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.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Logs helper in loss
Klingberg notched an assist and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Klingberg was activated off long-term injured reserve prior to Game 2 and drew in to play a bottom-four role. He set up a Leon Draisaitl tally in the second period. Klingberg has a history as a scoring defenseman, but injuries have limited him to just 25 games across the last two regular seasons. He had four points, 19 shots on net and 13 blocked shots in 11 outings in 2024-25, and if his defense falters, he may not be an everyday part of the Oilers' lineup.

Oilers' Viktor Arvidsson: Pots goal in loss
Arvidsson scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Arvidsson has six goals over his last 12 contests. That hasn't prevented him from getting shuffled into the bottom six at even strength -- he was listed on the fourth line Wednesday, though he saw a decent 13:04 of ice time. Arvidsson was limited to 27 points in 67 regular-season contests, so he can be more of a middle-six forward by production if he gets enough opportunities.

Oilers' Leon Draisaitl: Lights lamp in Game 2 loss
Draisaitl scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Draisaitl was able to get the Oilers on the board at 13:54 of the second period. After a 6-5 loss in Game 1, Draisaitl was moved up to play with Connor McDavid for this contest, but the usual magic didn't spark this time around. Draisaitl has three points, six shots on net, a plus-3 rating and three hits over two playoff contests. He may still be feeling some after-effects from an undisclosed injury that kept him out of the last seven regular-season games.

Oilers' Calvin Pickard: Surrenders goal in relief outing
Pickard stopped two of three shots in relief of Stuart Skinner in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Pickard allowed a goal to Adrian Kempe immediately after entering the contest, squashing any hopes of the Oilers making a comeback. Stuart Skinner has allowed 11 goals on 58 shots over the first two games of the series, so it's hard to imagine Pickard doing any worse if he gets the start on home ice for Friday's Game 3. However, if the Kings continue to play well, neither Edmonton goalie will be a viable option in fantasy.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Awful again in Game 2
Skinner stopped 23 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kings in Game 2.
Skinner made it about halfway through the third period before he was replaced by Calvin Pickard, who allowed the sixth and final goal against. With 11 goals allowed on 58 shots over two playoff contests, Skinner simply isn't getting the job done. The Oilers have yet to name a starting goalie for Friday's Game 3, but it could go either way at this point, as they can't afford to fall into a 3-0 hole in the series with how leaky they've been at the back.

Oilers' Troy Stecher: Still out Wednesday
Stecher (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 2 versus the Kings, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Stecher will be out of action for the fourth game in a row. With John Klingberg back from long-term injured reserve, there may not be a place for Stecher in the lineup even when he's healthy, though he could push Ty Emberson for playing time.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Back in lineup against Kings
Klingberg (lower body) will be in action for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup with Los Angeles, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Klingberg has played in just one of the Oilers' previous 22 games but will return to the lineup for Game 2. Given his injury history, Klingberg will likely see more limited minutes in the third pairing alongside Jake Walman. With the veteran Klingberg back from injury, Josh Brown will be dropped from the lineup as a healthy scratch.

Oilers' Stuart Skinner: Gets starting nod Wednesday
Skinner will patrol the crease on the road in Game 2 against Los Angeles on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Skinner was shelled in Game 1 to the tune of six goals on 30 shots (.800 save percentage) in a losing effort to the Kings. Despite the tough performance, the 26-year-old netminder will get the start ahead of Calvin Pickard, who went 22-10-1 in his 36 regular-season outings. If Skinner stumbles again, his hold on the No. 1 job should probably be in doubt.

Oilers' Evander Kane: In action Wednesday
Kane (knee) will be in the lineup for Game 2 versus the Kings on Wednesday, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Kane will be in action for the first time since June 10, 2024, due to his long-term knee problem. The 33-year-old winger is poised to take on a top-six role, likely on the second line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Oilers' Olivier Rodrigue: Summoned from AHL
Rodrigue was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Tuesday.
Rodrigue appeared in two games with the Oilers during the 2024-25 regular season, posting a record of 0-1-0 with a 3.10 GAA and an .862 save percentage. He went 18-16-7 with a 3.12 and an .897 save percentage across 41 AHL regular-season outings in 2024-25. Rodrigue will be Edmonton's third goaltender in the playoffs behind Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard.

Oilers' John Klingberg: Could suit up for Game 2
Head coach Kris Knoblauch relayed that Klingberg (lower body) is a "very good possibility" to play in Game 2 against the Kings on Wednesday, according to Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.
Klingberg is still on long-term injured reserve -- the right-shot blueliner missed all but one of the last 21 games of the regular season due to his lower-body injury. If the 32-year-old suits up for Game 2, he'll likely receive sheltered minutes in a third-pairing role considering his long layoff from game action. Klingberg has recorded eight goals and 31 assists over 63 career playoff appearances.

Oilers' Trent Frederic: Registers helper in Game 1 loss
Frederic logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
The Oilers got just one regular-season appearance out of Frederic after acquiring him from the Bruins. That won't matter much if he's able to be impactful in the playoffs, and he's off to a positive start after setting up a Mattias Janmark tally in the third period. Frederic is likely to stay in a bottom-six role throughout the postseason, and that's going to make offense hard to come by on a team as top-heavy as Edmonton.

Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Distributes three helpers in loss
Bouchard notched three assists, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
The Oilers found some success against the Kings' staunch defense, but none of it was on the power play. Bouchard still made an impact with helpers on goals by Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Corey Perry. The 25-year-old Bouchard was scoreless in the last two games of the regular season but had 14 points over the 13 contests before that. Overall, he logged 67 points (26 on the power play), 235 shots on net, 108 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating while playing in all 82 regular-season contests.

Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Pots goal in Game 1 loss
Janmark scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Janmark ended a 30-game goal drought with his tally early in the third period. The 32-year-old forward saw a larger role as the Oilers were banged up late in the regular season, but he was back on the fourth line Monday with the team at nearly full health at forward. Janmark put up 18 points, 51 shots on net and a minus-6 rating over 80 regular-season games, and given his place in the lineup, he likely won't be much of a factor on offense in the postseason.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores in comeback effort
Hyman scored a goal, added six hits and logged two PIM in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Hyman brought the Oilers within a goal with 2:04 left in the third period, and Connor McDavid tied it at 5-5 just 36 seconds later. The Oilers' comeback push ended up being for naught, as the Kings won on a Phillip Danault goal with 42 seconds left in regulation. In any case, it was good to see Hyman healthy enough to play after he missed the last three games of the regular season. The 32-year-old winger should feature in a top-six role and see power-play time after racking up 27 goals and 44 points over 73 regular-season contests.

Oilers' Corey Perry: Goal, assist in Game 1 defeat
Perry recorded a goal, an assist and two hits in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Perry found the back of the net with his lone shot of the game and also showed physicality, although that can be expected considering all the postseason experience the 39-year-old has. Perry isn't likely to be among the go-to scoring options for Edmonton, but he did post solid numbers in the regular season. His 30 points (19 goals, 11 assists) across 81 appearances were his best output since the 2021-22 campaign, when he finished with 40 points in 82 games.
