    • Scores twice in Game 2 win
      Heiskanen scored two power-play goals on five shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche in Game 2.

      Advice: Heiskanen opened the scoring in the first period and added a second goal in the middle frame. The defenseman is up to three goals and five assists through nine playoff outings, with five of his eight points coming on the power play. Heiskanen has added 25 shots on net, 17 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating as he continues to see the toughest defensive matchups. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 2
      Draisaitl (undisclosed) is day-to-day and questionable for Game 2 against Vancouver on Friday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports Thursday.

      Advice: Draisaitl dealt with a cramping issue during the second period of Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Canucks, though he was able to return in the third frame. However, the 28-year-old forward then missed Thursday's morning skate, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV. Draisaitl's value to the Oilers can't be overstated. He has five goals and 12 points through six playoff outings. If he's unable to play and Adam Henrique (lower body) returns after missing Game 1, then perhaps Henrique will serve as Edmonton's second-line center. However, if neither forward is available, then Ryan McLeod might be moved into that top-six role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:25 pm
       
    • Grabs two helpers
      Draisaitl recorded a pair of assists in Wednesday's 5-4 Game 1 loss to Vancouver. According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Draisaitl was dealing with cramps in the second period before returning in the third.

      Advice: Draisaitl managed just 16:43 of ice time due to his cramping issue, his lowest total during a game this postseason. Still, the world-class center has registered at least a point in all six playoff contests, racking up a combined five goals and seven helpers, including eight power-play points.

    • Ready to rock for Game 1
      Pettersson (illness) will play Wednesday in Game 1 versus the Oilers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Pettersson should slot into his usual spots on the second line and first power-play unit Wednesday. The 25-year-old pivot was a bit pedestrian in the first round against the Predators, picking up just three helpers across six outings after racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season contests.

    • Back-to-back losses
      Andersen made 35 saves on 39 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

      Advice: Andersen has allowed four goals in consecutive contests for the first time all season. He was limited to just 16 regular-season appearances due to injury, so perhaps shifting from that to making six consecutive starts has fatigued the 34-year-old netminder. Overall this postseason, Andersen is 4-3 with a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage through seven outings. Andersen's next chance to rebound would be in Game 3 on Thursday against New York.

    • Gets starting nod
      Andersen will defend the road goal during Game 2 versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan reports.

      Advice: Andersen struggled a bit against New York's potent offensive attack in Sunday's Game 1, surrendering four goals on just 23 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat. The Rangers will undoubtedly continue to be a challenging opponent for Andersen, but Sunday was just the second time the 34-year-old netminder has allowed four or more goals in a contest through 22 regular-season and playoff appearances combined in 2023-24, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him fare better in Game 2.

    • Under the weather
      Pettersson isn't practicing Tuesday due to an illness, leaving his status for Wednesday's Game 1 versus Edmonton in doubt, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

      Advice: After racking up 34 goals and 89 points through 82 regular-season outings, Pettersson was a bit of a disappointment during Vancouver's first-round series win over the Predators, picking up three helpers while firing just eight shots on net through six contests. Another update on his status for Game 1 will likely surface following Wednesday's morning skate. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:44 am
       
    • Tallies in loss
      Necas scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

      Advice: Necas cut the deficit to one goal with a tally early in the third period. The 25-year-old forward is up to two goals, four assists, 11 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through six playoff outings. Necas has been held off the scoresheet only once this postseason, so he should provide consistent offense in a middle-six role during this second-round series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:03 pm
       
    • Surrenders four goals in loss
      Andersen stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1 of the second round.

      Advice: Andersen had not allowed more than three goals in any of his 15 games since returning from a blood clotting issue in early March. He'll likely have his hands full with the Rangers, who won the Metropolitan Division and the Presidents' Trophy in the regular season. Andersen is 4-2 with a 2.54 GAA and an .899 save percentage through six playoff contests. He has probably earned the right to start again and attempt to bounce back in Tuesday's Game 2.
