  • 136-76-18 1st Place
    • Wins again Monday
      Oettinger stopped 24 of 25 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Oettinger has won three starts in a row after dropping the first game in the second round. He limited the damage to a Casey Mittelstadt tally in the second period of Monday's tilt. Through 11 postseason contests, Oettinger is 7-4 with a 2.02 GAA and a .923 save percentage. The Stars lead the Avalanche 3-1 in the series and will have up to three chances to book their tickets to the Western Conference Finals. Game 5 is Wednesday in Dallas.

    • Set to start Game 4
      Oettinger will guard the road goal in Game 4 versus Colorado on Monday, per Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News.

      Advice: Oettinger has won his last two outings, including a 28-save performance in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Avalanche in Game 3. He has a 6-4 record with a 2.12 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 starts this postseason. If the Stars emerge victorious in Monday's contest, the team can take a commanding 3-1 series lead back to Dallas for Game 5 on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:51 am
       
    • Helps out on power play
      Kane notched a power-play assist and four hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Kane hadn't posted a power-play point since March 23. The winger, who missed time late in the regular season due to a sports hernia, has four points, 21 shots on net, 30 hits and 15 PIM over eight playoff contests. Kane has primarily played in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, so his scoring contributions are likely to remain limited to a supporting level.

    • One of each Sunday
      Ekholm scored a power-play goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: The Oilers' second power-play unit made a rare contribution, with Ekholm getting the opening goal. He also set up Evan Bouchard in the third period, but the Canucks controlled the scoring in between those tallies. All three of Ekholm's goals this postseason have come in the second round, and he's added two assists, 16 shots on net, 10 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through eight playoff outings overall. The 33-year-old should continue to see his even-strength minutes on the top pairing alongside Bouchard. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:33 pm
       
    • Adds helper in Game 3
      Benn recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: Benn helped out on Tyler Seguin's empty-net goal in the third period. Benn is already at four points through three games in the second round after earning three points in seven contests against Vegas during the opening round. The 34-year-old forward has added 16 shots on net, 31 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 10 playoff outings while filling a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:17 pm
       
    • Strong in Saturday's win
      Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: Two goals each from Logan Stankoven and Tyler Seguin ended up being plenty of support for Oettinger to earn his second win in a row. The 25-year-old goalie has allowed eight goals over three starts in the second round, but his starting job isn't in any danger. He's now 6-4 with a 2.12 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 10 playoff outings. Look for Oettinger to get the nod again in Monday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:02 pm
       
    • Pots goal in win
      Aho scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

      Advice: Aho snapped a five-game goal drought with his first-period tally, which gave the Hurricanes a 3-1 lead. The center has been much more involved in the second round with seven points over four contests. He's up to three goals, seven helpers, 26 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-4 rating through nine playoff outings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:26 pm
       
    • Back in goal for Game 3
      Oettinger will guard the road cage Saturday against Colorado in Game 3, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Oettinger has allowed seven goals on 57 shots in the first two games of the series, but he'll be back at it Saturday with Dallas looking to take the lead in the series. Oettinger is 5-4-0 in the postseason with a .914 save percentage and 2.24 GAA. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:50 am
       
    • Tallies in Game 2
      Ekholm scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 2.

      Advice: Ekholm was limited to one assist over five first-round games versus the Kings, but he's now scored a goal in each of the first two contests in the second round. The 33-year-old defenseman doesn't have to put up offense to be useful, but it doesn't hurt. He's contributed 12 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-4 rating in addition to three points through seven playoff outings. Ekholm should continue to see heavy defensive minutes in a top-pairing role. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:19 pm
