  • Provides power-play assist
    Draisaitl logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: With just four points over six games in the Western Conference Finals, Draisaitl actually had a quiet round. It didn't ultimately matter, as Connor McDavid picked up the slack to help the Oilers make the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2006. Draisaitl is at 10 goals, 18 helpers, 57 shots on goal, 17 hits and 12 PIM through 18 playoff outings. The Panthers will likely have Aleksander Barkov hard-matched with McDavid in the Stanley Cup Finals, so there could be more room for Draisaitl to make an impact on his own line.

  • Pots power-play goal
    Hyman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Hyman finished the Western Conference Finlas with three goals and two assists over six games. He continues to be a force on the top line and first power-play unit with 14 goals, 18 points and 76 shots on net through 18 playoff contests. Five of Hyman's goals have come with the man advantage.

  • Two points in series-clinching win
    McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Both of McDavid's points came on the power play in the first period. He dazzled with his handiwork through the Stars' defense on the opening tally 4:17 into the game before setting up Zach Hyman later in the first. After somewhat taking a backseat to Leon Draisaitl in the first two rounds, McDavid exploded with three goals and seven helpers over six contests in the Western Conference Finals. He'll get his first taste of Stanley Cup Finals action when the puck drops in Florida for Game 1 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:29 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 Friday, 8:48 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 Friday, 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 Friday, 8:40 pm
     
  • Two power-play goals in win
    Nugent-Hopkins scored two power-play goals in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: The pair of goals were the first power-play tallies for either team in the Western Conference Finals. A lack of power-play production for the Oilers will typically hurt Nugent-Hopkins more than other players -- he's earned nine of his 20 points this postseason with the man advantage, including four of his six goals. The veteran forward has added 24 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 17 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:34 pm
     
  • Gets first point of playoffs
    Perry posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Perry fell out of favor for the Oilers late in the second round -- his appearance Wednesday ended a stretch of five straight healthy scratches for the veteran winger. He was also able to snap a 12-game point drought when he helped out on a Ryan McLeod tally in the first period. The 39-year-old Perry's best years are well behind him at this point, but he can still be an effective depth forward and pest. Given the Oilers' win in Game 4 to even the Western Conference Finals at two games apiece, it wouldn't be surprising to see Perry get a run in the lineup over the rest of the series.

  • Garners assist in Game 4
    Nugent-Hopkins posted an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars in Game 4.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins had been held off the scoresheet over the previous two contests, his first multi-game dry spell since April 12-13. The 31-year-old broke out of the short slump by helping out on Evan Bouchard's first-period equalizer. Nugent-Hopkins is up to four goals, 14 assists, 21 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating as a playmaker in a top-six role. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:26 pm
