#3 Evander Kane

Evander Kane continues to be a crucial piece of the Edmonton Oilers’ success this postseason. The winger, who missed the regular season, has come on strong in the postseason, showing why he’s still a force to be reckoned with.

The goal provided some extra insurance for the Oilers as they held on for the win. Kane ended the night with a goal and an assist.

#2 Adam Henrique

Adam Henrique has been an unsung hero for the Edmonton Oilers during the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs. He’s provided solid two-way play from the team’s bottom six while scoring when needed.

In Game 4, Henrique was the big hero, scoring twice to get the game-winner for the Oilers. Here’s a look at Henrique’s first tally:

The goal came early in the first period, setting up the Oilers for a strong outing. Now, here’s a look at Henrique’s second of the night:

Henrique struck again near the end of the first period, putting the Oilers up 2-0. That’s all the offense Edmonton would need to claim their third win in the series.

#1 Stuart Skinner

Stuart Skinner regained the starting job only because Calvin Pickard sustained an injury in Game 2 against Vegas. Skinner returned for the Game 3 to mixed reviews in the Oilers’ loss.

But in Game 4, Skinner was sharp, turning aside all 23 shots he faced. While he didn’t have to stand on his head, Skinner got the job done. He provided the Oilers with the goaltending they’ve needed from him this postseason.

The Oilers will be looking to wrap up their series on Wednesday night in Vegas. While the Golden Knights aren’t expected to go away quietly, the Oilers will have a chance to be the first team to qualify for the third round of the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs.
