    • Scores first playoff goal
      Broberg scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: Broberg's first career playoff goal stretched the Oilers' lead to 3-0 in the second period. The defenseman has played in each of the last two games, replacing Vincent Desharnais in a third-pairing role. With limited minutes, Broberg is unlikely to be a steady source of offense, and he also lacks the physicality that kept Desharnais in the lineup for so long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 pm
       
    • Two power-play goals in win
      Nugent-Hopkins scored two power-play goals in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: The pair of goals were the first power-play tallies for either team in the Western Conference Finals. A lack of power-play production for the Oilers will typically hurt Nugent-Hopkins more than other players -- he's earned nine of his 20 points this postseason with the man advantage, including four of his six goals. The veteran forward has added 24 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 17 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:34 pm
       
    • Wins again in Game 5
      Skinner stopped 19 of 20 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

      Advice: The Oilers' defense again stood tall, making Skinner's job easier with another light workload. The lone goal against him was tipped in by Wyatt Johnston. Skinner has won five of his last seven games, and he's given up two goals or fewer in six of those contests. He'll likely be between the pipes in Game 6 on Sunday with a chance to send the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Finals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:31 pm
       
    • Good to go Friday
      Tanev (lower body) is suiting up Friday fo Game 5 against the Oilers, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured after blocking a shot in Game 4 but won't miss any additional time. He's tallied just one assist in 17 appearances this postseason but Dallas will be thankful for his defensive abilities remaining in the lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 pm
       
    • Tending twine Friday
      Oettinger will get the starting nod for Game 5 at home against Edmonton on Friday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: After winning two straight games to put the Stars up 2-1 over the Oilers, Oettinger turned in his worst start of the series and one of his worst performances of the postseason. He coughed up four goals on 28 shots, lowering his postseason save percentage to .917 through 17 games. Oettinger hasn't lost two straight games since the first round against Vegas.

    • Heading to SHL
      Larsson signed a two-year deal with Malmo of the Swiss Hockey League on Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports Friday.

      Advice: Larsson had seven goals, 33 points and 46 PIM in 61 regular-season contests with AHL Belleville in 2023-24. The 27-year-old has recorded three goals, 24 points and 52 PIM in 172 career NHL games, but he didn't play at the top level in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:30 pm
       
    • Between pipes in Game 5
      Skinner will defend the road crease in Dallas for Game 5 on Friday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

      Advice: Skinner gave up a pair of early goals in Game 4 and then shut the door, stopping 20 shots as the Oilers evened the series at 2-2 with a 5-2 win Wednesday. Skinner has a 2.34 GAA and a .900 save percentage in four games against Dallas in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:57 am
       
    • Game-time decision Friday
      Tanev (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5 versus Edmonton on Friday, though coach Peter DeBoer is optimistic that Tanev (lower body) will play, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

      Advice: Tanev was injured blocking a shot Wednesday in the second period and was unable to return. Tanev is a stud defensively and if he is unable to go, the Stars will need to fill a big hole on the blue line. Lian Bichsel is poised to make his NHL debut if Tanev is unable to go.

    • Snags helper in win
      Ekblad recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Ekblad was able to bring his six-game pointless streak to a close with his helper Thursday but remains mired in a 29-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 20 versus the Senators. While the blueliner should continue to register plenty of hits and blocks in the postseason, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him suddenly producing points regularly.
