Oilers may get another player back from injury in game 2 against Stars
Both teams have huge choices to make with injured players' returns on the horizon.
With game 2 coming up, the Oilers have to be as ready as they can to run with the momentum of their win in game 1. The Oilers being healthy is of utmost importance and it seems like they're one step closer to that, with the revelation that Henrique may end up on the ice for tonight's game.
Despite saying that it's unlikely that Henrique will play tonight, any chance he comes back is more hope for the Oilers to have another great game tonight.
Unfortunately for the Oilers, the Stars' own injured player also has a chance of playing tonight.
Roope Hintz hasn't played since game 4 in the second round with a back injury, but I'd also a game time decision for tonight's contest.
With the two being questionable for tonight's contest, not much will be known until just before the game. These two players are huge factors for their respective team and could change the tide of the game. It's a huge decision to play either one when they're not fully healthy, giving both coaches huge decisions to make.
