    • Returns Thursday
      Kiviranta (lower body) is expected to play in Thursday's Game 2 against Dallas, per Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now.

      Advice: Kiviranta missed the previous three contests because of the injury. He has an assist in three playoff outings this year and finished the regular season with three goals and nine points in 56 appearances. Kiviranta is set to play on the third line alongside Miles Wood and Ross Colton in Game 2. Chris Wagner will be a healthy scratch due to Kiviranta's return. Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 pm
       
    • Remains out
      Hakanpaa (lower body) is not in the lineup for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Avalanche, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Thursday's absence will be Hakanpaa's 22nd in a row. The 32-year-old defenseman should be considered out indefinitely until he is cleared to return. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 pm
       
    • Draws Game 2 start
      Oettinger will guard the home goal versus the Avalanche in Thursday's Game 2, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Oettinger failed to protect a 3-0 lead in Tuesday's Game 1, but he'll get the chance to bounce back. The 25-year-old is 4-4 with a 2.15 GAA and a .915 save percentage through eight playoff outings. He has lost three of his four appearances against Colorado this season.

    • Set to return Thursday
      Chytil (head) has been activated off long-term injured reserve and is expected to play in Game 3 against Carolina on Thursday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

      Advice: Chytil had six assists in 10 regular-season contests, but he hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 2 because of the injury. He's projected to serve on the third line alongside Alexander Wennberg and Kaapo Kakko Thursday. Matt Rempe is set to be a healthy scratch for the first time in the 2023-24 postseason.

    • Starting Game 3
      Shesterkin will guard the road goal versus the Hurricanes in Thursday's Game 3, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Shesterkin is 6-0 with a 2.01 GAA and a .929 save percentage over six playoff contests. He earned a 28-save shutout win in his lone appearance in Carolina during the regular season, and he's gone 4-1-0 with 13 goals allowed over five total contests versus the Hurricanes in 2023-24.

    • Remains day-to-day
      Henrique (lower body) is questionable for Game 2 against Vancouver on Friday, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic on Thursday.

      Advice: Henrique was described as "day-to-day" by coach Kris Knoblauch. The 34-year-old missed Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver due to the injury. He has a goal and two points in five playoff outings this year. Leon Draisaitl's (undisclosed) status for Friday's contest is also in question, so if Henrique is available, but Draisaitl isn't, then Henrique might slide into the second-line center slot. Connor Brown will likely play if at least one of those two players is out, but he will probably be a healthy scratch if Henrique and Draisaitl are both able to play.

    • 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 Today, 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 Today, 12:17 pm
       
    • Grabs two helpers
      Draisaitl recorded a pair of assists in Wednesday's 5-4 Game 1 loss to Vancouver. According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Draisaitl was dealing with cramps in the second period before returning in the third.

      Advice: Draisaitl managed just 16:43 of ice time due to his cramping issue, his lowest total during a game this postseason. Still, the world-class center has registered at least a point in all six playoff contests, racking up a combined five goals and seven helpers, including eight power-play points.
