  • 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 Yesterday, 10:02 pm
     
  • Two points in Game 1 win
    McDavid scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, logged four PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1.

    Advice: McDavid was held off the scoresheet three times in the second round but still put up a goal and eight assists in seven games. He's already off to a strong start in the Western Conference Finals after finishing Game 1 with a goal 32 seconds into the second overtime. The superstar has three goals, 20 helpers, 36 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-7 rating over 13 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:59 pm
     
  • Steady in Game 1 win
    Skinner stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Stars in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Advice: Skinner didn't face more than 24 shots in any of his five appearances in the second round versus the Canucks, but the Stars predictably were more active. The 25-year-old was up to the challenge, earning his third straight win. He's allowed just five goals in that span. Skinner's back in the No. 1 job for the Oilers, so he should be expected to start Game 2 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:55 pm
     
  • Picks up assist in Game 1
    Forsling registered an assist in Florida's 3-0 victory over the Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Forsling fed the puck to Matthew Tkachuk, who fired it past Igor Shesterkin to put the Panthers up 1-0 late in the first period. That stood as the game-winner, which makes this the second straight contest Forsling was involved in the deciding marker -- the 27-year-old defenseman netted the series-clinching tally in Florida's 2-1 victory over Boston in Game 6 on Friday. Forsling has two goals, eight points, a plus-10 rating, eight PIM, 22 hits and 18 blocks in 12 postseason appearances this year. He's also found particular success against the Rangers in 2023-24, supplying four helpers across three outings between the regular season and playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:48 pm
     
  • Held off scoresheet in loss
    Fox was held without a point in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Florida in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Fox's 24:56 of ice time was the most of any skater on either side in the contest, but he was unable to help New York's offense in the loss. The 26-year-old had five blocked shots, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating Wednesday. It's the fifth consecutive outing that Fox has failed to register a point, a rare occurrence for the star defenseman. The Long Island native has four points (no goals) and a minus-1 rating in 11 contests so far during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 am
     
  • Most ice time of any forward
    Panarin didn't register a point in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Panthers in Game 1.

    Advice: Panarin was on the ice for almost 25 minutes in Wednesday's loss, but he was unable to provide any offensive production for New York. It's been a tough stretch for the star winger -- over his last four games Panarin only has two helpers and a minus-7 rating. The 32-year-old is up to four goals, seven assists and a minus-5 rating in 11 contests so far this postseason. Panarin and the Rangers will attempt to avoid falling into a two-game deficit in the series when they're back in action for Game 2 on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 am
     
  • 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 Yesterday, 8:50 am
     
  • Between pipes for Game 1
    Skinner will tend the twine on the road in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Stars on Thursday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

    Advice: Skinner has faced less than 20 shots in each of his last four appearances, posting a 3-1 record to go with a 2.66 GAA and .848 save percentage over that stretch. Despite being benched for Games 4 and 5 of the Oilers' second-round series versus Vancouver, the 25-year-old backstop was able to reclaim the starting role from Calvin Pickard for the final two games of the best-of-seven series. Skinner will likely remain the preferred choice in net for Edmonton during the Western Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:16 am
     
  • Sets up opening goal
    Kulak notched an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

    Advice: Kulak has a helper in two of the last three contests. The 30-year-old set up defense partner Cody Ceci's tally in the second period of Game 7. Kulak is up to four points, eight shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 17 hits and a plus-3 rating through 12 playoff appearances while filling a third-pairing role. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:19 pm
