  • Adds helper in overtime loss
    Carrick recorded an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Carrick set up the first of Dylan Holloway's two goals in the game. The 32-year-old Carrick remains in a fourth-line role, though he could be replaced by Sam Gagner or Derek Ryan if the Oilers opt to mix things up. Carrick had 16 points, 92 shots on net, 167 hits and 102 PIM over 77 regular-season appearances between the Oilers and the Ducks. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Records helper
    Foegele notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Foegele has a goal and an assist through the first two games of the playoffs. He helped out on a Brett Kulak tally in the first period of this contest. Foegele has added seven shots on net, six hits and a minus-2 rating. The 28-year-old winger will have upside in DFS as long as he remains alongside Leon Draisaitl on the second line.

  • Picks up power-play assist
    McDavid recorded a power-play assist, three hits and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: McDavid didn't have much of an encore after a five-assist performance in Game 1. He was limited to a secondary helper on Zach Hyman's tally midway through the second period, as the Kings' defense did a better job of limiting his chances. The 27-year-old has four shots on net and six hits over two playoff contests, and he should continue to put pressure on the Kings even if it only leads to chances for his teammates.

  • Contributes pair of assists
    Janmark logged two assists, five hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Janmark helped out on both of Dylan Holloway's tallies in the game. Playing in a fourth-line role, Janmark shouldn't be expected to put up much offense in the postseason. He had just 12 points with 67 shots on net, 54 hits and 46 PIM over 71 regular-season appearances in a similar assignment. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Two more points in loss
    Draisaitl logged two assists (one on the power play), eight shots on net and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Draisaitl set up goals by Brett Kulak and Zach Hyman in the contest. Three of Draisaitl's four points over two playoff games have come on the power play. He's added 11 shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Draisaitl continues to center the second line, but the 28-year-old could move to play alongside Connor McDavid if the Kings are able to win Friday's Game 3, as the Oilers often put their best players together when playing from behind.

  • Pots goal in loss
    Kulak scored a goal and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Kulak got the Oilers on the board in the first period after a slow start. The 30-year-old defenseman hadn't scored since March 2, earning just six assists over 25 contests between tallies. Kulak's spot in the lineup appears safe, but he's limited to a third-pairing role after posting 16 points, 94 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and 77 hits over 82 regular-season games.

  • Scores on power play in loss
    Hyman scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Hyman has racked up four goals, one assist, eight hits and 11 shots on net through two playoff contests. His tally in the second period Wednesday tied the game at 3-3. After a 54-goal regular season, it's clear Hyman is dialed in as the finisher on the Oilers' top line while also serving as a strong net-front presence on the power play.

  • Tallies twice in loss
    Holloway scored two goals, went plus-2 and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: After the Oilers' top line dominated Game 1, Holloway showed off his skills from the fourth line in Game 2. He's picked up five goals and two assists over his last eight contests despite a fairly limited role. Holloway doesn't have a path to power-play time with the Oilers at essentially full health in the postseason, but he's doing all he can to solidify his place in the lineup.

  • Yields five goals in loss
    Skinner allowed five goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings in Game 2.

    Advice: Skinner is now 1-1 in the postseason, having allowed nine goals on 63 shots. He's given up at least four goals in three straight games, something he didn't do in the seven outings prior to his recent struggles. The Oilers will roll with Skinner in goal, though it could be up to the offense to cover up his mistakes in a first-round series that's not been kind to the goalies so far. The next game is Friday in Los Angeles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:13 pm
