  • Bends twine in Game 4
    Bennett scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers in Game 4.

    Advice: Since returning from injury, Bennett has notched three goals and two assists, including three power-play points, in his last eight contests.

  • Scores in return
    Henrique scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: Henrique missed seven games with an ankle injury and returned to a third-line role, playing 13:41 in this contest. He scored a goal late in the second period to tie the game at 3-3, but the Oilers' offense stopped there. Henrique has three points, five shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff appearances. He's played in a variety of spots in the Oilers' lineup -- if the team continues to struggle, he may be moved from third-line center to a top-six spot on the wing. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:17 pm
     
  • One of each Monday
    McDavid scored a goal on six shots, dished an assist and added three hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: McDavid was pulling the strings in the first period, banking a shot in off Zach Hyman for the opening goal before scoring one of his own. The Stars bounced back in the second, and McDavid had no further involvement in the scoring. The superstar center is up to four goals, 21 assists, 43 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-5 rating through 15 playoff outings. Two of his tallies have come in the Western Conference Finals.

    Stankoven logged an assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Stankoven set up a Wyatt Johnston tally at 9:08 of the second period, which put the Stars ahead 3-2. The helper ended Stankoven's three-game dry spell.

He's got a bright future, but for now Stankoven is filling a supporting role. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:04 pm
     
  • Finds twine in Game 3 win
    Johnston scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: The goal was Johnston's first in five games, and he was held off the scoresheet in three of his previous four outings. The center's tally gave the Stars a 3-2 lead in the second period. The 21-year-old is up to eight goals, six assists, 51 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 16 playoff appearances. Johnston's strong play all over the ice has carried over from the regular season as he cements his status as one of the Stars' top forwards. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:51 pm
     
  • Good to go Monday
    Henrique (ankle) will play Monday in Game 3 against Dallas, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

    Advice: Following a seven-game absence, Henrique will replace Ryan McLeod in the lineup for Monday's contest. The 34-year-old Henrique has generated one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. He will probably occupy a middle-six spot and see power-play time on the second unit in his return to action. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:45 am
     
  • Provides pair of helpers
    Trocheck recorded two assists, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Trocheck set up Alexis Lafreniere's first-period tally and a shorthanded goal by Barclay Goodrow in the second. This postseason has been a highlight reel for Trocheck, who has eight multi-point efforts in 13 contests. He's picked up seven goals, 11 assists, 37 shots on net, 47 hits, 13 blocks and a plus-2 rating while earning eight of his points on the power play. Look for the 30-year-old center to continue playing a significant role in the Rangers' top six and on the first power-play unit. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:42 pm
     
  • Close to return
    Henrique (ankle) is very close to being available to return to the lineup, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Oilers hope to have Henrique back in action against Dallas for Monday's Game 3 or Game 4 on Wednesday. Henrique participated in pregame warmups before missing his seventh straight contest in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 2. He has registered one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six appearances this postseason. The 34-year-old forward will probably occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play unit once he receives the green light to return. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:25 am
