    • Nabs Game 7 win
      Skinner stopped 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks in Game 7.

      Advice: Skinner earned back-to-back wins after a two-game benching, but he's still not showing that much to inspire confidence. In those wins, he stopped 29 of 32 shots, a product of the Canucks' lackluster offense more than Skinner's own quality of play. Nonetheless, he's likely done enough to regain the starting job heading into the Western Conference Finals, which begin in Dallas on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:04 pm
       
    • Gets starting nod for Game 7
      Skinner will be between the road pipes for Monday's Game 7 clash with the Canucks, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Skinner returned from a two-game benching to stop 14 of 15 shots in a Game 6 win. In each of his last three appearances, the netminder has faced less than 20 shots, though that's not surprising since the Canucks have averaged a league-worst 21.1 shots per game in the postseason. If he can secure the win Monday, Skinner should be the presumptive starter moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 am
       
    • Not playing Monday
      Henrique (ankle) will not suit up for Game 7 against Vancouver on Monday, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.

      Advice: Henrique will miss his fifth straight contest Monday, and he dressed in just one game this series. The veteran forward scored two points in Game 1 against the Kings during the first round but has not scored a point in five straight appearances. His status for the next round -- if Edmonton wins Game 7 against the Canucks -- is unclear at this time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:53 pm
       
    • Lightly tested in win
      Skinner stopped 14 of 15 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6.

      Advice: Skinner was benched for the previous two games, but he was back between the pipes with the Oilers' season on the line. The Canucks came out flat, leaving Skinner with little work to do as he snagged the win and forced Game 7. The 25-year-old is 6-3 in the playoffs, but he's given up three or more goals in six of his appearances. Securing the win Saturday makes it likely he'll start in the win-or-go-home contest Monday in Vancouver. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:13 pm
       
    • Back in net
      Skinner will guard the home crease in Game 6 against Vancouver on Saturday, Gene Principe of Sportsnet reports.

      Advice: Skinner ceded the crease to Calvin Pickard in Edmonton's last two contests after struggling to a .793 save percentage in the first three games of the series. With the Oilers now down 3-2, they'll turn back to Skinner as they look to force a Game 7. The 25-year-old netminder is 5-3-0 overall in the postseason with an .877 save percentage and 3.22 GAA.

    • Logs helper Friday in Game 6 win
      Tkachuk registered an assist and three shots on net in the 2-1 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

      Advice: Tkachuk's helper came on the game-winning goal early in the third period. In addition to showing up on the scoresheet, Tkachuk also had a plus-one rating in 19:36 of ice time. Over the six games in the series, the 26-year-old was a consistent contributor, tallying five points (one goal and four assists) and maintaining a physical presence with 20 hits. The Panthers will continue their playoff run when they face the Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:30 pm
       
    • Unavailable Saturday
      Henrique (ankle) will not play Saturday against the Canucks, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

      Advice: Henrique has missed all but one game this series, but it does sound like he's nearing a return. However, Edmonton is facing elimination in Game 6 on Saturday. Henrique has two points with four shots on goals through six postseason contests. Should the Oilers force a Game 7, he'll have until Monday to get healthy enough to play.

    • Drawing close to return
      Henrique (ankle) will miss Thursday's Game 5 against Vancouver, but he is close to returning, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

      Advice: Henrique also wasn't in the lineup for Edmonton's previous two contests. He has a goal and an assist in six playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with 24 markers and 51 points across 82 appearances. His next opportunity to play will be in Game 6 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:26 pm
       
    • Won't play Tuesday
      Henrique (ankle) won't play Tuesday in Game 4 against the Canucks, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

      Advice: Henrique will miss his second straight contest. He has picked up one goal, one assist, four shots on net and 22 hits in six outings this postseason. The 34-year-old forward had 24 goals and 51 points in 82 appearances between the Oilers and Ducks during the 2023-24 regular season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:23 am
