EDMONTON -- Game four is a must win game for the Edmonton Oilers.

The Oilers can't afford to allow the Dallas Stars to build on their Game three victory and walk out of Edmonton up 3-1 in the series. In order to prevent that, the Oilers are rolling out new lines tonight.
Three forward lines and two defense pairings look different during warm ups.
Right now it looks like the top forward unit and top defense pairing are in tact.
Leon Draisaitl, Corey Perry and Ryan McLeod appear to be on a line. Adam Henrique, Evander Kane and Dylan Holloway are projected to be the team's third line. That leaves Derek Ryan, Connor Brown and Mattias Janmark to round out the forward ranks.
It also appears that Brett Kulak will be paired up with Darnell Nurse - with Cody Ceci and Philip Broberg acting as the team's third pairing.
There is no time like the present, and we will see by the end of the night how these changes have faired in the grand scheme of things.
