Adam Henrique returns to lineup, Oilers scratch struggling regular player
Henrique's return moves the odd man out of the lineup.
With Henrique finally being at 100%, he's been called in for game 3. This is fantastic news for the Oilers as they head back to Edmonton for game 3, as they're finally fully healthy. Unfortunately, since Henrique is coming in that does mean someone has to sit out and the decision is one that most Oilers fans would agree with.
McLeod has been bad at times, seems he is often too scared to take the body. You can't have that during the playoffs, or else it can be very detrimental to your team. This is why Knoblauch calls it a reset, as he's most likely going to work with McLeod on how to elevate his game while he remains out.
With McLeod out, it's reported that the lines are going to stay the same when swapping in Henrique. Henrique will center the third line with Foegele and Ryan, while the fourth line stays together. With the introduction of a new player you want to keep lines as similar as possible, because if you move too much around you may throw off the whole team.
This is going to be the best option for the Oilers as they look to take game 3 at home. This game is going to be another very entertaining one and hopefully the Oilers can find a way to break through Dallas' amazing defense to get some pucks by Oettinger.
