Oettinger allowed three goals on 25 shots in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Oilers in Game 2.

The Stars didn't take good care of the puck, as they were charged with 27 giveaways in the contest. Oettinger wasn't at his best either, but it's not fair to fault the goaltender when the offense fails to put up a goal. The 26-year-old has now taken a loss after each of the last three instances in which he's won consecutive games this postseason. Despite the hiccup in Game 2, Oettinger will likely get the nod in Sunday's Game 3.

Hintz suffered an apparent lower leg or ankle injury in Friday's Game 2 versus the Oilers, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Hintz was slashed near the top of his skate by Darnell Nurse in the third period, and the Dallas center needed help off the ice. The 28-year-old's status is in question for Sunday's Game 3 in Edmonton. If Hintz can't play, Wyatt Johnston would likely ascend to a top-six role while Oscar Back would draw back into the lineup on the fourth line.

Oettinger will protect the home goal versus the Oilers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Oettinger stopped 24 of 27 shots in Wednesday's Game 1, and he has now won four of his last five games. He has a 2.01 GAA and a .930 save percentage in that span. The Stars were sloppy early in Game 1, so Oettinger will need to be sharp if they go through another lull.

Skinner will patrol the visiting crease for Game 2 in Dallas on Friday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Skinner gave up five goals on 27 shots in Game 1 on Wednesday after recording back-to-back shutouts in the final pair of games versus Vegas in the second round. The 26-year-old is 2-4 with a 3.39 GAA and an .872 save percentage across six playoff appearances in 2025. The netminder was 1-2-0 during the regular season versus Dallas, allowing 11 goals on 69 shots. The Stars have generated 2.86 goals per game over 14 playoff contests.

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that Jarvis (undisclosed) is fine and should be ready to play in Florida on Saturday for Game 3, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Jarvis left Thursday's game briefly in the third period, but he returned to action before the end of the contest. Jarvis has four goals and 12 points in 12 games during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Walker (undisclosed) is questionable for Game 3 in Florida on Saturday, according to Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.

Walker was injured in Game 2 on Thursday. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that Walker was "better than he thought he would be" and is considered iffy for Game 3. Should Walker be unavailable, look for Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) or Alexander Nikishin to enter the lineup.

Per Michael Russo of The Athletic, Reinhart (lower body) will see doctors Friday and his status for Game 3 versus Carolina will be updated Saturday, according to head coach Paul Maurice.

Reinhart left Thursday's tilt in Carolina after taking a hip check from Sebastian Aho in the opening stanza. He played one more shift late in the period and did not return. Reinhart was replaced on the top line by Tomas Nosek, and Nosek could see plenty of time on the top line with Aleksander Barkov and Evan Rodrigues should Reinhart sit out Game 3 in Florida. Reinhart has four goals and seven assists across 14 playoff appearances.

Barkov put up a power-play goal in a 5-0 win over Carolina in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday.

Barkov's goal put the kitties up 5-0 in the third. He redirected Aaron Ekblad's wrist shot from the right point past Pyotr Kochetkov. It was his fourth goal and 12th point of the postseason (14 games). That total puts Barkov one point behind a trio of teammates (Carter Verhaeghe, Sam Bennett and Eetu Luostarinen) for the team lead in the postseason.

Rodrigues had two assists in a 5-0 victory over the Hurricanes on Thursday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Both came on the power play. Rodrigues has eight assists, including three with the man advantage, and 19 shots in 12 games this postseason. All three of those power-play points have come against the Canes.

Ekblad had two assists in a 5-0 win over Carolina in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday.

Ekblad has three points (one goal, two assists) in two games this series, and he has nine points overall, including three goals, and 24 shots in 10 games. That's Ekblad's best offensive output of any postseason of his career. He had one goal and five assists in 24 games in last season's Cup run.
