  • Signs two-year deal
    Gruden penned a two-year, two-way contract with the Penguins on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gruden played in just 13 games at the NHL level this season in which he generated one goal on nine shots, 35 hits and five blocks while averaging 8:40 of ice time. At this point, the youngster will be hard-pressed to break into the 23-man roster full-time next season but should see his fair share of call-ups throughout the campaign.

  • Registers assist Monday
    Holloway logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Holloway has a goal and an assist over his last two games. The 22-year-old entered the postseason with just 89 games of NHL experience, but he's quickly showing he's taken strides in his development as one of the more impactful depth players on the Oilers' roster. The forward has four points, 14 shots on net, 34 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 12 playoff appearances. He's seen even-strength minutes on the second line lately, though his overall ice time remains limited. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:18 pm
     
  • Helps out on power play
    Draisaitl logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Draisaitl has yet to be held off the scoresheet through two rounds of the playoffs. He kept the streak alive with a secondary helper on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second-period tally, which was the game-winner. Draisaitl is up to eight goals, 16 assists, 12 power-play points, 45 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 12 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:15 pm
     
  • Tallies in Game 7 win
    Hyman scored a goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Hyman went cold in the middle of the second round, but he had a goal in each of the last two games to bounce back at a good time. The 31-year-old winger leads the playoffs with 11 tallies, and he's added 50 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating over 12 appearances while consistently playing in a top-line role.

  • One of each in win
    Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins stepped up late in the second round with five points over the last two games to help the Oilers advance. The 31-year-old is up to four goals, 12 assists, 17 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 playoff outings. He should begin the Western Conference Finals on the first line alongside Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:06 pm

  • Manages just one postseason point
    Heinen struggled in the playoffs, generating a lone helper in eight games, after reaching the 30-point threshold in the regular season.

Despite limited power-play opportunities, the 28-year-old winger produced 17 goals and 19 assists, topping 30 points for the fourth time in his eight-year career. Looking ahead to next season, Heinen will hit the open market July 1 and could sign with a new team. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:49 am
     
  • Not playing Monday
    Henrique (ankle) will not suit up for Game 7 against Vancouver on Monday, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.

The veteran forward scored two points in Game 1 against the Kings during the first round but has not scored a point in five straight appearances. His status for the next round -- if Edmonton wins Game 7 against the Canucks -- is unclear at this time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:53 pm
