Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Unavailable for Games 1 and 2
Per Ryan Rishaug of TSN, Ekholm (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup for Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference Finals, according to head coach Kris Knoblauch.
Knoblauch is optimistic that Ekholm will return at some point in Round 3, as the left-shot defenseman has missed 21 of the Oilers' last 22 games, seeing only 1:52 of ice time April 11 in his only outing since March 26 versus Dallas. Ekholm had nine goals, 24 assists, 143 shots and 95 blocked shots across 65 regular-season games in 2024-25.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Will miss start of series
Pickard (undisclosed) won't be available for the start of the Western Conference Finals, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports Friday.
Based on the timeline for both Pickard and Mattias Ekholm (undisclosed), fantasy players should probably be expecting Pickard to at least miss Games 1 and 2 -- though it could certainly be longer. With the backstop on the shelf, a resurgent Stuart Skinner figures to get the starting nod for those contests. Even if healthy, Pickard may struggle to take back the No. 1 gig after Skinner posted back-to-back shutouts versus the Golden Knights.

Oilers' Darnell Nurse: Adds assist in overtime win
Nurse posted an assist, three shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in a 1-0 win over the Golden Knights in Wednesday's Game 5.
Nurse continues to make more of an impact with physical play rather than on the scoresheet. He had two points over five contests in the second round, matching his output from the first round against the Kings. Overall, the blueliner is at two goals, two helpers, 27 shots on net, 27 hits, 28 blocked shots, six PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 11 playoff outings. He's firmly in a top-four role on the Oilers' blue line.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Sets up game-winner
Draisaitl logged an assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 1-0 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Draisaitl spent most of the game centering his own line after playing alongside Connor McDavid for the majority of the first four games of the second round. The switch paid off, as Draisaitl set up Kasperi Kapanen 7:19 into overtime for the game-winning and series-clinching goal. Draisaitl is up to 16 points, 33 shots on net, 12 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 11 playoff contests. He's been held off the scoresheet just twice this postseason.

Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Scores lone goal in win
Kapanen scored a goal on five shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 1-0 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 5.
The Oilers continue to get contributions from unlikely sources, with Kapanen being the latest to make his mark this postseason. His goal 7:19 into overtime was his first tally since Jan. 23 versus the Canucks, ending a 32-game goal drought. The winger played alongside Leon Draisaitl in Wednesday's win, and this was just the second appearance of the playoffs for Kapanen. Given his clutch goal, it seems likely he'll stay in the lineup at least to start the Western Conference Finals.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Redemption arc continues in Game 5
Skinner posted a 24-save shutout in Wednesday's 1-0 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Skinner has stepped up in the biggest way possible while Calvin Pickard (undisclosed) has missed the last two games. Skinner shut out the Golden Knights in Games 4 and 5, finishing off the series win to send the Oilers back to the Western Conference Finals. At this point, it's tough to tell which goalie will get the starts once Pickard is healthy, as Skinner's recent play has put him back on track after a horrendous start to the postseason cost him the starting job. The Oilers will have at least a little time to rest up before the next round, as they're the first to advance.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Remains out Wednesday
Pickard (undisclosed) isn't expected to play in Game 5 against Vegas on Wednesday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Pickard wasn't on the ice for Edmonton's morning skate. He's set to miss his third straight game. The 33-year-old netminder is 6-0 with a 2.84 GAA and an .888 save percentage across seven playoff appearances this year. Stuart Skinner is slated to start Wednesday, while Olivier Rodrigue will serve as the backup.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Slated to start Wednesday
Skinner is expected to start on the road against Vegas in Game 5 on Wednesday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.
Skinner has struggled in the 2025 playoffs with a 3.95 GAA and an .857 save percentage across four outings. However, he's coming off a 23-save shutout, so perhaps he's turned a corner. Calvin Pickard (undisclosed) is expected to remain out Wednesday, so Olivier Rodrigue is set to serve as the understudy. Vegas ranks 10th in goals per game with 2.80 in the postseason.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Still DTD ahead of Game 5
Pickard (undisclosed) remains day-to-day ahead of Game 5 against the Golden Knights on Wednesday, according to Ryan Rishaug of TSN.
After winning six straight outings and helping the Oilers move forward in their postseason run, Pickard has missed back-to-back games as a result of an undisclosed injury. Stuart Skinner posted a 23-save shutout in Monday's 3-0 win in Game 4, so Pickard will likely be relegated to the No. 2 netminding gig when he's ready to return to the lineup. Skinner may not have a long leash, though, as he holds a 3.95 GAA and an .857 save percentage over four playoff appearances. Edmonton can advance to the Western Conference Finals with a victory in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Oilers' Evander Kane: Lights lamp in Game 4
Kane scored a goal in Monday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
Kane closed out the scoring for the Oilers with a goal in the second period. It was his fourth goal of the 2025 postseason, and he's tallied three points (two goals, one helper) in Edmonton's second-round series versus the Golden Knights.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Scores two goals Monday
Henrique scored two goals in the 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4 on Monday.
Henrique found the back of the net for the first time in the series and stepped up when the team needed him the most, scoring the first two goals in what ended up being a low-scoring affair. Henrique has three goals and one assist in 10 postseason appearances while also adding 21 shots, 30 hits and 14 blocked shots.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Posts 23-save shutout
Skinner posted a 23-save shutout in the 3-0 Game 4 win over the Golden Knights on Monday.
Skinner was excellent throughout the entire game and posted his first shutout -- and his first win -- of the 2025 playoffs. Skinner has started in the Oilers' last two games due to the absence of Calvin Pickard (undisclosed). Although Skinner has struggled overall in the postseason this year -- he's just 1-3 with a 3.95 GAA and an .857 save percentage even after Monday's shutout victory -- his latest performance might be enough to earn him the start for Game 5 on Wednesday, even if Pickard, who remains day-to-day, ends up being available.

Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Resumes skating
Ekholm (undisclosed) has resumed skating but isn't close to being ready to return to the lineup, according to Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk on Monday.
Ekholm spent most of March and April on the shelf due to a lingering injury before being ruled out indefinitely near the end of the regular season. He is still weeks away from playing, and a potential return to the lineup in the postseason remains unclear. Ekholm had nine goals, 33 points, 143 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 42 hits across 65 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.
