other end of the ice. Oettinger gave up four goals in Game 1, but he's surrendered just nine tallies over the last five contests to give the Stars a solid chance against the defending champions. The 25-year-old is a near guarantee to start in Sunday's Game 7 at home, but he'll undoubtedly need more goal support in order for the Stars to keep their playoff run alive.

    • Starting Game 6
      Oettinger will get the starting nod for Game 6 in Vegas on Friday, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Oettinger has been dominant over the last three games, leading the Stars from a 2-0 deficit to a 3-2 lead in the series. Over that span, he's coughed up just six goals on 95 shots. Through five appearances this series, Oetinger has posted a .911 save percentage and a 2.31 GAA. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:41 pm
       
    • Not at practice Friday
      Drouin (lower body) is still absent from practice Friday, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.

      Advice: Drouin missed all five games of the opening round versus Winnipeg and has yet to make an appearance at practice during the postseason. The 29-year-old had his best offensive season as an NHLer in 2023-24, picking up 56 points in 73 games, including 19 points on the power play. Drouin saw plenty of time on the top line alongside Nathan MacKinnon during the regular season. Look for Valeri Nichushkin, who had seven goals in five games during the first round, to remain on the top line until Drouin is ready to return. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:40 am
       
    • Sharp in Game 5 win
      Oettinger stopped 25 shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stars' first-round series.

      Advice: Both goals he allowed came in the first period, and Oettinger slammed the door shut over the final 40 minutes to give Dallas its third straight victory. The 25-year-old netminder has a 2.31 GAA and .911 save percentage in his five starts this postseason, and he's given up exactly two goals in four straight outings. Oettinger will look to finish the job back in Vegas on Friday in Game 6. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:53 am
       
    • Starting Game 5
      Oettinger will guard the home goal versus the Golden Knights in Wednesday's Game 5, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Oettinger recovered from losing the first two games of the series in Dallas by winning the next two in Vegas. He'll look to keep that momentum going back on home ice in a pivotal Game 5. Oettinger has allowed 10 goals on 108 shots over the first four contests of the first round.

    • Three points to finish off Isles
      Jarvis scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in a 6-3 win over the Islanders on Tuesday in Game 5.

      Advice: The 22-year-old helped set up Carolina's first two tallies as the team grabbed a 2-0 lead inside the first four minutes of the first period. Jarvis then iced things late with an empty-netter. He piled up three goals and seven points in five games against the Isles, giving him plenty of momentum heading into the Hurricanes' second-round clash with the Rangers.

    • Still not skating
      Drouin (lower body) has yet to resume skating with the team but could still return during the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Coach Jared Bednar told reporters Wednesday, "Yeah. It fits the timeline. He's got a long way to go yet, (Drouin), because he hasn't hit the ice yet, right? He's still working on his rehab. The timeline was four weeks or less. We're still hoping for that. He's making progress, there's no question, so I'm hoping that he can get back. We'll see how long that other series goes and how much time we have," per Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette.

      Advice: Drouin has already been out of action for approximately two weeks. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old center was stuck in a four-game goal drought during which he recorded three helpers, six shots and three blocks while averaging 19:01 of ice time.

    • Evens series with Game 4 win
      Oettinger stopped 32 of 34 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.

      Advice: Oettinger matched his performance from Game 3, though the Stars' offense wasn't nearly as active Monday as it was Saturday. The 25-year-old has helped the Western Conference's top seed erase a 2-0 series deficit with back-to-back wins in Vegas. Oettinger has given up 10 goals on 108 shots in the first round so far. He'll almost certainly be between the pipes again for Wednesday's pivotal Game 5 in Dallas. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:09 pm
       
    • Scores lone goal in Game 5 loss
      Hedman scored a goal on six shots, added four hits and blocked three shots in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

      Advice: Hedman put the Lightning on the board in the second period, but they couldn't build any momentum. The 33-year-old did his part in the Lightning's first-round exit, racking up seven points, 15 shots on net, 13 hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over five contests. Hedman will be in the last season of his eight-year contract extension in 2024-25, but he should at least begin the campaign in his usual role as the Lightning's top blueliner.
