    • Surprise return Saturday
      Sergachev (leg) was activated off long-term injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which sets him up to return for Game 4 against Florida on Saturday.

      Advice: Sergachev was previously ruled out for at least the first round, so his speedy return is a huge surprise. With Tampa Bay facing a 3-0 deficit in the series, his teammates need all the help they can get to stave off elimination. If the defenseman hadn't come back now, then it might have been too late. He had two goals, 19 points, 36 hits and 70 blocks in 34 regular-season appearances. While Sergachev typically serves in a top-four capacity, his minutes might be limited in his first contest since Feb. 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:40 pm
       
    • Torched for six more goals
      Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Talbot has given up a total of 16 tallies over three games in the first round, so he's lucky the Kings are only down 2-1 in the series. The 36-year-old's play has been lackluster, but he's not getting a ton of help from his defense. Game 4 is Sunday, but it's unclear if the Kings will stick with Talbot much longer if he continues to struggle, which could open the door for David Rittich to get a look.

    • Strikes twice Friday
      Hyman scored two goals on four shots and added five hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

      Advice: Hyman opened the scoring at 6:42 of the first period and added a power-play marker in the third. The winger has six goals, one assist, 15 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over three playoff contests. Hyman continues to be a perfect fit on the top line and first power-play unit as he racks up big scoring numbers for the Oilers. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:25 pm
       
    • Pockets helper in loss
      DeMelo notched an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: The point was DeMelo's first in three playoff outings this year. The defenseman has added three shots on net, 15 hits and two blocked shots while playing in his usual top-four role. He had a career-high 31 points in 82 regular-season outings, but offense is usually a secondary component of his game. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:12 pm
       
    • Tallies in Game 3 loss
      Toffoli scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: Toffoli snapped a three-game pointless slump with his second-period marker. He's struggled to generate offense in the playoffs, and the Jets' lack of depth scoring has become a problem as they trail the Avalanche 2-1 in the series following Friday's loss. Toffoli has managed five shots on net, seven hits and a minus-2 rating through three playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:57 pm
       
    • Logs power-play helper
      Makar notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Jets in Game 3.

      Advice: Makar has a goal, five assists, 11 shots on net and eight blocked shots through three playoff contests. He's on a five-game point streak as well, with nine points in that span, including four on the power play. Makar's roles on the top pairing and first power-play unit see him logging a ton of ice time, so there's no reason to think his offense will drop off much during the postseason.

    • Set to start Friday
      Talbot is expected to start at home against Edmonton in Game 3 on Friday, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.

      Advice: Talbot has struggled against the Oilers, allowing 10 goals on 75 shots (.867 save percentage) over two playoff contests. Edmonton ranked fourth offensively with 3.56 goals per game in the regular season, so the Oilers are likely to continue to give the veteran goaltender trouble, especially because Talbot's been floundering for a while now. He has a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage over his past 17 outings dating back to March 7. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:40 am
       
    • Scores on power play in loss
      Hyman scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

      Advice: Hyman has racked up four goals, one assist, eight hits and 11 shots on net through two playoff contests. His tally in the second period Wednesday tied the game at 3-3. After a 54-goal regular season, it's clear Hyman is dialed in as the finisher on the Oilers' top line while also serving as a strong net-front presence on the power play.

    • Prevails in Game 2
      Talbot stopped 27 of 31 shots in a 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Wednesday's Game 2.

      Advice: Talbot had another rough game, but the Kings were able to play a little bit better and snag the win with Anze Kopitar's tally 2:07 into the extra session. With 10 goals allowed over two playoff contests, Talbot has had his hands full with a dangerous Oilers offense so far. The series is tied at 1-1 heading to Los Angeles, where Talbot went 13-10-3 with a 2.56 GAA and a .910 save percentage during the regular season, slightly worse than his numbers on the road. Game 3 is Friday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:46 pm
