Luke Glendening - Snaps nine-game goal droughtGlendening found the back of the net in Dallas' 5-1 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 on Friday.

ImpactGlendening recorded just one point (an assist) over his previous nine contests. His marker came early in the second period to reduce Minnesota's lead to 2-1, but the Stars failed to close the gap any further. Glendening has four goals and six points in 26 career playoff outings.

Joel Eriksson Ek - Leaves with injuryEriksson Ek (undisclosed) left Friday's game against Dallas and did not return, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

ImpactAfter returning from a six-game absence, Eriksson Ek took just one shift before exiting Friday's contest. The injury is likely related to the lower-body issue that cost him time already. An update on his status should be available before Game 4 on Sunday.

Jake Oettinger - Struggles against WildOettinger stopped 20 of 24 shots in a 5-1 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 on Friday.

ImpactOettinger was amazing in the regular season, posting a 37-11-11 record, 2.37 GAA and .919 save percentage in 62 appearances, but he hasn't lived up to expectations in the first round. He's surrendered 10 goals on 98 shots over the last three playoff contests and Dallas is now trailing 2-1 in its series against the Wild. Still, given how important Oettinger was in getting Dallas to the postseason in the first place, it wouldn't be surprising to see him continue to start over Scott Wedgewood when the series resumes Sunday.

Mats Zuccarello - Supplies two markers vs. DallasZuccarello provided two goals in Minnesota's 5-1 victory over Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

ImpactZuccarello is up to two goals and four points in three playoff contests this year. He also contributed 22 markers and 67 points in 78 regular-season outings. Zuccarello should continue to be a key part of Minnesota's offense while serving on the first line and top power-play unit.

Marcus Foligno - Nets goal FridayFoligno found the back of the net in a 5-1 victory over Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

ImpactFoligno brought an end to a 12-game goal drought, during which he registered just an assist. He finished the regular season with seven goals and 21 points in 65 appearances. Foligno logged 17:37 of ice time Friday, which was up from 13:48 on Wednesday. His increased responsibilities might have been partially due to Joel Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) exiting the game after logging just 19 seconds, which forced Minnesota to play almost the entire contest with just 11 forwards.

Ryan Hartman - Gets three points in returnHartman (lower body) collected a goal and two assists in the Wild's 5-1 victory over Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

ImpactHartman rejoined the lineup after missing Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Stars because of the injury. He logged 18:02 of ice time in his return, including 2:21 with the man advantage. During the 2022-23 campaign, Hartman supplied 15 goals and 37 points in 59 appearances.

ImpactJohansson's marker put Minnesota up 2-0 early in the second period, and it proved to be the game-winner. He's found the back of the net in two straight games and has four goals and seven points over his last seven outings. Johansson contributed 19 goals and 46 points in 80 regular-season contests.
