Oilers Lineup and Starting Goaltender Revealed
After an impressive five-point performance against the Vegas Golden Knights, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will once again join forces with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman on the top line. Meanwhile, Leon Draisaitl, the NHL's second leading scorer, is expected to be flanked by Evander Kane and Kailer Yamamoto on the wings.
During morning skate, Stuart Skinner was in the starters crease, and he is likely to get the start tonight for the Oilers. The 24-year-old will be looking to bounce back from his last matchup against the Los Angeles Kings, where he allowed three power-play goals on 24 shots. Despite the tough outing, Skinner remains a promising young goaltender for the Oilers, and his teammates will be looking to rally behind him as they take on the Kings once again.
