This just in, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch has reportedly confirmed that veteran defenseman Mattias Ekholm will make his return to the lineup this evening when the Oilers take on the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final.
This is how the Oilers are expected to line up this evening:
This is the Oilers' strongest lineup of the entire post-season... it looks to me like they're hungry to end this series against the Stars so that they can move on to a Stanley Cup Final rematch against the Florida Panthers.
