Silovs stopped 14 of 18 shots (.778 SV%) in a 5-4 back-and-forth opening series win over Edmonton and is expected to take the crease again for Game 2 after being the first goalie off the ice. The 23-year-old entered the playoffs as Vancouver's third goalie but has stood on his head when needed most, with his 3-1-0 record, 2.28 GAA and .908 SV%. He will host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 2 on Friday, who have allowed three or more goals in four of their first six playoff contests.

Skinner was solid in the Oilers' five-game opening-round win over Los Angeles, with his 4-1-0 record, 2.59 GAA and .910 SV% and is expected to take the crease for Game 1 on Wednesday vs. Vancouver. The 25-year-old is coming off a regular season where he produced career highs in games played (59), starts (57), wins (36), GAA (2.62) and shutouts (2) and will be looking to take that momentum far into the playoffs. He will host the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, who are coming off a hard-fought seven-game series vs. Nashville.

Silovs was perfect, stopping 28 of 28 shots to close out the Nashville Predators in Game 6 of Vancouver's opening series and is expected to start Game 1 on Wednesday in Edmonton. The 23-year-old entered the playoffs as Vancouver's third goaltender but has locked in the crease under an immense amount of pressure, with his 2-1-0 record, 1.70 GAA and .938 SV% through three playoff appearances so far. He will head to Edmonton to take on the Oilers on Wednesday, who finished off the Los Angeles Kings in five games in their opening-round series.

Silovs gave up two goals on 22 shots in the Canucks loss to the Predators in Game 5. Since coming into the Canucks' crease in Game 4, Silovs has gone 1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .904 SV%. In the regular season and postseason combined, the 23-year-old is 4-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .890 SV%.

Edmonton only ran an optional morning skate ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday but Skinner is expected to start as the Oilers look to close out the series. The 25-year-old netminder has played well in the Oilers opening series, with his 3-1-0 record, 2.48 GAA, .919 SV% and one shutout. He will look to propel Edmonton to the next round as he hosts the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday, who finished the regular season with the 2nd best penalty kill (84.6%) in the NHL.

With Casey DeSmith and Thatcher Demko both unavailable due to injury, Silvos was thrusted into action in Game 4 on Sunday and performed admirably. He stopped 27 of the 30 shots he faced and, thanks to a dramatic hat-trick from Brock Boeser, was able to see Vancouver through to a 4-3 victory in overtime. Silovs and the Canucks enter tonight's action as -120 favourites with a chance to eliminate the Predators.

Brazeau hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury in Nashville on April 2nd but will return to the Bruins' lineup for Game 5 on Tuesday. Brazeau had been a lineup regular for the Bruins leading up to the injury, and had five points (4G / 1A) in his previous six games.

Michael Amadio will draw back into the lineup for the Golden Knights on Monday, making Mantha a healthy scratch. Mantha has zero points, five hits, and five shots while averaging 13:36 time-on-ice through the first three games of the playoffs.

Dewar has picked up one assist in three games to open the series but will come out of the lineup with William Nylander expected to make his series debut. Nicholas Robertson will move down to the fourth line to replace Dewar next to David Kampf and Ryan Reaves.

The Oilers will unsurprisingly turn back to Skinner between the pipes for Game 3 on Friday despite taking the loss in Game 2. Skinner's stat line in Game 2 left a lot to be desired, as he allowed five goals on just 26 shots enroute to a 5-4 overtime defeat. The Oilers' starting netminder now owns a below-average .857 SV% through his first two games of the 2024 post-season. The sportsbooks do like his chances of rebounding on Friday, however, as the Oilers' enter action as -140 favourites over the Kings.

Jones will take a seat on Friday after playing in each of the first two games of the series. His absence makes way for the return of Samuel Girard (concussion).
