John Klingberg - Manages assist in Game 5 Klingberg posted an assist, five shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Klingberg has racked up two assists, nine shots on net, five hits, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over four playoff appearances. The 32-year-old is seeing top-four minutes but just traces of power-play time for the Oilers. Klingberg has a good track record on offense, but he can be a defensive liability, so it wouldn't be surprising if Edmonton limited his usage later in the postseason.

Vasily Podkolzin - Adds assist in win Podkolzin notched an assist and six hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Podkolzin has picked up a helper in three of the last four contests. Despite his success on offense, he has seen less than 10 minutes of ice time in three of those games, including a playoff-low 7:20 in Tuesday's win. The winger has added two shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-2 rating over five postseason appearances.

Viktor Arvidsson - Hands out helper in win Arvidsson notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Arvidsson generated a rebound for Mattias Janmark to bury for the go-ahead goal at 7:12 of the third period. While Arvidsson was listed on the second line Tuesday, he saw just 8:25 of ice time, his lowest total this postseason. The winger has two points, 11 shots on net, three hits and a plus-1 rating over five playoff contests.

Leon Draisaitl - Garners assist in Game 5 win Draisaitl notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Draisaitl helped out on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' empty-netter in the third period. The 29-year-old Draisaitl has yet to be held off the scoresheet this postseason, earning three goals and seven assists over five games. The superstar center has added 15 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-6 rating.

Connor McDavid - Sets up empty-netter McDavid notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact McDavid has two goals and eight assists over five playoff contests. The center set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for the empty-netter to seal the win that put the Oilers ahead 3-2 in the series. McDavid will look to keep the offense rolling on home ice in Thursday's Game 6 with a chance to book a ticket to the second round.

Mattias Janmark - Buries go-ahead goal Janmark scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Janmark has scored twice over five playoff contests, matching his goal total from 80 regular-season appearances. The defensive forward has added five shots on net, six hits, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating this postseason. While he's providing a little depth scoring, its unlikely to be a consistent part of his production as long as he's playing on the fourth line.

Evander Kane - Finds twine Tuesday Kane scored a goal on five shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Kane tied the game at 1-1 shortly after Andrei Kuzmenko opened the scoring for the Kings. The 33-year-old Kane has three points, 14 shots on net, 17 hits and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff contests. He's been in fine form since making his debut in Game 2 after missing the whole regular season and the postseason opener. Still, Kane is on the third line and can't be relied on for consistent offense as long as he's in that role.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Fills empty cage Nugent-Hopkins scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Nugent-Hopkins has gotten on the scoresheet in all three of the Oilers' wins in this first-round series. He has two goals, one assist, 10 shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five playoff contests. He remains firmly in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit, so he should be a decent source of scoring.

Calvin Pickard - Wins third straight game Pickard stopped 21 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Kings in Game 5.
Impact Pickard gave up just a power-play goal by Andrei Kuzmenko in the second period, which was quickly answered by Evander Kane. The 33-year-old Pickard has helped the Oilers flip a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead in the series, putting them in the driver's seat heading into Game 6 on Thursday. Pickard is a virtual lock to start that contest considering he has all the momentum on his side.
