  • One of each Monday
    McDavid scored a goal on six shots, dished an assist and added three hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.

    Advice: McDavid was pulling the strings in the first period, banking a shot in off Zach Hyman for the opening goal before scoring one of his own. The Stars bounced back in the second, and McDavid had no further involvement in the scoring. The superstar center is up to four goals, 21 assists, 43 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-5 rating through 15 playoff outings. Two of his tallies have come in the Western Conference Finals.

  • Yields four goals in loss
    Skinner stopped 17 of 21 shots in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    Advice: For the second game in a row, the Oilers' defense did well at shot suppression, but it wasn't enough. Skinner squandered a 2-0 lead after the first period and has allowed eight goals on 78 shots through the first three games of the Western Conference Finals. Skinner briefly lost his starting job in the second round, but this is the first time he's lost consecutive contests this postseason. Game 4 is Wednesday in Edmonton, and head coach Kris Knoblauch hasn't revealed if it will be Skinner or Calvin Pickard who starts that game. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:10 pm
     
  • Returns with two helpers
    Hintz logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Hintz set up the first two goals of Jason Robertson's hat trick. This was Hintz's return from a four-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he looked much like his usual self in 17:48 of ice time in a top-line role. The center is up to two goals, six helpers, 15 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating over 12 playoff appearances. Hintz should see significant ice time for the Stars moving forward, so he'll be a solid option in DFS formats. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:58 pm
