EDMONTON -- It starts tonight.

All the Edmonton Oilers need to do to keep hope alive is win one game. Yes, they are down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Final. But, it's not over till it's over.
The old hockey cliche is that the fourth game is the hardest one to win. The Oilers will look a little different tonight as they try to stave off elimination.
There is a shake up from top to bottom with the lines. Connor McDavid is centering Zach Hyman and Warren Foegele. Hyman has been attached to McDavid's hip all season, and Foegele has been a solid contributor all playoffs long, despite not having tons of points.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will join Leon Draisaitl and Dylan Holloway on the new look second line. Holloway has done much better in the top six than at the bottom of the lineup.
The third line remains unchanged while Corey Perry joins Derek Ryan and Ryan McLeod to round out the forward ranks.
The defense pairings remain unchanged. Last game the defense pairings played well, despite the end result.
It's do or die tonight for the Oilers.
