The Stars look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, rolling with Oettinger between the pipes in Game 4. The 26-year-old Oettinger was solid in his most recent outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Jets on Sunday in Game 5. He has a 2.71 GAA and .911 SV% through 10 games this postseason (6-4). The Stars enter Tuesday's contest as -150 home favorites against the Jets.
Heiskanen has practiced the past couple of weeks and will finally make his 2024-25 postseason debut on Tuesday in Game 4 against the Winnipeg Jets.

Hellebuyck had a 21-save shutout in Game 2, but responded with a forgetful outing in Game 3, allowing five goals on 26 shots (.808 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, as the Jets fell behind 2-1 in the series. The 31-year-old netminder, a two-time Vezina winner, has struggled in the postseason, showcasing an unimpressive 3.51 GAA and .848 SV% in 10 games (5-5). He has a 2.56 GAA and .918 SV% in 568 career regular season games (322-18-44) but only has a 2.96 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 career postseason games (23-32). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as +135 road underdogs against the Stars.

Ekholm has not played since suffering an injury in mid-April. Some reports suggested that he may be out of the lineup for the entire postseason, but remarks from Oilers' head coach Kris Knoblauch suggest that he may be able to play in the third round. The 34-year-old Ekholm had 33 points (9G / 24A) in 65 games this season.

Hill will make his tenth start of the 2025 NHL Playoffs when the Golden Knights travel to Edmonton for Game 4 on Monday. Hill secured the victory in Game 3, allowing three goals on 20 shots before Reilly Smith netted the game-winning goal with less than a second remaining in regulation. The Golden Knights enter action on Monday at +105 on the money line.
The Caps will unsurprisingly stick with Thompson between the pipes for Game 4 as they look to even up their series with the Hurricanes. Thompson didn't enjoy his best outing in Game 3, allowing four goals on 28 shots in the 4-0 defeat. It was a rare off night in these 2025 Playoffs for Thompson. The 27-year-old netminder has posted a 5-3-0 record and a .922 SV% in eight appearances. The Capitals enter action on Monday at +200 on the money line.
Stone left Game 3 with an upper-body injury but was on the ice for Monday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision for Game 4. Based on the morning skate, it looks very likely that Stone will play, as he skated on the top line and top power-play unit.

Emberson has appeared in all nine playoff games to date, but it looks like he will be replaced by Troy Stecher in the lineup for Game 4. Emberson has not registered a point and has averaged just 9:29 TOI/gm in the playoffs.
Stecher missed the final two games of the regular season with an undisclosed injury and Monday would be his 2025 playoffs debut. He's expected to replace Ty Emberson on the Oilers' blueline.
Arvidsson has appeared in all nine playoff games so far, but it looks like he will be replaced by Kasper Kapanen in Game 4. Arvidsson has registered four points (1G / 3A) in nine games this postseason.
If Kapanen gets into the lineup, it would be his 2025 Playoffs debut. Kapanen was off the ice ahead of Viktor Arvidsson this morning, so expect him to replace Arvidsson on the fourth line. The veteran winger had 13 points (5G / 8A) in 57 games with the Oilers this season.
Raddysh has played in the last two games but it looks like Ryan Leonard will replace him in the lineup for Game 4. Raddysh has just one assist, six shots and 11 hits in six playoff games.
