McDavid logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added four shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

McDavid was labeled a game-time decision due to an ankle injury, but there was little doubt he'd play in this contest with the Oilers' season on the line. He did his part, assisting on a pair of Leon Draisaitl tallies to help force Game 6, which is Thursday in Anaheim. McDavid is up to one goal, five helpers, 17 shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over five playoff outings.

Bouchard logged three assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

Bouchard's offense has come alive over the last three games with a goal and six assists in that span. Across five playoff outings, he has added seven shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-4 rating. Bouchard has earned four of his seven playoff points on the power play, where he continues to quarterback the top unit.

Podkolzin scored a goal, doled out seven hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

Podkolzin tallied at 2:22 of the first period to open the scoring. The winger has two goals, three assists, nine shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-6 rating across five games in this first-round series. The 24-year-old's steady offense and strong physical play have made him a reliable second-line winger even with inconsistent power-play usage. Podkolzin will have some intriguing potential in DFS formats as long as he stays in the top six.

Hyman scored a goal, added four PIM, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

Hyman's tally at 8:33 of the first period stood as the game-winner. The winger has scored twice over five contests in this first-round series, providing depth scoring rather than being a leader on offense. He's added 11 shots on net, 20 hits, three blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in the postseason. While the points aren't stacking up yet, Hyman remains in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit.

Draisaitl scored two goals, including one on the power play, and added two PIM and four shots on net in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

Draisaitl's first goal chased Lukas Dostal from the Anaheim net, and his second tally was a quick response to Alex Killorn's goal in the second period. The 30-year-old Draisaitl has three goals, six assists, 12 shots on net, three hits and a minus-1 rating over five games this postseason. He's a lock for massive minutes in the top six as the Oilers look to avoid elimination again Thursday in Game 6.

Ingram stopped 29 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Ducks in Game 5.

The Oilers jumped out to a 3-0 lead midway through the first period, and that was all the help Ingram needed. The 29-year-old was benched for Game 4 after losing his two starts before that while allowing a combined 11 goals on 65 shots in those defeats. With a win to his name, Ingram seems likely to start Game 6 in Anaheim on Thursday as the Oilers look to extend the series again.

Heiskanen scored a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild in Game 5.

Heiskanen has gotten on the scoresheet in all five games in this series, though this was his first multi-point effort since March 12 versus the Oilers. The 26-year-old defenseman has two goals and four helpers, with all but one of those five points coming on the power play. He's added 19 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating while seeing significant top-pairing minutes and ice time in all situations.

Robertson scored a goal on five shots and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild in Game 5.

Robertson has a goal in every game in this series, tallying five times while adding three assists over five contests. The Stars haven't gotten much out of their depth, but their top players have kept it close. In addition to his steady scoring, Robertson has added 28 shots on net, three hits and an even plus-minus rating in the postseason.

Oettinger stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Wild in Game 5. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Oettinger gave up a goal in each frame, and the Stars' offense wasn't accurate enough to compensate for that. He has allowed 16 goals on 159 shots over five games in this series, which the Stars now trail 3-2 with Game 6 set for Thursday in Minnesota. Oettinger doesn't seem at risk of losing his starting role, but he will need to be at his best Thursday to get the series back to Dallas for Game 7, which would be played Saturday, if necessary.

Trenin registered an assist and seven hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Game 5.

Trenin missed the last two games due to an upper-body injury, and he returned in a fourth-line spot. The 29-year-old forward's helper was his first this postseason. He earned eight points over 26 playoff outings prior to this year. Trenin had a strong regular season by his standards, earning 23 points -- one off his career high -- and a personal-best 413 hits across 82 appearances.
