Oilers' Philip Broberg: Moved to minors
Broberg was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.
Broberg is moving frequently between the NHL and minors, which is a trend that's likely to continue. He had two assists in 12 regular-season games with the Oilers. The 22-year-old has also supplied five goals and 38 points across 49 contests with Bakersfield.

Oilers' Philip Broberg: In NHL again
Broberg was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
It appears the Oilers will be juggling Broberg back and forth between leagues for the foreseeable future. It's unclear if he'll be in consideration for any NHL action during the playoffs, barring an injury to one of the team's blueliners.

Oilers' Philip Broberg: Returned to AHL
Broberg was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.
Broberg has been up and down from the minors recently. He was a healthy scratch for Edmonton's 7-4 win over the Kings on Monday in Game 1. With Bakersfield set to open a best-of-three playoff series versus Ontario on Wednesday, Broberg may stay in the AHL to see some game action.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Erupts for four helpers
Bouchard logged four assists (two on the power play), three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Bouchard helped out on both of the Oilers' first-period tallies and added two more assists in the third when their power play took over. The defenseman had a career year of 18 goals and 64 assists in 81 appearances during the regular season, which included 35 power-play points. Bouchard's role on the first power-play unit gives him a high ceiling on offense.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Distributes five assists in Game 1
McDavid racked up five assists, including three on the power play, in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
It's a fitting start to the playoffs in the year that McDavid recorded a 100-assist regular season. He's proven he can still be dominant without scoring a goal, though he'll likely get plenty of looks of his own going forward. McDavid has earned 11 points over his last five contests, with four multi-point efforts in that span.

Oilers' Warren Foegele: Fills empty cage
Foegele scored an empty-net goal on five shots and added two hits in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Foegele has four goals over his last four games, a span in which he's fired 25 shots on net. The 28-year-old winger remains in a middle-six role for the Oilers, and he doesn't often see much power-play time. He had 20 goals and 41 points, both career highs, in 82 regular-season appearances this year.

Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Strikes on power play
Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Nugent-Hopkins rested for the regular-season finale. The 31-year-old has spent much of the season in a top-six role, and he began the playoffs on the second line. He produced 18 goals and 67 points in 80 contests this year, well off the mark from last year's 37-goal, 104-point campaign. Nonetheless, Nugent-Hopkins should continue to be an excellent source of power-play production.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: One of each in Game 1 win
Henrique scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and logged two hits in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Henrique was on the top line Monday, and it worked out well for him. He scored in the first period and helped out on the second of Zach Hyman's three goals, an even-strength tally in the second. Henrique had just nine points over 22 regular-season games as an Oiler following his trade from the Ducks, but he'll have significantly more scoring upside as long as his even-strength minutes come on the top line.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Earns two power-play points
Draisaitl scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Both of Draisaitl's points came on the power play in the high-scoring win. The center had five multi-point efforts over his last 11 games of the regular season. He finished 2023-24 with 41 goals, 106 points, 39 power-play points, 217 shots on net and a plus-26 rating. For now, Draisaitl will center his own line, and that will likely continue unless the Oilers fall behind in a series.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Hat trick, assist in win
Hyman scored three times on nine shots, dished an assist, doled out five hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
Hyman rested in the regular-season finale, and it was well earned after his 54-goal, 77-point campaign. The winger kept the offense up in the playoff opener, scoring once in each frame to power the Oilers' offense. Hyman's chemistry with Connor McDavid is quite prevalent, and their continued success figures to play a large role in how far the Oilers go this spring.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Grabs Game 1 win
Skinner stopped 33 of 37 shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 1.
The Oilers jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Kings got on the board, so Skinner's ability to protect the lead was never in question. The 25-year-old went 36-16-5 with a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 59 contests as a full-time starter during the regular season. Skinner will benefit from the offense in front of him, though the Oilers' defensive issues could spell trouble for the netminder down the line. Game 2 is Wednesday in Edmonton.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Slated to start Game 1
Skinner is expected to protect the home net in Game 1 versus the Kings on Monday.
Skinner went 36-16-5 with two shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 59 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. He stopped 117 of 125 shots en route to a 3-1-0 mark against LA during the regular season. The Kings tied for 16th in the league in 2023-24 with 3.10 goals per contest.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Good to go
Janmark (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Kings on Monday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.
Janmark will be good to go after receiving treatment Saturday for an undisclosed issue. He picked up four goals, 12 points and 67 shots on net in 71 contests during the 2023-24 regular season.

Oilers' Evander Kane: Playing against Kings
Kane (abdomen) will be in the lineup versus Los Angeles for Monday's Game 1, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Kane will return to action following a three-game stint on the shelf due to a sports hernia. Despite slotting into a fourth-line role, Kane should still get opportunities with the man advantage. During the regular season, the veteran winger got back over the 20-goal threshold for the fifth time in the last six years with 24 goals and 44 points in 77 contests. He should offer decent offensive upside even in a limited role.

Oilers' Ryan Fanti: Called up from minors
Fanti was promoted from ECHL Fort Wayne on Monday.
Fanti spent the season with Fort Wayne, earning a 9-6-1 record to go with a .915 save percentage and 2.75 GAA in 17 outings. The 24-year-old backstop figures to serve as nothing more than an emergency third option in case something were to happen to Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard.

Kane (abdomen) might be available for Game 1 versus the Kings on Monday, according to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic.
Kane, who has been dealing with a sports hernia, is expected to practice Sunday after skipping Saturday's session. He sat out the final three outings of the regular season due to the injury. Kane produced 24 goals and 44 points in 77 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.
