Oilers make crucial lineup decisions for do or die game tonight

The Edmonton Oilers find themselves on the verge of elimination and now interim head coach Kris Knoblauch is making some changes. First up will be the goaltender as Stuart Skinner will get the start.

This comes after Calvin Pickard started the last game and played well but eventually allowed 3 goals in total. Then comes the complicated mess that is the forward group. Adam Henrique has been out due to injury and some sources say he will be in and that veteran Corey Perry will be sat down due to his struggles.

A different report from Mark Spector indicates also that Corey Perry seems to be the odd man out but that instead, it will be Sam Carrick taking his place.

As of now this divergence in reporting has not been resolved. One thing seems certain and that is that with the season on the line forward Corey Perry will be watching from the press box. His replacement will have to find a way to get into rhythm fast and help keep the Edmonton Oilers season alive.

Puck drop is set for 8pm eastern and we will likely have our answers in warmups if they do not come before then.
