The St. Louis Blues visit the Edmonton Oilers after the Blues beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in a shootout28 MINS AGO • Associated Press
Jake Walman - Nabs first assist since return Walman notched an assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Impact The helper was Walman's first point in three contests since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him 23 games. The 29-year-old was eased in for the first two games, but he saw 21:29 of ice time Saturday. He's likely to fill a bottom-four role but could still be a factor on the power play. For the season, he's at 11 points, 31 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 20 appearances.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Offers pair of helpers Nugent-Hopkins logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Impact Nugent-Hopkins set up both of Kasperi Kapanen's tallies in the contest. The goal drought is up to 11 games for Nugent-Hopkins, but he still has eight helpers and 18 shots on net in that span. The playmaking forward is at 39 points (11 goals, 28 assists), 68 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 40 appearances this season. He'll likely center the second line for the duration of Leon Draisaitl's (personal) absence.

Vasily Podkolzin - Scores in big win Podkolzin scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Impact Podkolzin has two goals and three assists over his last seven outings. He was able to get a little revenge against his former team, scoring the Oilers' last goal in their second-period rampage. Podkolzin is up to 11 goals, 21 points, 71 shots on net, 143 hits, 26 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 49 appearances. He was on the top line while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins moved to center the second line in the absence of Leon Draisaitl (personal), so Podkolzin could have a bit more upside in the short term.

Zach Hyman - Finds twine on power play Hyman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Impact Hyman has four goals and an assist over the last four contests. The winger continues to be a consistent source of goals and shots while playing on the Oilers' top line. He's up to 17 tallies, 28 points (11 on the power play), 90 shots on net, 32 hits and a plus-7 rating across 30 appearances this season.

Kasperi Kapanen - Buries two goals in win Kapanen scored twice on three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Impact Kapanen remained on the second line, working with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins instead of Leon Draisaitl (personal) in this contest. It worked out, as Kapanen earned his second multi-point effort of the season. Growing chemistry with another player could help Kapanen stay productive later in the campaign. He's at three goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances.

Jack Roslovic - Nets two goals in blowout win Roslovic scored twice on four shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Impact Roslovic ignited a six-goal second period at 3:11 of the frame, then added another goal at 14:31. Prior to Saturday, he was in a seven-game point drought. Roslovic has mostly played on the third line recently, though he should pick up a little more power-play time while Leon Draisaitl (personal) is away from the team. Roslovic is at 14 goals, 22 points, 80 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 36 appearances. He has some upside on a strong team, but if he's not playing with a superstar, the 28-year-old's offense could run streaky.
