    • Loses Game 1 in double-overtime
      Oettinger stopped 35 of 38 shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Oettinger was strong in the contest, but the Oilers attacked quickly and scored on a Connor McDavid goal 32 seconds into the second overtime. This was just the fifth time in 14 playoff outings Oettinger has allowed three or more goals. The Stars have dropped Game 1 of their last seven playoff series, so this is not a reason for concern just yet, but they'll need Oettinger at his best in Saturday's Game 2 to even it up.

    • One of each Thursday
      Hyman scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, went plus-2 and added three hits in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

      Advice: Hyman assisted on a Leon Draisaitl goal early in the second period and then scored one of his own later in the frame. The 31-year-old Hyman has scored in three straight games since going three contests without a point. The winger is up to 12 goals, three helpers, 54 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-8 rating through 13 playoff outings. The Oilers' top players will be critical to their success in the Western Conference Finals against a balanced Stars roster, and Hyman is off to a strong start. Rotowire.com Today, 10:02 pm
       
    • Tending twine Thursday
      Oettinger will guard the home crease Thursday in Game 1 against the Oilers, according to Nick Cotsonika of NHL.com.

      Advice: Oettinger was outstanding Friday while helping clinch the Stars' second-round series, as he turned aside 29 shots in a 2-1 double-overtime win over Colorado. Oettinger is 8-5 with a 2.09 GAA and a .918 save percentage over the first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs. He went 1-0-1 in two appearances during the regular season versus Edmonton, giving up four goals on 55 shots. Rotowire.com Today, 8:50 am
       
    • Tallies in Game 7 win
      Hyman scored a goal on five shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

      Advice: Hyman went cold in the middle of the second round, but he had a goal in each of the last two games to bounce back at a good time. The 31-year-old winger leads the playoffs with 11 tallies, and he's added 50 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating over 12 appearances while consistently playing in a top-line role.

    • Scores 10th goal of postseason
      Hyman scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

      Advice: Hyman snapped a three-game slump with his second-period tally, which ended up being the game-winner. It was perhaps a short-term regression for the winger, who scored nine times over the first six contests this postseason before the skid. He's at 10 goals, two assists, 45 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-5 rating through 11 appearances in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:23 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 7
      Head coach Rick Tocchet said Saturday that Demko (knee) will not play in Monday's Game 7 versus the Oilers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Demko was believed to have a chance to return during the second round, but this will eliminate that possibility. The Canucks will instead entrust either Arturs Silovs or Casey DeSmith in a must-win game with a trip to the Western Conference Finals on the line. Demko will have missed 12 straight contests after Monday, and there's been no indication at what point he might be available if the Canucks are able to extend their playoff run.

    • Seals series in double overtime
      Oettinger stopped 29 of 30 shots in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime win over the Avalanche in Game 6.

      Advice: Oettinger was tagged for five goals on 27 shots in Game 5, but he bounced back in a big way to secure the series win Friday. This was the fifth time in 13 contests that he's limited an opponent to a single goal. Oettinger also hasn't lost consecutive games since his first two outings in the first round. He's locked in as the Stars' starter as they await the winner of the Canucks-Oilers series to join them in the Western Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:24 pm
       
    • Set to start Friday
      Oettinger is slated to guard the road goal against Colorado in Game 6 on Friday.

      Advice: Oettinger will look to rebound after allowing five goals on 27 shots en route to a 5-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5 on Wednesday. He's 7-5 with a 2.27 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 12 playoff appearances this year. The Avalanche are fantastic offensively, having ranked first in the regular season with 3.68 goals per contest, so they're likely to test Oettinger frequently in the upcoming clash.

    • Two points in loss
      Aho scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

      Advice: Aho had the primary assist on Seth Jarvis' power-play marker early in the second period. Aho also had an even-strength tally in the middle frame, which was the final goal Carolina scored in the contest. In addition to recording two points, the Finnish center had two shots on net, one block and a minus-2 rating in 18:48 of ice time. After a career high in the regular season with 89 points, the 26-year-old forward finished the postseason with four goals, eight assists and a plus-1 rating in 11 outings.
