Janmark logged an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

Janmark finished the first round with three points over six games, which is decent work given his bottom-six role. He's added five shots on net, seven hits, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating. Janmark is a lock to stay in the lineup thanks to his defensive work, and he'll get to face one of his former teams, the Golden Knights, in the second round.

McDavid notched an assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

McDavid was limited to a single assist in each of the last two games of this first-round series. It didn't matter as much, as the Oilers got contributions from their depth players. McDavid finished the first round with two goals, nine assists, 23 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-5 rating over six appearances. He'll turn his attention to preparing for the second-round series versus the Golden Knights.

Henrique scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

Henrique tied the game at 1-1 early in the first period with his first goal since April 13 versus the Jets. The center finished the first round of the playoffs with two points, 13 shots on net, 24 hits, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over six appearances. Henrique continues to play in a third-line role, where he can add a little depth scoring and solid non-scoring production.

Frederic scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

Frederic was one of five Oilers to put up multiple points in Thursday's series-clinching win. The 27-year-old has handled a third-line role since the start of the playoffs. He's picked up three points, eight shots on net, 19 hits and an even plus-minus rating over six appearances. He'll face a team other than the Kings in the playoffs for the first time as an Oiler when the second-round series versus the Golden Knights begins.

Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

Nugent-Hopkins' offense came back as the Oilers woke up in this series. He was scoreless in the first two games, then put up three goals and two helpers over the final four contests to help send Edmonton into a second-round matchup versus Vegas. The 32-year-old has added 12 shots on net, five blocked shots, four hits and an even plus-minus rating over six playoff outings.

Hyman scored a goal on two shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and doled out seven hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

Hyman earned his second multi-point effort of the playoffs during a frenetic first period. He's collected two goals, three assists, 14 shots on net, 43 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over six playoff contests. The Oilers loaded up their top line late in the first round, which gave the rest of the forwards more favorable matchups. Hyman may begin the second round versus the Golden Knights in a second-line role.

Brown scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two assists and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.

Brown set up goals by linemates Adam Henrique and Trent Frederic, then finished the scoring with a buzzer-beating empty-netter to fend off the Kings' late push. Brown produced five points 10 shots on net, five hits and a plus-2 rating over six contests in the first round. He's still filling a depth role, and with the Oilers finding success with their current line combinations, it's unlikely Brown gets moved around to start the second round against the Golden Knights.

Johnston registered a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-5 rating in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche in Game 6.

This wasn't a great overall performance for Johnston, but he was able to get on the scoresheet by helping out on a Roope Hintz goal early in the second period. The 21-year-old Johnston is up to six points, including three on the power play, over six playoff contests. He's added 14 shots on net, six hits, three blocked shots and a minus-7 rating. While he is listed on the third line, Johnston does enough in all situations to functionally work as a top-six forward.

Granlund scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Avalanche in Game 6.

Granlund ended a nine-game goal drought with his second-period tally. The 33-year-old forward has looked better on a line with Roope Hintz and Mikko Rantanen, but Granlund's still been quiet on offense this postseason. He's earned two points, six shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over six playoff contests.

Nelson registered two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Stars in Game 6.

Nelson helped out on both of Valeri Nichushkin's tallies in the contest. This was Nelson's second two-assist game of the series, both of which have come in Denver -- he's been held off the scoresheet in three games in Dallas. The 33-year-old center has four helpers, 11 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over six playoff outings.
