  • Seals win in overtime
    Bouchard scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.

    Advice: Bouchard tallied at 5:38 of the extra session to give the Oilers the win after they never led in regulation. The defenseman continues to excel in the postseason with two goals and nine assists through seven appearances. He's added 24 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating while playing on the top pairing. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Fills stat sheet Friday
    Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on four shots, dished three assists, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.

    Advice: Not bad for a guy who was considered a game-time decision after dealing with cramping issues in Wednesday's Game 1 and skipping practice Thursday. Draisaitl was involved in all of the Oilers' goals, including scoring their first one of the game. He was listed on the first line with Connor McDavid rather than centering his own line, though both players shared faceoff duties. Draisaitl is up to six goals, 10 assists, 30 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through seven playoff outings, and he's yet to be held off the scoresheet this postseason.

  • Four points in overtime win
    McDavid scored a goal on five shots, added three assists, logged three hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.

    Advice: McDavid's goal in the third period forced overtime, and he had a helper on the other three goals the Oilers scored in a back-and-forth game. The 27-year-old's exceptional playmaking has continued into the playoffs -- he has two goals and 15 assists through seven postseason appearances. McDavid has added 19 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating. He could be poised for even stronger offense than usual if head coach Kris Knoblauch keeps McDavid and Leon Draisaitl together moving forward. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Secondary assist in loss
    Pastrnak had an assist in Friday's 6-2 home loss to the Panthers.

    Advice: Pastrnak helped out on a Jake DeBrusk goal with a secondary assist in the Game 3 loss. The superstar winger also added three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-1 rating in 21:09 of ice time. More importantly, it was good to see Pastrnak feeling no ill-effects after fighting Florida's Matthew Tkachuk in Game 2. Pastrnak and the Bruins will look to even up the series at two apiece Sunday in Boston. Rotowire.com Today, 9:42 pm
     
  • Primary helper in loss
    Lohrei registered an even-strength assist in Friday's 6-2 loss to Florida.

    Advice: Lohrei had the primary helper on a Jake DeBrusk goal in the third period that cut Florida's lead to two. The 23-year-old Louisiana native also added one shot, one hit and one block in 20:13 of ice time. The young blueliner is making a name for himself this postseason -- Lohrei is up to one goal and three assists in eight games to go along with a plus-2 rating. Lohrei's next chance to help Boston's offensive production will come Sunday in Game 4. Rotowire.com Today, 9:11 pm
     
  • Goal and assist in loss
    DeBrusk scored a goal and added a helper in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.

    Advice: DeBrusk helped out on a Jakub Lauko tally before adding a goal of his own in the third period. DeBrusk's contributions helped give the Bruins and their fans life by cutting the lead to two, but it wasn't enough to overcome the four-goal deficit against Florida. The 27-year-old also added one shot on net, one block and six hits in 17:50 of ice time. DeBrusk is up to four goals and two assists in nine games so far this postseason.

  • Expected to play Friday
    Draisaitl (undisclosed) is warming up and is expected to suit up against the Canucks for Game 2 on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Advice: Draisaitl missed a morning skate after dealing with cramping issues during Wednesday's Game 1 loss. Fortunately for Edmonton, he shouldn't miss any additional time. The star forward has five goals and 12 points through six games this postseason. Draisaitl tallied two assists in Game 1 against Vancouver. Rotowire.com Today, 6:39 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 2
    Draisaitl (undisclosed) is day-to-day and questionable for Game 2 against Vancouver on Friday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports Thursday.

    Advice: Draisaitl dealt with a cramping issue during the second period of Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks, though he was able to return in the third frame. However, the 28-year-old forward then missed Thursday's morning skate, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV. Draisaitl's value to the Oilers can't be overstated. He has five goals and 12 points through six playoff outings. If he's unable to play and Adam Henrique (lower body) returns after missing Game 1, then perhaps Henrique will serve as Edmonton's second-line center. However, if neither forward is available, then Ryan McLeod might be moved into that top-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:25 pm
     
  • Gets two helpers in victory
    Soucy collected two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over Edmonton in Game 1.

    Advice: The Canucks were down 4-1 after Zach Hyman scored at 13:11 of the second period, but Soucy helped out on the next two markers to get the comeback started. Although the 29-year-old Soucy was noteworthy offensively against the Oilers, that's a rare occurrence for him. He had just six points (two goals) in 40 regular-season contests in 2023-24, and his last multi-point effort came Nov. 2 when Vancouver earned a 10-1 victory over San Jose. He has three assists in seven playoff outings this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:17 pm
