Henrique scored a goal and added four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Stars in Game 3.
Henrique missed seven games with an ankle injury and returned to a third-line role, playing 13:41 in this contest. He scored a goal late in the second period to tie the game at 3-3, but the Oilers' offense stopped there. Henrique has three points, five shots on net, 26 hits and an even plus-minus rating through seven playoff appearances. He's played in a variety of spots in the Oilers' lineup -- if the team continues to struggle, he may be moved from third-line center to a top-six spot on the wing.

Henrique has missed all but one game this series, but it does sound like he's nearing a return. However, Edmonton is facing elimination in Game 6 on Saturday.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Ruled out Sunday
Rotowire
Henrique (undisclosed) won't play Sunday in Game 3 against Vancouver, Tony Brar of OilersTV reports.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Remains day-to-day
Rotowire
Henrique (lower body) is questionable for Game 2 against Vancouver on Friday, per Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic on Thursday.
Henrique was described as "day-to-day" by coach Kris Knoblauch. The 34-year-old missed Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Vancouver due to the injury. He has a goal and two points in five playoff outings this year. Leon Draisaitl's (undisclosed) status for Friday's contest is also in question, so if Henrique is available, but Draisaitl isn't, then Henrique might slide into the second-line center slot. Connor Brown will likely play if at least one of those two players is out, but he will probably be a healthy scratch if Henrique and Draisaitl are both able to play.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: Dealing with lower-body issue
Rotowire
Henrique wasn't at practice Friday due to a lower-body injury, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Henrique has gone pointless in four straight games while recording a mere two shots to go with 20 hits. The Oilers are not expected to be back in action until Tuesday, so the veteran center should have plenty of time to recover. Still, it will be a situation for fantasy players to monitor heading into the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Oilers' Adam Henrique: One of each in Game 1 win
Rotowire
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.
