      Oettinger stopped 23 of 26 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

      Advice: Oettinger took back-to-back losses for the first time since the first two games of the playoffs, and now the Stars are facing elimination in Edmonton on Sunday. The Oilers' power play did most of the damage Friday, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scoring twice in the contest after the Stars had killed off all their penalties in the first four games of the series. Oettinger's role as starter is not in doubt, so he should be back between the pipes for Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:55 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.

    • Falters in Game 4
      Oettinger allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers in Wednesday's Game 4. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

      Advice: Oettinger was spotted a 2-0 lead early in the first period, but he couldn't hold back the surge the Oilers generated after that. They got to him twice in both the first and second periods. Oettinger is down to 10-7 with a 2.20 GAA and a .919 save percentage this postseason after allowing three or more goals for the fourth time in the last six contests Wednesday. Despite the recent inconsistent play, the 25-year-old is just about a guarantee to start in Friday's pivotal Game 5 back in Dallas. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Offers helper in win
      Hyman produced an assist, five shots on goal, five hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

      Advice: Hyman set up Leon Draisaitl's tally in the second period just after the Oilers killed off a penalty. It's often been goals over assists for Hyman this postseason -- he's scored 13 times and added four helpers through 16 contests. The star winger has added 68 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-9 rating while remaining firmly in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:23 pm
       
    • Set to start Game 4
      Oettinger is expected to tend the twine on the road in Game 4 against the Oilers on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

      Advice: Oettinger has been struggling with consistency of late, allowing just one goal in three of his last six outings while also giving up three or more tallies in the other trio of appearances. Still, the backstop is sporting a 2.05 GAA and .922 save percentage over that stretch while going 4-2. Based on his recent trend, Oettinger could be due for a strong performance in Game 4.

    • Knocks in goal
      Hyman scored a goal on seven shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

      Advice: Connor McDavid took a shot that banked in off Hyman's body at 2:02 of the first period. With four goals and an assist over his last five games, Hyman's offense is humming along at a fine pace. He's up to 13 tallies, 16 points, 63 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-7 rating through 15 playoff contests while filling a top-line role. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:14 pm
       
    • Settles in after rocky start
      Oettinger stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

      Advice: Oettinger gave up two goals in the first period, but he was able to stabilize to end the first period. The Stars' offense showed up in the second and third while Oettinger remained steady to earn his second win in a row. The 25-year-old could be reasonably expected to have a tougher time on the road, where the Oilers will be able to dictate the line matchups to a greater extent. Oettinger has allowed seven goals over three games in the Western Conference Finals and should continue to handle all of the goaltending duties for the Stars. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:47 pm
       
    • Set to start Game 3
      Oettinger will defend the road net in Game 3 versus Edmonton on Monday, according to Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com.

      Advice: Oettinger is coming off a 28-save performance in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. He has a 9-6 record with a 2.04 GAA and a .922 save percentage across 15 starts this postseason. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:08 pm
       
    • Strong in Game 2 win
      Oettinger stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

      Advice: The Oilers dominated the first period but came away with just one goal from Connor Brown. Oettinger was dialed in the rest of the way, and the Stars were able to build and maintain a lead in the third. Oettinger still hasn't lost back-to-back games since the first two contests of the postseason. He's 9-6 with a 2.04 GAA and a .922 save percentage over 15 playoff contests and is a virtual lock to get the nod in Monday's Game 3 in Edmonton. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:46 pm
