Oilers reportedly making two lineup changes for Game 4 tonight
Pickard out again, plus two other roster changes for Edmonton.
According to a report from long-time Edmonton Oilers insider Jim Matheson, the Oilers could be making a few key lineup changes for Game 4 against the Vegas Golden Knights this evening.
Matheson reports that forward Jeff Skinner could draw in for Viktor Arvidsson and while defenseman Troy Stecher could draw in for Ty Emberson.
From Matheson:
Skinner has played just Game 1 of the Los Angeles Kings series, the first playoff game of his 15 year NHL career. However, Ryan Rishaug reports that Kasperi Kapanen could get the sport on the 4th line over Arvidsson or Skinner.
Here's how Rishaug figures the team will suit up:
LW Hyman - C McDavid - RW Perry
LW Nugent-Hopkins - C Draisaitl - RW Janmark
LW - Kane - C Henrique - RW Brown
LW - Podkolzin - C Frederic - RW J Skinner or Kapanen
D Nurse - D Bouchard
D Walman - Klingberg
D Kulak - D Stecher
G - S. Skinner
G - Ridrigue
Goaltender Stuart Skinner is expected to get the start again this evening, as backup Calvin Pickard is still out with an undisclosed injury.
