Edmonton Oilers line combinations, starting goalie, and other things heading into tonight's home game against the Winnipeg Jets.
The Edmonton Oilers are looking to get their second win of the season tonight against the Winnipeg Jets. The 1-3 Oilers will play the Jets at home tonight. And it looks like they will go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen tonight.
It looks like the new lines from yesterday will be used in tonight's game. Dylan Holloway and Derek Ryan will be the extra forwards, with Adam Erne to be a projected healthy scratch.
It also looks like Stuart Skinner will be the starter tonight - something I predicted in my Game Day Preview for the Philadelphia Flyers game earlier in the week.
The 11-7 formation was a successful lineup configuration for the Oilers last season. This will be the first time this season that they have deployed their lineup in this way.
