    • Consecutive victories
      Andersen turned aside 20 of 21 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers in Game 5.

      Advice: Andersen was solid Monday night as the Hurricanes were on the brink of elimination at Madison Square Garden. The 34-year-old did not face a heavy workload as Carolina played with more structure in front of the goaltender. It was only the second time in Andersen's nine starts so far this postseason that he's allowed less than two goals in a game. Carolina will need the veteran to be at his best again Thursday in Game 6 against New York. Andersen is 6-3 with a 2.46 GAA and a .902 save percentage during the playoffs.

    • Racks up three more points
      Heiskanen scored a goal on three shots, dished two assists, went plus-2 and blocked four shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 4.

      Advice: Heiskanen has three goals and four assists over four games versus the Avalanche, outshining rival blueliner Cale Makar in the series. Monday saw Heiskanen earn his third multi-point effort of the playoffs. The 24-year-old is up to four goals, 12 points, 29 shots on net, 24 blocks, 18 hits and a minus-4 rating over 11 playoff appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:06 am
       
    • First goalie off Monday
      Andersen was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road for Game 5 against the Rangers.

      Advice: Andersen was almost certainly going to get the start after helping the team stave off elimination by stopping 22 of 25 shots in Game 4. Still, the veteran netminder is sporting a lackluster .874 save percentage over his last four appearances. At this point, if Andersen can extend the series again, he should remain between the pipes heading into Game 6. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:24 am
       
    • Contributes power-play assist
      Nugent-Hopkins logged a power-play assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Nugent-Hopkins has six helpers over his last four games, with three of them coming on the power play. Through eight playoff outings, he has one goal, nine helpers, six power-play points, 11 shots on net, 15 hits and an even plus-minus rating. He's centered the second line in the last two games as head coach Kris Knoblauch attempts to spark the Oilers' offense by uniting Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl at even strength.

    • Two points in loss
      Draisaitl scored a power-play goal on five shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Draisaitl got the Oilers within a goal in the second period and helped out on Evan Bouchard's tally in the third, but it wasn't enough. The 28-year-old Draisaitl has multiple points in seven of eight playoff contests, with the lone exception being the Oilers' 1-0 win over the Kings in Game 4 of the first round. He's at seven goals, 11 helpers, 35 shots on net, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating this postseason. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:28 pm
       
    • Pulled from Sunday's loss
      Skinner allowed four goals on 15 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks in Game 3.

      Advice: Skinner played the first two periods and saw a little more ice time late in the third after some gamesmanship from head coach Kris Knoblauch. Skinner's play remains a serious concern -- the Canucks have fired 58 shots at him over three contests, but he's let in 12 goals while losing two of those games. The Oilers were able to cover the 25-year-old in the first round, but they've had less success in that regard against the Canucks. Per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic, Knoblauch wouldn't commit to sticking with Skinner for Game 4 on Tuesday. Calvin Pickard made three saves in Sunday's contest, but veteran Jack Campbell could also be an option should the Oilers get desperate in the next week. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:22 pm
       
    • Guarding cage Sunday
      Skinner will get the starting nod at home against Vancouver on Sunday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Skinner helped tie the series at 1-1 by stopping 16 shots in Friday's Game 2 victory. He's struggled so far against the Canucks, yielding eight goals on 43 shots in two contests. Skinner has won five of his seven postseason starts despite registering a lackluster .888 save percentage in the process. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:07 pm
       
    • Sets up opening goal
      Heiskanen provided an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.

      Advice: Heiskanen set up Logan Stankoven's first playoff goal at 18:39 of the first period. With four points over three games in the second round, Heiskanen is looking like himself again after his offense tailed off late in the first round. He's at three goals, six helpers, 26 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-6 rating through 10 playoff appearances. He can be a big factor on offense, though his surface stats defensively are likely to suffer from dealing with tough matchups. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:15 pm
       
    • Keeps streak going with helper
      Zibanejad logged an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.

      Advice: Zibanejad fed Alexis Lafreniere for a game-tying goal in the third period. The helper extended Zibanejad's point streak to 14 games, during which he has accumulated five goals and 16 helpers. That includes three goals, 10 assists, 22 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over eight playoff contests. The 31-year-old center continues to pile up offense while seeing a top-line role.
