The Edmonton Oilers took to the ice for practice today with an adjusted lineup after losing Connor McDavid to suspension, where once again, Skinner has been bumped to the fourth line.

Dallas needs Klingberg more than the Oilers. Their other three right-shot D — Matt Dumba, Ilya Lyubushkin and Nils Lundkvist — haven’t scored a goal all season long. He wants to play on a Cup contender and wherever he signs, he’s in audition mode for next season.

Tonight is another key Pacific Division matchup with the Edmonton Oilers taking on the LA Kings. The Oilers sit 2 points up on the Kings for 2nd in the division but LA has two games in hand. A regulation win tonight for the Oilers helps to widen the gap between two teams that once again seem destined for a first round matchup.

Oilers opt for 7 defensemen, scratching Jeff Skinner for Josh Brown. Aiming for defense but risking offensive depth. Controversial move.

This in from Bob Stauffer of the Oilers radio network, the lines from today’s Edmonton Oilers practice that show Jeff Skinner has yet again been bumped down the line-up: Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Arvidsson Hyman-Henrique-Perry Janmark-RNH-Brown J.

After a few weeks of constant line shuffling, the Oilers are icing what could be considered their "regular" lineup tonight as they visit the Canucks in Vancouver.

The difference in the game was great goaltending from Washington’s Logan Thompson — who was strangely left off of the Team Canada roster — and the fact that the Edmonton power play without McDavid was anemic, with not one Grade A shot in three opportunities.

The Edmonton Oilers released a statement regarding Connor McDavid's three-game suspension and it's received a ton of backlash from around the NHL.

In his second year at the helm, head coach Spencer Carbery has transformed the Capitals into a monster. They rank first in goals against (2.43) and second in goals (3.57) per game and boast top-ten special teams on both sides of the puck.
