Oilers' Troy Stecher: Available for Game 4
Stecher (undisclosed) has been cleared from his injury and is available to play in Game 4 on Sunday versus the Kings, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
If Stecher draws in, it'll likely be to replace Ty Emberson on the third pairing. Don't expect to see Stecher get much ice time, as the Oilers will likely continue to lean on their top blueliners throughout the postseason.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Helpers in consecutive contests
Podkolzin notched an assist and seven hits in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Podkolzin has a helper in each of the last two contests. The 23-year-old forward has added 14 hits, two shots on net and 10 PIM over three playoff contests. He hasn't consistently been in the top six during the postseason, and that will limit his ability to get on the scoresheet regularly. Podkolzin still offers some fantasy appeal for his toughness, but don't expect steady scoring.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Sends helper in Game 3 win
Henrique supplied an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Henrique had 10 points over the last 13 regular-season games, but he went quiet with a pair of scoreless outings to open the playoffs. He got back on the scoresheet Friday by helping out on the first of Connor Brown's two goals in the game. Henrique has added four shots on net, 15 hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three postseason contests. He'll likely be deployed mostly as a defensive center in a bottom-six role, but he can score when called upon for offense.

Oilers' Jake Walman: Logs assist in win
Walman notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Walman picked up his first point in three playoff contests. The 29-year-old has added three shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-5 rating. He's seeing time in a top-four role and on the second power-play unit. Walman has scoring potential after a career year of 40 points in 65 regular-season outings between the Oilers and the Sharks.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Dishes pair of assists
Hyman logged two assists, three shots on goal and five hits in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Hyman has earned a goal, two assists, six shots on net, 14 hits and an even plus-minus rating over three playoff contests. The 32-year-old winger set up goals by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid. As long as Hyman's in a top-six role, he should have a good chance to be productive on offense. He closed the regular season on a seven-game skid followed by a three-game injury absence, but he's looked pretty close to 100 percent in the postseason.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Helps out twice on power play
Draisaitl notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Draisaitl has racked up two goals, three assists, nine shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating over three playoff contests. The 29-year-old is showing no signs of trouble after missing 11 of the last 14 regular-season games due to various injuries. Draisaitl should continue to be a big factor on offense as one of the Oilers' most productive players in all situations.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Strikes early in win
Nugent-Hopkins scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring just 2:49 into the game. This ended an 11-game goal drought for the 32-year-old, who had just one assist in that span. He was limited to 49 points in 78 regular-season contests, his lowest output in four years. He'll continue to see top-six minutes and power-play time, but Nugent-Hopkins doesn't produce offense at the same level as some of the Oilers' other top-six players.

Oilers' Evander Kane: Two points in win
Kane scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged five hits in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Kane helped out on a Connor Brown goal in the second period before scoring one of his own in the third, which tied the game at 4-4. It elicited a failed challenge from the Kings, which allowed the Oilers to pull ahead 10 seconds later with an Evan Bouchard power-play marker. Kane has played in the last two games after missing the entire regular season while recovering from a long list of surgeries. He has two points five shots on net, nine hits, four PIM and a plus-1 rating over those two appearances.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Pots pair of goals in Game 3 win
Brown scored twice on three shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Brown tied the game briefly at 3-3 in the second period, and he added a second empty-netter in the third to help secure the Oilers' first win of the series. The 31-year-old winger filled in on the top line late in the regular season, but he's since moved back to a bottom-six role now that the Oilers' forward group is healthier. Brown had 30 points in 82 regular-season contests, so he can be a decent source of depth scoring this postseason.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Scores twice on power play
Bouchard scored two power-play goals on four shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Bouchard put the Oilers up 2-0 in the first period, but it was his second goal of the game at 13:28 of the third that stood as the game-winner. The 25-year-old is up to five points, 10 shots, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over three playoff outings. If the Oilers can gain some traction on the power play, Bouchard will continue to have a significant role on offense while seeing top-four minutes defensively as well.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Three-point effort in win
McDavid scored an empty-net goal on four shots, added two assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
McDavid has racked up seven points, nine shots on net, nine hits and a plus-3 rating over three playoff contests in this first-round series. The 28-year-old contributed points on two of the Oilers' four goals in the third period that helped them avoid facing elimination in Sunday's Game 4. As McDavid goes, so will the Oilers, so he'll need to stay hot throughout the playoffs to keep them competitive.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Wins ugly in Game 3
Pickard allowed four goals on 28 shots in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Pickard was able to do what Stuart Skinner couldn't in the first two games of the series -- secure a win. That said, Pickard looked no better than his fellow goalie in doing so, but this win at least bought the Oilers some breathing room, as a loss would have put them on the brink of elimination. The 33-year-old could be tabbed to start again in Game 4 on Sunday as the Oilers try to establish some positive momentum.

Oilers' Troy Stecher: Not playing Friday
Stecher (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup Friday for Game 3 versus the Kings, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Stecher was on the ice for warmups, which indicates he's getting closer to a return, but it doesn't look like it'll happen Friday. The defenseman is set to miss a fifth straight contest, and he's not guaranteed to have a place in the lineup even when he's cleared to play.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Drawing start in Game 3
Pickard is slated to start Friday's Game 3 at home against the Kings, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.
Although Stuart Skinner drew the start in each of the Oilers' first two playoff matchups this year, Pickard entered Wednesday's Game 2 loss in relief and allowed a goal on three shots (.667 save percentage). The Oilers are making several changes to their lineup ahead of Game 3, including giving Pickard the start. Pickard made two starts against the Kings during the regular season, going 0-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .891 save percentage.

Oilers' Brett Kulak: Produces assist
Kulak notched an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Kulak has three helpers over his last seven games. The 31-year-old defenseman put up a career-high 25 points in 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. While he's often listed on the third pairing, his shutdown role sees him earn top-four minutes regularly. Despite the significant usage, Kulak isn't expected to be a big scoring threat in the playoffs.

Oilers' Vasily Podkolzin: Generates assist in loss
Podkolzin notched an assist, three hits and 10 PIM in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Podkolzin helped out on a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the third period. The 23-year-old Podkolzin then earned a misconduct penalty later in the frame, which ended his game early. He spent much of the season in a middle-six role, but the return of Evander Kane gives the Oilers a more experienced physical winger to deploy. Podkolzin had 24 points over 82 regular-season contests, but he'll be hard-pressed to match that scoring pace if he remains on the fourth line.
