  • 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.

  • Scores first playoff goal
    Broberg scored a goal and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: Broberg's first career playoff goal stretched the Oilers' lead to 3-0 in the second period. The defenseman has played in each of the last two games, replacing Vincent Desharnais in a third-pairing role. With limited minutes, Broberg is unlikely to be a steady source of offense, and he also lacks the physicality that kept Desharnais in the lineup for so long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 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 Yesterday, 8:34 pm
     
  • Wins again in Game 5
    Skinner stopped 19 of 20 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Stars in Game 5.

    Advice: The Oilers' defense again stood tall, making Skinner's job easier with another light workload. The lone goal against him was tipped in by Wyatt Johnston. Skinner has won five of his last seven games, and he's given up two goals or fewer in six of those contests. He'll likely be between the pipes in Game 6 on Sunday with a chance to send the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Finals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:31 pm
     
  • Tending twine Friday
    Oettinger will get the starting nod for Game 5 at home against Edmonton on Friday, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: After winning two straight games to put the Stars up 2-1 over the Oilers, Oettinger turned in his worst start of the series and one of his worst performances of the postseason in Game 4 on Wednesday. He coughed up four goals on 28 shots, lowering his postseason save percentage to .917 through 17 games. Oettinger hasn't lost two straight games since the first round of the playoffs against Vegas.

  • Between pipes in Game 5
    Skinner will defend the road crease in Dallas for Game 5 on Friday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

    Advice: Skinner gave up a pair of early goals in Game 4 and then shut the door, stopping 20 shots as the Oilers evened the series at 2-2 with a 5-2 win Wednesday. Skinner has a 2.34 GAA and a .900 save percentage in four games against Dallas in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:57 am
     
  • Steady once again in road win
    Bobrovsky made 25 saves on 27 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win against New York in Game 5.

    Advice: Bobrovsky was his usual self between the pipes Thursday, helping the Panthers inch closer to advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals. The 35-year-old has allowed two goals or less in nine of his last 10 appearances. With Florida rarely allowing more than 30 shots on goal during this playoff run, Bobrovsky has been able to perform at an extremely high level. Florida has also consistently been able to provide Bobrovsky with offensive support -- they've scored less than two goals only three times this postseason and have not been shutout. Bobrovsky is 11-5 with a 2.27 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 16 postseason appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:48 am
