  • Two more assists in win
    Bouchard logged two power-play assists and blocked four shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Bouchard was held partly in check early in the series, but he racked up four helpers over the last two games as the Oilers' power play returned to its usual level of dominance. The defenseman is up to six goals, 21 helpers, 12 power-play points, 54 shots on net, 33 blocks and a plus-14 rating through 18 playoff outings. The Panthers' high pace and heavy play will be the next hurdle for Bouchard to face amid his breakout postseason as an all-around top-tier defenseman. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:34 pm

  • Two points in series-clinching win
    McDavid scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.

    Advice: Both of McDavid's points came on the power play in the first period. He dazzled with his handiwork through the Stars' defense on the opening tally 4:17 into the game before setting up Zach Hyman later in the first. After somewhat taking a backseat to Leon Draisaitl in the first two rounds, McDavid exploded with three goals and seven helpers over six contests in the Western Conference Finals. He'll get his first taste of Stanley Cup Finals action when the puck drops in Florida for Game 1 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:29 pm
     
  • Sends Edmonton to Cup Finals
    Skinner allowed one goal on 35 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Advice: The Oilers scored twice on their 10 shots, and Skinner made sure that was enough to win with one of his best performances of the playoffs. This was just the second time the Stars were able to put up 30-plus shots, but Skinner won both of those contests. He's now 11-5 with a 2.50 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 16 contests. Skinner is almost certain to be between the pipes for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals versus the Panthers on Saturday in Florida. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:26 pm

  • Adds late helper
    Fox recorded his eighth assist of the playoffs in Saturday's 2-1 season-ending loss against Florida in Game 6.

    Advice: Fox had the secondary assist on Artemi Panarin's goal late in the third period, but New York couldn't pull off the comeback. Fox added one shot, three hits, two blocks and a plus-1 rating in 24:11 of ice time. The 26-year-old led New York's blueliners in points this postseason with eight. That is not surprising, but he did not score a goal in 16 contests. There's speculation that the star defenseman could've been battling an injury, but there should be clarification on that front in the coming days. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:19 am

Trocheck doubled up on his previous career high in the playoffs -- he recorded 10 points during the 2021-22 season with Carolina. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:31 pm
