Oilers Lineup Tonight vs Chicago Blackhawks

The Edmonton Oilers will take their 20-15-1 record in to their match-up against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. The Blackhawks most recently defeated the Calgary Flames 4-3 with a roster worth less than $14-million.

The Oilers will look to make it eight-wins in a row tonight with a lineup that is largely the same as it was in Edmonton on Saturday night. There will be one minor change:

Connor Brown and Mattias Janmark have swapped lines. Hopefully playing with Evander Kane can help give Brown and boost and give him the offensive boost he needs to start collecting points.

The starter for tonight's game appears to be Stuart Skinner once again. With the Oilers playing (almost) every second day Calvin Pickard will be hard pressed to get another start during the January. Skinner has a record of 16-9-1 to go with a 2.76 goals against average (GAA) and a .898 save percentage (SV%).

The Blackhawks have several players either injured or on IR. As a result, these are the line combinations for tonight's game.

It looks like Petr Mrazek will be the starting goalie for the Blackhawks. He is 10-13-1 this season with a 3.26 GAA and a .903 SV%. 

Game time will be 6:30 PM Mountain Time. You can watch the game on Sportsnet channels.
