    • Stumbles late in Game 1
      Skinner allowed five goals on 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

      Advice: Skinner held Vancouver to one goal through most of the first two periods before Elias Lindholm cut the lead to 4-2 late in the second. Skinner then allowed three more tallies in the third in the eventual one-goal defeat. The 25-year-old Skinner has been shaky at times this postseason -- he's posted an .893 save percentage through his first six playoff games. Nonetheless, Skinner will likely remain between the pipes for the Oilers in Game 2 on Friday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:09 am
       
    • Set to start Wednesday
      Skinner is expected to guard the road goal in Game 1 against Vancouver on Wednesday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

      Advice: Skinner earned a respectable 2.59 GAA and .910 save percentage in five first-round contests versus LA. However, he might have a difficult time against the Canucks after posting a record of 0-3-0 with a 4.60 GAA and an .830 save percentage across four regular-season appearances versus Vancouver. It wouldn't be surprising to see Skinner challenged regularly by the Canucks, but the Oilers have averaged 4.40 goals per game in the postseason, so they're capable of putting themselves in a position to win even when their goaltending isn't the best.

    • Registers helper
      Frederic recorded an assist, six hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1.

      Advice: Frederic helped out on Brandon Carlo's goal late in the second period. The 26-year-old Frederic is up to four points through eight playoff contests, solid work for a player in a third-line role with virtually no power-play time. He's added 34 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-7 rating. Frederic can offer solid play as a checking forward, but consistent offense is likely too much to ask of him. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:17 pm
       
    • Pots goal in Game 1 loss
      Jarvis scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

      Advice: Jarvis' tally came with 1:45 left in the third period, but the Hurricanes were unable to find an equalizer. The winger has been strong so far in the playoffs with four goals, four assists, 14 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-4 rating over six appearances. While he's listed on the Hurricanes' third line, his usage has been more in line with a top-six forward, especially with a significant power-play role. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:02 pm
       
    • Comes up short in Game 6
      Saros stopped 28 of 29 shots in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Canucks in Game 6.

      Advice: Saros was excellent, going save for save with Arturs Silovs for nearly the whole game. Pius Suter had the breakthrough for the Canucks with 1:39 left in the third period, and that goal was the one to end the Predators' season. Despite a 2-4 record in the playoffs, Saros allowed just 12 goals on 120 shots over six contests, with Friday marking the first time he'd faced more than 21 shots in a game all series. The Finnish goalie is under contract for one more season at a $5 million cap hit, so it's possible his name could swirl in trade rumors if the Predators opt to shake things up.

    • Tending twine Friday
      Saros will face the Canucks at home for Game 6 on Friday.

      Advice: Saros turned away 19 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 Game 5 win to force Game 6. Through five games this series, he's allowed only 11 goals but it's come with a lackluster .879 save percentage. To avoid elimination, Saros will need to earn consecutive wins for the first time since April 4 and 7. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:36 pm
       
    • Not at practice Friday
      Drouin (lower body) is still absent from practice Friday, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.

      Advice: Drouin missed all five games of the opening round versus Winnipeg and has yet to make an appearance at practice during the postseason. The 29-year-old had his best offensive season as an NHLer in 2023-24, picking up 56 points in 73 games, including 19 points on the power play. Drouin saw plenty of time on the top line alongside Nathan MacKinnon during the regular season. Look for Valeri Nichushkin, who had seven goals in five games during the first round, to remain on the top line until Drouin is ready to return. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:40 am
       
    • Nets seventh goal of the playoffs
      Hyman scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 win over the Kings.

      Advice: Hyman put the Oilers ahead 4-2 in the final minute of the second period, deflecting a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins shot past David Rittich for the eventual game-winning goal in the 4-3 series-clinching victory. Hyman's seven goals are tied with Valeri Nichushkin for the league lead so far in the playoffs. Hyman's picked up where he left off in the regular season, during which he tallied a career-high 54 goals and 77 points in 80 games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:09 am
       
    • Two goals to clinch series
      Draisaitl scored a pair of goals on a team-high six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 victory over the Kings.

      Advice: Draisaitl tied the game 2-2 midway through the second period with a power-play goal before putting Edmonton ahead just a few minutes later with a second tally, beating David Rittich with a one-timer off a Connor McDavid feed. It was an excellent start to the post-season for Draisaitl -- the 28-year-old center tallied five goals and 10 points in the Oilers' decisive five-game series victory. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:21 am
