Podkolzin scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Podkolzin has scored twice over three games in April. The 24-year-old continues to be effective in a top-six role for the Oilers, offering some scoring upside in addition to his physical play. He's now at 18 goals, 35 points, 130 shots on net, 229 hits, 46 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 78 appearances.

McDavid scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

McDavid saw a six-game point streak snapped in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights. He bounced back in his contest, but his performance wasn't enough for the Oilers to hold off the Mammoth in what could be a first-round matchup in a couple of weeks. McDavid is at 44 goals, 128 points, 289 shots on net, a plus-14 rating, 38 PIM, 39 hits and 29 blocked shots through 78 appearances this season, well within striking range of earning 130-plus points for the third time in four years. He's also one power-play point away from 50, which is a mark he's reached just once previously in his career.

Jarry allowed six goals on 31 shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Jarry played for the second time in three games, but he wasn't able to deliver a good performance. He had won the Oilers' previous trip to Utah with a 16-save effort March 24. The 30-year-old netminder's inconsistency has left him stuck in the backup role. Jarry is now 18-9-3 with a 3.35 GAA and an .882 save percentage over 32 appearances between the Oilers and the Penguins this season. Look for Connor Ingram to get the nod Wednesday in San Jose.

Carcone notched two assists and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Carcone helped out on JJ Peterka's opening goal at 1:53 of the first period as well as Alex Kerfoot's equalizer in the third. The 29-year-old Carcone is filling a third-line role currently, chipping in four points over his last six outings. He's achieved the first 30-point mark campaign of his career (15 goals, 15 assists) while adding 140 shots on net, 140 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 74 appearances.

Durzi notched two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Durzi has five helpers over his last eight outings, but this was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 27 versus the Panthers. The 27-year-old blueliner has mostly played in a bottom-four role lately, though he has seen some time on the second power-play unit as well. He's at 27 points, 74 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 50 PIM, 38 hits and a minus-11 rating over 56 appearances.

Guenther logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added four shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Guenther had a hand in goals by Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller, with the latter's tally coming on the power play in overtime. This was the fourth multi-point effort during Guenther's five-game point streak, in which he's racked up four goals and six assists. His shot remains his best asset, but he hasn't been a slouch in the playmaking department, posting 38 goals, 31 assists, 233 shots on net, 61 hits and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances this season.

Peterka scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Peterka opened the scoring just 1:53 into the game, though the Mammoth gave the early lead away just 11 seconds later. The 24-year-old winger has three points over his last four outings while continuing to fill a middle-six role. He's up to 24 goals, 45 points, 148 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 77 appearances. Peterka hasn't found the same quality of opportunities in his first year in Utah as he did over the previous two seasons in Buffalo, leading to a decline in offense.

Cooley scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Cooley's point streak is up to five games (six goals, three assists) after his second-period tally Tuesday. The 21-year-old center is up to 23 goals, 39 points, 95 shots on net, 51 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 49 appearances. While a lengthy lower-body injury cost him 28 games earlier in the season, Cooley has been strong when in the lineup, mainly in a second-line role with power-play time.

Kerfoot scored a goal and added a shorthanded assist in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Kerfoot is poised for extra ice time late in the season as long as the Mammoth are missing Barrett Hayton (upper body) and Jack McBain (lower body). The Mammoth also opted for 11 forwards and seven defensemen in the lineup Tuesday, allowing Kerfoot to see 17:04 of ice time from a third-line role. The 31-year-old is a versatile and reliable forward who can move around the lineup with ease. He's been limited by injuries this season, picking up 12 points, 25 shots on net, 25 hits, 23 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 29 appearances.

Keller scored a power-play goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Oilers.

Keller reached the 80-point mark on the season with this effort. He set up a Nick Schmaltz goal midway through the second period and then cashed in on a power play 33 seconds into the extra session. Keller has been as expected in a top-line role with 26 goals, including a career-best six game-winners, 54 assists, 218 shots on net, 32 PIM and a plus-22 rating through 77 appearances.
