The Edmonton Oilers will get a player back from injury for Saturday's game.

The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for another game on Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The team hit the ice for practice on Friday with some new forward lines.

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl remain separated. Draisaitl will continue to center Evander Kane and Zach Hyman. Ryan McLeod will center Derek Ryan and Warren Foegele.

The biggest changes come with the first and fourth lines. Connor Brown was spotted on McDavid's right wing with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins flanking his left side.

With that adjustment comes Sam Gagner moving to the fourth line - where he rotated along with Raphael Lavoie. James Hamblin and Adam Erne occupy the other positions on the fourth line.

It appears as though Brown is ready to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Lightning. This will be his first game since November 2nd, when he left the game early against the Dallas Stars because of the injury.

Saturday's game begins at 2PM Mountain Time.
