At 6 PM Mountain time, Game two will begin. Game one was massively entertaining - which bodes well for fans of both clubs.
If all goes as expected, the Oilers will ice the same lineup for tonight's game. However there is a small catch - Adam Henrique is expected to skate for warm ups tonight.
So there is a chance - however small - that Henrique will play tonight.
The Oilers have played their last six playoff games with their top trade deadline acquisition. An injury has kept him out - and the Oilers hope they can get him to 100% before returning to game action.

Kris Knoblauch will make a decision on his status after warm ups - leaving this roster choice to come down to the literal wire. Either way there isn't a reason for Oilers' fans to be nervous about the lineup.
No matter what the lineup is for the Oilers tonight, they will need to play exactly how they have for the last three playoff games. All three of their last games they have dominated the pace of play, limited high danger chances and come out with a win.
Stuart Skinner will get the start for tonight's game, looking to build on his incredible return to form since taking a break for two games.
