  • Generates helper
    Nugent-Hopkins posted an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Nugent-Hopkins jarred a puck loose and fed Zach Hyman for a breakaway tally. A strong playmaker, Nugent-Hopkins had gone seven games without an assist prior to Friday. The 31-year-old is at 22 points (10 on the power play), 36 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-1 rating through 24 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:31 pm

    Advice: Draisaitl's goal drought is up to eight games, but he's picked up three helpers over the last three contests. The 28-year-old set up Warren Foegele for the Oilers' opening goal Friday. Draisaitl is at 31 points, 73 shots on net, 23 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 24 playoff outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:29 pm
     
  • Fills empty cage
    McLeod scored an empty-net goal on four shots and added 10 PIM in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: McLeod has turned up his offense at the right time with three goals over the last four games. The 24-year-old forward is up to four tallies with no assists, 26 shots on net, 27 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 23 playoff contests. His recent offense will likely be enough to keep him in a bottom-six role for Monday's Game 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:28 pm

    Nurse scored an empty-net goal, added three hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Nurse has two goals this postseason, and he's scored both of them over the last three games. The defenseman is up to six points, 42 shots on net, 48 hits, 62 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 24 playoff contests. He'll likely remain in a second-pairing role for Monday's Game 7.

  • Tallies in Game 6 win
    Henrique scored a goal, went plus-2, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Henrique has three points over his last four games -- he's helped the Oilers pull back from a 3-0 deficit in the series. The forward remains in a third-line role with minimal power-play time, but he's been effective as a two-way skater during the playoffs. For the postseason, he's picked up seven points, 12 shots on net and 50 hits over 16 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:02 pm
     
  • Sets record for era
    Hyman scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Hyman's goal was his 16th of the playoffs, giving him the record for the most goals in a single postseason in the salary-cap era. He's picked up four points over his last three games after going scoreless in the first three contests of the Stanley Cup Finals. He's at 22 points, 88 shots on net, 52 hits and a plus-12 rating through 24 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:59 pm
     
  • Two points in win
    Foegele scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Foegele has stepped up big in this series -- he's racked up two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. The winger had just three points over his first 17 playoff appearances this year. Foegele is likely to remain on the second line for Monday's Game 7 as the Oilers try to complete the reverse sweep.

  • Forces Game 7
    Skinner stopped 20 of 21 shots in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.

    Advice: Skinner rattled off his third straight win to dig the Oilers out of a 3-0 series deficit. This victory sends the series to Florida one more time for Game 7 on Monday. Skinner has yet to win four games in a row this postseason -- the last time he did so was Feb. 26-March 5 during the regular season. The 25-year-old goalie's performance while helping to pull the Oilers back from the brink makes it a virtual guarantee he'll get the nod for Monday's winner-take-all contest.

  • Out for Game 6
    Kane (abdomen) will not play Friday against the Panthers, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

    Advice: Kane was considered a game-time call but will miss his fourth straight contest. The veteran winger has eight points in 20 games this postseason and was held scoreless with a minus-4 rating through two appearances against Florida prior to his injury. His status for a potential Game 7 on Monday is unclear at this time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:49 pm
