Oilers Reveal Lineups For Tonight's Matchup and Fans Are Not Too Happy
The Edmonton Oilers are 5-2 throughout their last seven games and are in hopes to stay hot tonight against the Minnesota Wild as they kick off a short two game road trip. The Oilers last game was three days ago and oddly enough it was against the Wild as well, the Oilers took home a dominating 5-2 win, and Connor McDavid extended his goal streak to seven games while Stuart Skinner stayed hot as ever!
Jay Woodcroft made some lineup announcements/adjustments at morning skate and there is a few upset Oilers fans, firstly, let's take a look at the lines for tonight's game:
Oilers in Minnesota:
Line 1 - Draisaitl-McDavid-Hyman
Line 2 - Janmark-RNH-Yamamoto
Line 3 - Holloway-Hamblin-Puljujarvi
Line 4 - Kostin-Shore-Ryan
Extra: Malone
Nurse-Ceci
Kulak-Barrie
Broberg-Bouchard
Extra: Murray
Starting in goal - Skinner
Backup - Campbell
Fans are not too happy with the Oilers decision to keep Kostin on the fourth line, as they truly believe he would benefit the Oilers second line greatly.
