🚨 Corey Perry Over 1.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐

Perry is one of the Oilers' forwards expected to get more opportunities after Zach Hyman suffered a season-ending injury in Game 4. He saw some time on the top line with Connor McDavid after Hyman left Tuesday’s contest, and he responded with his sixth goal of the playoffs, tied for second-most on the team.

Even at 40 years old, Perry continues to be a consistent offensive threat. He’s attempted seven shots over the last two games, hitting the net on four of them, and he’s had six unblocked attempts from high or medium danger areas in the last three.

🚨 Wyatt Johnston Under 0.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

To say Johnston is in a slump would be an understatement. After averaging nearly a point per game during the regular season, the 22-year-old has been held pointless in seven straight postseason games and nine of his last 10.

Worse yet for the Stars, Johnston isn’t showing any signs of breaking out of his funk. He failed to record a shot on goal in Game 4 - the fourth time in six games that he’s had one or fewer shots on net -  and he hasn’t had more than one unblocked attempt from medium or high danger areas in five straight.

🚨 Roope Hintz Under 1.5 shots ⭐⭐

After missing Game 3 with a lower-body injury, Hintz returned to the Dallas lineup on Tuesday. He didn’t look at all like his usual self, however, attempting zero shots in 17 minutes of ice time.

Even prior to the injury, Hintz hadn’t been producing at his typical level. He’s been held without a shot on goal in three of his last four games and managed one or fewer in four of his last five. At this generous plus money price, I’ll bank on those struggles continuing in Game 5.
