  • Tallies in Game 3 loss
    Foegele scored a goal on two shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Foegele cashed in on a breakaway in the second period for the Oilers' first goal. After getting ejected for a knee-on-knee hit in Game 2, Foegele was able to net his second tally of the postseason Thursday. The winger has just four points with 33 hits, 27 shots on net, 23 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 18 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:45 pm
     
  • Stumbles in second period
    Skinner allowed four goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 3.

    Advice: Skinner brought some of his trouble on himself, as one of the Panthers' goals in the second period came from his own turnover. Florida scored three times in a span of 6:19 in the middle frame, and the Oilers' comeback fell short, leaving Skinner with a third straight loss. He's 11-8 with a 2.59 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 19 playoff contests. The Oilers will face a herculean task to try to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Finals, but there's been no talk of Calvin Pickard getting a start, so it seems head coach Kris Knoblauch will likely ride with Skinner to the end.

  • Manages helper in win
    Luostarinen recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Luostarinen has continued to make an impact from the third line with four points over his last five games. His offense has been streaky in the playoffs, but his place in the lineup has never been in doubt. The 25-year-old forward is up to eight points, 24 shots on net, 55 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:36 pm
     
  • Deals assist in Game 3
    Lundell posted an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Lundell has a goal and four helpers over his last five games. The 22-year-old continues to provide steady two-way play from the third line as one of the Panthers' reliable depth forwards. He's at three goals, 12 assists, 23 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-9 rating through 20 playoff games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:34 pm
     
  • Chips in with assist
    Rodrigues recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Rodrigues has three goals and two assists during his active four-game point streak. The 30-year-old continues to see even-strength usage on the top line, which has helped him click on offense at just the right time for the Panthers. He's up to 12 points, 37 shots, 49 hits and a plus-4 rating through 20 playoff contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:33 pm
     
  • Provides helper Thursday
    Forsling notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Forsling had gone three games without a point before he got the primary assist on Sam Reinhart's first-period tally. While he's put up solid offense, Forsling's excellent defense has been his calling card in the playoffs. The 28-year-old blueliner is at 12 points, a plus-15 rating, 45 shots on net, 38 hits and 26 blocked shots through 20 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:31 pm
     
  • Starting Game 3
    Skinner will protect the home goal versus the Panthers in Thursday's Game 3, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

    Advice: Skinner has let in five goals on 45 shots over the first two games of the series, but he'll stay between the pipes for the first contest in Edmonton. The fact that he hasn't let in more than three goals in nine of his last 10 contests is a positive, but the Oilers have just one tally over two games in the Stanley Cup Finals, so Skinner will likely need more goal support to have a chance to best the Panthers on Thursday.

  • Slated to play in Game 3
    Nurse (hip) is expected to play in Game 3 against Florida on Thursday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

    Advice: Nurse was initially questionable after sustaining a hip injury during Monday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers, and that concern only grew after he missed Wednesday's practice, per Reid Wilkins of 630 CHED. However, coach Kris Knoblauch expects the 29-year-old Nurse to be available Thursday. Nurse has struggled in the 2024 playoffs, recording just three assists and posting a terrible minus-15 rating over 20 appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:32 am
     
  • Ejected from Game 2
    Foegele was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct in Game 2 versus the Panthers on Monday.

    Advice: Foegele was dismissed from the game due to his knee-on-knee hit against Eetu Luostarinen, who did eventually return to the game. For his part, the 28-year-old Foegele was limited to just 1:54 of ice time due to his ejection, which extended his 16-game goal drought. Since he was given a game misconduct, it seems unlikely the winger will receive any additional discipline, and he should be an option for Game 3 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:49 am
