  • Plucks apple Friday
    Stankoven logged an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Stankoven has just two helpers over five contests in the Western Conference Finals after picking up four points in the second round. The 21-year-old forward is at eight points, 33 shots on net, 21 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 18 playoff outings. He'll likely continue to see middle-six minutes as the Stars look to keep their season alive in Game 6 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:00 pm
     
  • Helpers in consecutive games
    Harley notched an assist and blocked six shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: The six blocks were one off Harley's playoff high. More notably, he got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row, assisting on a Wyatt Johnston tally in the third period to break up Stuart Skinner's shutout bid. Harley has been limited to four helpers over 18 playoff outings, but he's added 50 blocks, 27 shots on net and a plus-8 rating in a top-four role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Tips in lone goal in loss
    Johnston scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Johnston has scored in three straight games, but the Stars have just three tallies over their last two contests. The 21-year-old is up to 10 goals, six assists, 55 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-4 rating through 18 playoff appearances. Johnston's steady offense has made him a reliable option in fantasy in this breakout campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:56 pm
     
  • Yields three goals
    Oettinger stopped 23 of 26 shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

    Advice: Oettinger has taken back-to-back losses for the first time since the first two games of the playoffs, and now the Stars will face 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 the starter is not in doubt, so he should be back between the pipes for Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:55 pm
     
  • Garners assist
    Henrique recorded an assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: Henrique has a goal and an assist over three games since he returned from an ankle injury. The 34-year-old forward is up to four points, seven shots on net, 30 hits and an even plus-minus rating through nine playoff appearances. The Oilers have found success with him on the third line, so it's unlikely his role will change heading into Game 6 on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:48 pm
     
  • Grabs helper in win
    Kane logged an assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: Kane snapped a five-game point drought when he assisted on a Philip Broberg tally in the second period. The 32-year-old Kane has generally been more consistent in the postseason, though he has just eight points over 17 contests. He's added 61 hits, 35 PIM, 44 shots on net and a minus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:45 pm
     
  • Supplies power-play helper
    Draisaitl notched a power-play assist in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: Draisaitl set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second goal of the game, which stood as the game-winner. It's been a bit of a quiet round for Draisaitl, at least by his lofty standards, as he's posted three points over five contests against the Stars. For the playoffs, he's at 10 goals, 17 helpers, 57 shots on net, 17 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 17 outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:43 pm
     
  • Contributes power-play assist
    McDavid logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: McDavid helped out on the first of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' tallies in the contest. The 27-year-old McDavid is up to two goals and six assists over five games in the Western Conference Finals as he continues to lead by example on offense. He's picked up four goals, 25 helpers, 12 power-play points, 53 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-7 rating through 17 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 pm
     
  • Earns two power-play helpers
    Bouchard registered two power-play assists, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: This was Bouchard's first multi-point game in the Western Conference Finals, and it's likely no coincidence that it happened alongside the Oilers' power play coming back to life. The defenseman is up to 25 points (10 on the power play) through 17 playoff contests. He's added 53 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating while seeing a large role on the top pairing.
