  • Breakout effort in win
    Holloway scored twice, dished an assist, went plus-3, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.

    Advice: Holloway hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since the second round, and he saw just 5:24 of ice time in Game 3 versus the Panthers. He responded to the benching in a big way, scoring in the first and third periods to help the Oilers force Game 5. Through 22 playoff outings, the 22-year-old forward has five goals, two assists, 28 shots on net, 73 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role.

  • Out for Game 4
    Kane (abdomen) won't play in Game 4 against Florida on Saturday, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

    Advice: Kane, who has been dealing with a sports hernia since the end of the regular season, will miss his second straight contest. He has generated four goals, four assists, 44 shots on net and 64 hits in 20 contests this postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm
  • Not at practice Saturday
    Kane (hip) is not at morning practice and is questionable ahead of Game 4 versus Florida on Saturday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kane didn't play in Game 3 on Thursday after logging only 10:33 of ice time in Game 2 on Monday. The feisty winger has four goals, four assists, 37 PIM and 64 hits in 20 appearances this postseason. Warren Foegele is slated to occupy a spot in the top-six group should Kane be unavailable to play.

  • Inks two-way contract
    Reinhardt signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Friday.

    Advice: Reinhardt had eight goals, 23 points and 76 PIM in 56 regular-season contests with AHL Belleville in 2023-24. The 24-year-old appeared in one NHL game in 2021-22, but he hasn't played at the top level over the past two campaigns. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:45 pm
  • Inks overseas deal
    Henriksson agreed to terms on a three-year contract with the Swedish club Vaxjo Lakers on Thursday.

    Advice: Henriksson will be a restricted free agent for the Rangers this offseason, so the team could retain his NHL rights by giving him a qualifying offer. Having said that, the fact that Henriksson signed a three-year deal with a Swedish team suggests he won't be making a return to North America any time soon, so the Rangers could simply decide to let him walk. In the minors this year, the 23-year-old center generated 11 goals and 12 assists in 64 games -- that's not the type of productivity New York was hoping for when they selected him in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft.

  • Pockets helper in loss
    Henrique registered an assist and five hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Henrique has struggled to make an impact this postseason, earning five points, eight shots on net, 43 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 13 contests. He missed time with an ankle injury and has often been stuck on the third line when healthy. Given the Oilers have lost three straight games, he could get moved into a top-six role for Game 4 on Saturday, but he's unlikely to see enough ice time to make him an intriguing option for DFS.

  • Dishes pair of helpers
    McDavid logged two assists, five shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: McDavid has no goals in the Stanley Cup Finals, but he's earned three assists, 14 shots on net and four hits over his last three games. The 27-year-old is up to five goals, 29 helpers, 69 shots, 40 hits and a plus-7 rating through 21 playoff contests. He leads the league in postseason scoring, though it's tough to imagine him being awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy if the Oilers get swept with a loss in Game 4 on Saturday.

  • Finds twine in loss
    McLeod scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: McLeod has two goals over his last six contests, but that represents all of his offense this postseason. The 24-year-old was shuffled onto the second line with Evander Kane (hip) unavailable for Thursday's contest, though McLeod still saw just 9:53 of ice time. In addition to his two points, he's added 21 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-6 rating through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:49 pm
  • Tallies in Game 3 loss
    Foegele scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Foegele cashed in on a breakaway in the second period for the Oilers' first goal. After getting ejected for a knee-on-knee hit in Game 2, Foegele was able to net his second tally of the postseason Thursday. The winger has just four points with 33 hits, 27 shots on net, 23 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 18 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:45 pm
