  • Helps out on power play
    Draisaitl logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Draisaitl has yet to be held off the scoresheet through two rounds of the playoffs. He kept the streak alive with a secondary helper on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' second-period tally, which was the game-winner. Draisaitl is up to eight goals, 16 assists, 12 power-play points, 45 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 12 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:15 pm
     
  • Supplies two more assists
    Bouchard logged two assists, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Bouchard has earned multiple points in four of the last five games. The defenseman is up to five goals, 15 assists, 40 shots, 20 blocks and a plus-10 rating through 12 playoff contests. The 24-year-old will continue to see top-pairing minutes, though he may end up playing in his own zone more against a Stars team that lacks some of the flaws that plagued the Canucks in the postseason.

  • 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.

  • One of each in win
    Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and blocked three shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins stepped up late in the second round with five points over the last two games to help the Oilers advance. The 31-year-old is up to four goals, 12 assists, 17 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 playoff outings. He should begin the Western Conference Finals on the first line alongside Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:06 pm
     
  • Nabs Game 7 win
    Skinner stopped 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Skinner earned back-to-back wins after a two-game benching, but he's still not showing that much to inspire confidence. In those wins, he stopped 29 of 32 shots, a product of the Canucks' lackluster offense more than Skinner's own quality of play. Nonetheless, he's likely done enough to regain the starting job heading into the Western Conference Finals, which begin in Dallas on Thursday. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:04 pm
     
  • Gets starting nod for Game 7
    Skinner will be between the road pipes for Monday's Game 7 clash with the Canucks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Skinner returned from a two-game benching to stop 14 of 15 shots in a Game 6 win. In each of his last three appearances, the netminder has faced less than 20 shots, though that's not surprising since the Canucks have averaged a league-worst 21.1 shots per game in the postseason. If he can secure the win Monday, Skinner should be the presumptive starter moving forward. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:58 am
     
  • Keeps rolling with two helpers
    Draisaitl produced two assists, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: Draisaitl set up the Oilers' first and last goals, scored by Dylan Holloway and Evander Kane, respectively. The pair of helpers extended Draisaitl's playoff point streak to 11 contests, during which he has eight goals and 15 assists. He's added 42 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating this postseason. Draisaitl also became the third-fastest player in NHL history to 100 playoff points, doing so in just 60 appearances. Only Wayne Gretzky (46 games) and Mario Lemieux (50 games) did it faster.

  • Trio of helpers in win
    McDavid notched three assists, two shots on goal, two PIM, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

    Advice: McDavid responded to his second scoreless outing of the playoffs with a showcase of playmaking. He set up goals by Zach Hyman, Evan Bouchard and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as the Oilers took control Saturday and forced a Game 7 on Monday. McDavid is up to 21 points (two goals, 19 assists) with 31 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-5 rating over 11 playoff appearances. He hasn't gone multiple games in a row without a point since a three-game slump from Nov. 6-11. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:32 pm
     
  • 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
