Stuart Skinner - Starting in Los Angeles Skinner will defend the road net Sunday in Game 4 against Los Angeles, Oilers play-by-by announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Impact Skinner is coming off a 28-save effort in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings. He has a 1-2 record this postseason, allowing nine goals on 90 shots. Los Angeles has 3.00 goals per game in the first round of the playoffs.

Olivier Rodrigue - Up with Oilers Rodrigue was summoned from AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

Impact Rodrigue posted a 14-14-1 record at the AHL level this season with a 2.77 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 29 appearances. He is slated to serve as Edmonton's third goaltender in the playoffs behind Stuart Skinner and Jack Campbell.

Dylan Holloway - Recalled Sunday Holloway was recalled from AHL Bakersfield in advance of Game 4 against the Kings on Sunday.

Impact Holloway logged three goals and nine points in 51 games with Edmonton this season before he was sent down on Feb. 17. The 21-year-old rookie will likely be a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest though he could be a bottom-six option for the Oilers at some point in the series following an injury to Mattias Janmark (foot).

Mattias Janmark - Out Sunday Janmark (foot) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Kings.

Impact Janmark will miss his third straight game and there's been no update on when the team expects him to return. He can be considered out indefinitely until more information is available.

Zach Hyman - Tallies overtime winner Hyman provided a goal and an assist in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime victory over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact Hyman had his most productive season to date, supplying 36 goals and 83 points in 79 appearances. However, he was limited to just an assist over the first three contests of the playoff series. Not only did Hyman end that slump Sunday, but he was the Oilers' hero by providing the overtime winner. It was his second postseason game-winning goal over 52 career outings.

Leon Draisaitl - Continues to frustrate Kings Draisaitl had two goals and an assist in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact LA has no answer for Draisaitl. Over the first four games of this series, he's collected five goals and nine points. In the Kings' defense, no one had much luck containing Draisaitl during the regular season either, as demonstrated by his 52 goals and 128 points in 80 outings. All three of Draisaitl's points Sunday were recorded during the second period, which allowed Edmonton to erase a 3-0 deficit before the second intermission.

Evander Kane - Supplies goal in Game 4 Kane found the back of the net in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime victory over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact Kane's marker came late in the third frame to tie the contest at 4-4. It was his second goal and third point in four playoff outings this year. That's not at the same level as his seven goals and nine points in seven appearances he recorded during Edmonton's 2022 series against LA, but his recent offensive production is nothing to complain about. He's also been a valuable physical presence with 19 hits in the 2023 postseason.

Connor McDavid - Picks up three assists Sunday McDavid registered three assists in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime win over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact McDavid is on a three-game point streak, providing two goals and six points in that span. The Kings had some initial success against McDavid, but he's only gotten better as the series has progressed. While his first three points of the 2023 playoffs were all recorded on the power play, McDavid had two even-strength assists Sunday. His third helper of the night set up Evander Kane's game-tying goal late in the third period.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Evan Bouchard - Helps Oilers with three-point night Bouchard contributed a goal and two assists in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime victory over the Kings in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact Bouchard extended his scoring streak to seven contests, and has collected four goals and 11 points in that span. That includes two goals and seven points in four playoff outings this year. Bouchard's latest marker was tallied on the power play early in the second period to narrow the Kings' lead to 3-1. He also supplied the lone assist on Zach Hyman's overtime winner.

Jack Campbell - Helps lead Oilers to comeback win Campbell turned aside 27 of 28 shots in relief in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime victory over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact Stuart Skinner got the start but surrendered three goals on 11 shots in the first period. Campbell took over to start the second frame with Edmonton down 3-0, but his strong performance in net helped facilitate the Oilers' comeback. The 31-year-old goaltender posted an ugly 3.41 GAA and .888 save percentage in 36 regular-season appearances, but after his showing in Game 4, combined with Skinner's mixed results in the playoffs, there is a chance that Edmonton will start Campbell on Tuesday.

Stuart Skinner - Chased from Game 4 Skinner allowed three goals on 11 shots before being pulled in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime victory over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.

Impact All three of Skinner's goals came in the first period. Jack Campbell came out for the start of the second frame and was strong in net, allowing Edmonton to fight its way back into the contest. Skinner has struggled in the 2023 playoffs, posting a 3.38 GAA and an .881 save percentage over four outings, so perhaps Campbell will get the start in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Mattias Ekholm - Gets on scoresheet with helper Ekholm notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

Impact Ekholm had the secondary helper on Evander Kane's equalizer with 3:02 left in the third period. The assist was Ekholm's first point in four playoff contests. He had 14 points and a plus-28 rating in 21 regular-season outings with the Oilers after he was traded from the Predators, but he's taken on more of a defensive assignment in the first round. The blueliner has added 15 hits, seven blocked shots, six shots on net and an even plus-minus rating in a top-four role during the postseason.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Helps out with man advantage Nugent-Hopkins logged a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

Impact Nugent-Hopkins set up the second of Leon Draisaitl's tallies, which tied the game at 3-3 late in the second period. The Oilers are making noise with their power play, and Nugent-Hopkins has contributed three helpers with the man advantage through four playoff contests. The 30-year-old forward has added nine shots on net, five hits, two blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-3 rating.
