    • Drawing close to return
      Henrique (ankle) will miss Thursday's Game 5 against Vancouver, but he is close to returning, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

      Advice: Henrique also wasn't in the lineup for Edmonton's previous two contests. He has a goal and an assist in six playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with 24 markers and 51 points across 82 appearances. His next opportunity to play will be in Game 6 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:26 pm
       
    • Won't play Tuesday
      Henrique (ankle) won't play Tuesday in Game 4 against the Canucks, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

      Advice: Henrique will miss his second straight contest. He has picked up one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six outings this postseason. The 34-year-old forward had 24 goals and 51 points in 82 appearances between the Oilers and Ducks during the 2023-24 regular season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:23 am
       
    • Pulled from Sunday's loss
      Skinner allowed four goals on 15 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Skinner played the first two periods and saw a little more ice time late in the third after some gamesmanship from head coach Kris Knoblauch. Skinner's play remains a serious concern -- the Canucks have fired 58 shots at him over three contests, but he's let in 12 goals while losing two of those games. The Oilers were able to cover the 25-year-old in the first round, but they've had less success in that regard against the Canucks. Per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, Knoblauch wouldn't commit to sticking with Skinner for Game 4 on Tuesday. Calvin Pickard made three saves in Sunday's contest, but veteran Jack Campbell could also be an option should the Oilers get desperate in the next week. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:22 pm
       
    • Guarding cage Sunday
      Skinner will get the starting nod at home against Vancouver on Sunday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Skinner helped tie the series at 1-1 by stopping 16 shots in Friday's Game 2 victory. He's struggled so far against the Canucks, yielding eight goals on 43 shots in two contests. Skinner has won five of his seven postseason starts despite registering a lackluster .888 save percentage in the process. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:07 pm
       
    • Ruled out Sunday
      Henrique (undisclosed) won't play Sunday in Game 3 against Vancouver, Tony Brar of OilersTV reports.

      Advice: Henrique saw 11:38 of ice time in Game 2 on Friday after missing Game 1 with a lower-body injury -- likely the same injury that will sideline the veteran forward Sunday. Henrique has a goal and an assist in six postseason games, both coming in the opening contest of Edmonton's first-round matchup with the Kings. Connor Brown will reenter the lineup in Henrique's absence. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:18 am
       
    • Wins Game 2 in overtime
      Skinner stopped 16 of 19 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.

      Advice: Skinner had another poor outing, but the Oilers' dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl made up for it with four points each. Over the last three games, Skinner has allowed 11 goals on 64 shots, but he's managed to win two of those contests. The Oilers managed to break the Canucks' home-ice advantage -- the series is tied at 1-1 heading back to Edmonton for Game 3 on Sunday and Game 4 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:08 pm
       
    • Tending twine Friday
      Skinner will get the starting nod for Game 2 in Vancouver on Friday, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

      Advice: Skinner has been shaky this postseason and was rocked for five goals on just 24 shots in a loss to the Canucks in Game 1 on Wednesday. Through six playoff games, he's registered an .893 save percentage and a 3.01 GAA. On the bright side, Skinner hasn't taken consecutive losses since Feb. 21 and 24.

    • Back in action
      Henrique (lower body) is in Friday's lineup for Game 2 against Vancouver, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

      Advice: Henrique will return to the lineup after missing Game 1 against the Canucks with a lower-body issue. He tallied two points in Game 1 against the Kings last round but hasn't scored a point in four games since. Henrique is expected to skate in a top-six role Friday.

    • Sets up shortie
      Harley logged a shorthanded assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

      Advice: Harley took a shot, and Tyler Seguin was able to knock in the rebound for the Stars' fourth goal. Both of Harley's helpers this postseason have come within the last three games. The 22-year-old blueliner is up to 18 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating while holding down a top-four role through nine playoff contests. Dallas has leaned heavily on its top defensemen, so Harley should continue to see massive minutes even if he's not a significant factor on offense. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:16 pm
