He has added six power-play helpers, 35 shots and 11 blocks during that stretch. McDavid has one goal, two points, six shots and two blocks in two outings going into Tuesday's must-win contest.

FLEX/VALUE PLAYS
Sergei Bobrovsky, FLA vs. EDM ($9,800): Bobrovsky has stopped 165 of 181 shots for a .912 save percentage in his last five starts. He has made at least 30 saves in four of five appearances versus the Oilers this playoffs.
Sam Reinhart, FLA vs. EDM ($9,400): Reinhart has heated up, tallying three goals and three assists over his three-game point spree. He has two power-play helpers and nine shots during that span.

Carter Verhaeghe, FLA vs. EDM ($7,400): Verhaeghe's five-game point spree ended in Saturday's victory, and he had only one shot on target, but he's a good bet to return to the scoresheet in Game 6 on Tuesday. He has two goals, five assists and 14 shots in his last six outings.
Corey Perry, EDM at FLA ($6,000): Perry has generated five goals and two assists in his last seven appearances. During that time, he has produced 22 shots and five power-play points (three goals, two assists).
