  • Two more assists in win
    Bouchard logged two power-play assists and blocked four shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Bouchard was held partly in check early in the series, but he racked up four helpers over the last two games as the Oilers' power play returned to its usual level of dominance. The defenseman is up to six goals, 21 helpers, 12 power-play points, 54 shots on net, 33 blocks and a plus-14 rating through 18 playoff outings. The Panthers' high pace and heavy play will be the next hurdle for Bouchard to face amid his breakout postseason as an all-around top-tier defenseman. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 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.

  • Big impact in Game 4 win
    Nurse logged an assist, 12 hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Nurse has been the target of some ire for his poor play in the playoffs, and he got off to an ugly start in this game. He was on the ice for both of the Stars' first-period tallies, including one that banked into the net off his body. Nurse was able to rebound, picking up a helper on a Ryan McLeod goal, and he followed up with a huge physical performance for the rest of the game. Nurse has just three assists with an ugly minus-12 rating through 16 playoff contests, but he's added 35 hits, 37 blocked shots and 31 shots on net while playing in a top-four role. That non-scoring production still gives him a path to relevance in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 pm
     
  • Fills empty cage
    Ekholm scored an empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Ekholm has had some strong moments in the playoffs, but he entered Wednesday on a six-game point drought. It nearly got to seven contests, but he was able to fire home an empty-netter to seal the Oilers' win, which tied the Western Conference Finals at 2-2. Ekholm is up to four goals, three assists, 28 shots on net, 17 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 16 playoff outings as the Oilers' top shutdown defenseman.

  • Deposits goal in Game 4 win
    Bouchard scored a goal on two shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Bouchard put away a rebound of a Connor McDavid shot at 16:17 of the first period, which erased the early 2-0 deficit the Oilers faced. While he doesn't have a multi-point effort in the Western Conference Finals, Bouchard has still managed a goal and two assists over his last four games. The star defenseman is at six tallies, 17 helpers, 51 shots on net, 26 blocks, 15 hits and a plus-15 rating through 16 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:44 pm
     
  • Offers helper in loss
    Bouchard notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: Bouchard helped out Zach Hyman's opening goal early in the first period. The Stars have at least somewhat neutralized Bouchard in the Western Conference Finals, limiting him to two assists in three contests. He has 22 points (eight on the power play), 49 shots on net, 24 blocks, 13 hits and a plus-12 rating over 15 playoff appearances after playing above a point-per-game pace in the first two rounds.

  • Sets up game-winner
    Bouchard notched an assist, four shots on goal, a plus-3 rating, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: Bouchard's attempt was deflected in by Connor McDavid at the 32-second mark of the second overtime. The playoffs have elevated Bouchard's breakout year to the league stage -- he's picked up five goals and 16 helpers over 13 appearances while adding a plus-13 rating and 22 blocks. The 24-year-old defenseman will continue to get his looks in a top-pairing role and on the first power-play unit, where he's earned eight of his 21 points this postseason.
