  • Brings physicality in Game 1
    Marchment dished out eight hits to go with five shots in a 3-2 loss to Edmonton in Game 1 on Thursday.

    Advice: Marchment remains mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he recorded 13 shots while also delivering 33 hits. Currently skating on a line with Matt Duchene and Joe Pavelski, the 28-year-old Marchment will need to start producing offensively if he wants to remain in a top-six role, especially once Roope Hintz (upper body) is cleared to return.

  • Earns helper in loss
    Dadonov registered an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Dadonov has a goal and three assists over his last five contests. The winger has benefited from taking on a larger role while Roope Hintz (upper body) is out. Dadonov has seven points, 20 shots on net, 15 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 14 playoff outings, so even with his recent increased offense, he's still little more than a complementary part of the Stars' attack.

  • Logs assist in loss
    Benn posted an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Benn capitalized on a turnover to set up Tyler Seguin's first goal of the game at 6:11 of the second period. While Benn wasn't much of a factor in the first round, he put up five points over six contests in the second round. The 34-year-old has nine points, 31 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 14 playoff outings while filling a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:28 pm
     
  • Gathers helper in Game 1
    Robertson posted an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Robertson still hasn't scored since Game 5 of the first round, but he's made up for it with eight helpers over his last seven contests. The winger is at 13 points, 28 shots on net, 23 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 14 playoff contests. Robertson continues to hold down a top-six role, and his increased physical play helps bolster his value in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 pm
     
  • Scores twice in loss
    Seguin scored two goals on six shots and added two hits in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Seguin willed the Stars back into the game with a tally in the second period and the equalizer with 3:23 left in the third. The comeback went no further, as the Oilers got a Connor McDavid goal 32 seconds into the second overtime. Seguin has turned up his offense with five goals and two assists over his last six games. He's at 10 points, 45 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-8 rating through 14 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Contributes assist in Game 1 win
    Kulak recorded an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Kulak has a helper in three of the last four games to provide some depth offense from the third defensive pairing. The 30-year-old is up to five points, 10 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-3 rating through 13 playoff appearances. While he won't see big minutes or power-play time, Kulak is a steady blueliner who can keep things under control in his own zone. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:14 pm
     
  • Pockets helper in win
    Nugent-Hopkins logged an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins' forechecking led to the Oilers' goal 32 seconds into the second overtime. The forward has six points and seven shots on net over his last three contests since returning to a top-line role. He's up to 17 points, 20 shots, 22 hits and a plus-4 rating through 13 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:11 pm
     
  • Sets up game-winner
    Bouchard notched an assist, four shots on goal, a plus-3 rating, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Bouchard's attempt was deflected in by Connor McDavid at the 32-second mark of the second overtime. The playoffs have elevated Bouchard's breakout year to the league stage -- he's picked up five goals and 16 helpers over 13 appearances while adding a plus-13 rating and 22 blocks. The 24-year-old defenseman will continue to get his looks in a top-pairing role and on the first power-play unit, where he's earned eight of his 21 points this postseason.

  • Point streak at 13 games
    Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Draisaitl opened the scoring 58 seconds into the second period, extending his point streak to 13 games in the process. It spans the entire postseason, with the center earning a league-leading 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) during the playoffs. Draisaitl has added 48 shots on net, 10 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. He's started the Western Conference Finals on his own line, but if the Oilers falter later in the series, he could once again be moved up to play alongside Connor McDavid.
