Jeff Skinner & Troy Stecher will come back in while Stuart Skinner will get the start on Thursday for Edmonton's second half of back-to-back games at Ball Arena against Colorado
Dallas needs Klingberg more than the Oilers. Their other three right-shot D — Matt Dumba, Ilya Lyubushkin and Nils Lundkvist — haven’t scored a goal all season long. He wants to play on a Cup contender and wherever he signs, he’s in audition mode for next season.
The Edmonton Oilers are on the road tonight to face the Chicago Blackhawks, and will be healthy scratching Jeff Skinner and Josh Brown tonight in favour of Derek Ryan and Troy Stecher.
The Oilers depth chart at centre is exceptional, beyond any other team at any other position. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are elite offensive players of the highest order, and this season Draisaitl’s 200-foot game overwhelms opponents.
When the Edmonton Oilers visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night, top free agent acquisition Jeff Skinner will be watching from the press box.
