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.

McCarron scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Game 5.

McCarron's goal at 7:47 of the third period stood as the game-winner. The veteran center has earned two goals, five shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five contests in this first-round playoff series so far. McCarron was bumped up to the third line for Game 5, as Danila Yurov and Nico Sturm came out of the lineup to make room for wingers Mats Zuccarello and Yakov Trenin each returning from upper-body injuries. McCarron's spot in the lineup isn't in jeopardy, but he's firmly a bottom-six forward.

Zuccarello scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Game 5.

Zuccarello missed three games due to an upper-body injury. He made his presence felt early in his return, scoring at 3:51 of the first period to give the Wild an early 1-0 lead. He hadn't scored in his last six games, but he totaled 12 assists in that span and will likely lean more to the playmaking side on offense. Zuccarello had 54 points, including 21 on the power play, over 59 regular-season contests while primarily playing on the top line and first power-play unit.

Boldy scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Stars in Game 5.

Boldy had one goal overturned for goaltender interference, but he got it back by tallying late in the second period. The 25-year-old also set up a Kirill Kaprizov empty-netter. Boldy has amassed four goals, three assists, 28 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-6 rating across five contests in this first-round series so far, and he'll look to add to his totals in Game 6 on Thursday.
