  • 121-83-26 3rd Place
    • Bags power-play assist
      Nurse notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Nurse snapped a four-game dry spell with his helper on a Mattias Ekholm tally in the first period. The 29-year-old Nurse has been limited to two assists over eight playoff outings, and he's added 17 shots on net, 13 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He's played on the second pairing, with Ekholm leapfrogging Nurse for a spot alongside Evan Bouchard on the top pairing. Nurse can still add some physicality, but his offense is likely to be limited with less ice time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:39 pm
       
    • 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
       
    • Pockets assist in loss
      Toews posted an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

      Advice: Toews helped out on a Mikko Rantanen tally in the second period. The helper was Toews' first point over three appearances in the second round. The defenseman is up to six points, 15 shots on net, 14 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through eight playoff contests. He continues to play on the top pairing, which gives him plenty of ice time with the Avalanche's top players. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:48 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
       
    • 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.

    • Picks up assist Thursday
      Aho recorded an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday.

      Advice: He helped on Andrei Svechnikov's game-tying marker late in the third period, but Aho's efforts ultimately failed to prevent Carolina from falling behind 3-0 in the second-round series. Although the Hurricanes have come up short against the Rangers, Aho has excelled with six assists through three contests in the series. That gives him two goals and nine points across eight playoff outings this year after setting a career high of 89 points (36 goals) in 78 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:22 am
       
    • No timetable for return
      Drouin is making progress in his recovery from a lower-body injury, but there's still no timetable for his return, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports Thursday.

      Advice: Drouin recorded 19 goals and 56 points in 79 regular-season outings in 2023-24. However, he hasn't been available in the playoffs due to the injury. If Drouin is able to return during the postseason, he will probably serve in a top-six capacity. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:03 am
