  • Tallies on power play
    Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins is reliant on power-play production, so it's no surprise he's been less effective in the later rounds with the Oilers' power play struggling. He has three goals and two assists over his last 10 contests, and his tally Saturday snapped a four-game slump. Overall, the 31-year-old has put up 21 points, 31 shots, 41 hits and a minus-1 rating over 22 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:50 pm
  • Two points in win
    Janmark scored a shorthanded goal, logged an assist, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Janmark made his impact early Saturday, scoring the opening goal and setting up Adam Henrique on the Oilers' second tally. Prior to Saturday, Janmark had gone without a point in his previous five games. The winger contributed three goals, three assists, 18 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating over 22 playoff contests in a bottom-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:47 pm
  • Sets NHL playoff record
    McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added three assists in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: With 32 assists this postseason, McDavid broke an NHL playoff record set by Wayne Gretzky in 1988. The 27-year-old McDavid has 11 multi-point efforts through 22 playoff contests, and it's just the second time he's had back-to-back multi-point games this postseason. The superstar center is at six goals, 38 points, 71 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-9 rating, and he'll look to keep his offense up in Game 5 on Tuesday in Florida. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:35 pm
  • Breakout effort in win
    Holloway scored twice, dished an assist, went plus-3, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Holloway hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since the second round, and he saw just 5:24 of ice time in Game 3 versus the Panthers. He responded to the benching in a big way, scoring in the first and third periods to help the Oilers force Game 5. Through 22 playoff outings, the 22-year-old forward has five goals, two assists, 28 shots on net, 73 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role.
