Player Notes

  • Yields five goals in loss
    Skinner allowed five goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Skinner is now 1-1 in the postseason, having allowed nine goals on 63 shots. He's given up at least four goals in three straight games, something he didn't do in the seven outings prior to his recent struggles. The Oilers will roll with Skinner in goal, though it could be up to the offense to cover up his mistakes in a first-round series that's not been kind to the goalies so far. The next game is Friday in Los Angeles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:13 pm
  • 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 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 this season, slightly worse than his numbers on the road. Game 3 is Friday.

  • Slips in Game 2
    Oettinger stopped 23 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 2. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: Both goals against Oettinger came with less than two minutes left in a period -- Jonathan Marchessault scored at 18:09 of the first and Noah Hanifin's game-winner was at 18:53 of the second. While it was an improvement from Game 1, it still wasn't good enough from Oettinger, who will now try to guide the Stars out of a 2-0 series deficit. Game 3 is Saturday in Vegas.

  • Steady in Game 2 win
    Thompson stopped 20 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 2.

    Advice: Thompson has opened the playoffs with a pair of wins. He gave up only a power-play goal to Jason Robertson in the first period, with the Golden Knights scoring the next three tallies for the win. Thompson has allowed seven goals during his four-game winning streak. At this point, the 27-year-old looks to have the starting role, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get the nod for Saturday's Game 3 back in Vegas. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:04 pm
  • In goal for Game 3
    DeSmith will start Game 3 on the road versus the Predators on Friday, Robby Stanley of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: DeSmith is now the Canucks' top goalie since Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week. DeSmith struggled in Game 2 on Tuesday, allowing three goals on 15 shots in a 4-1 loss. The 32-year-old will likely need a bit more goal support from his team, as well as a better performance from himself between the pipes, in order for the Canucks to have a chance to regain a series lead.
