Wow they are really going through it with the injuries, I guess where they are at though all that matters it trying to get those guys ready for the playoffs. Should be a good game to get Dvo some action.

Will be fun to get another look at Dvorsky. I like loading up the top line, but I don’t think that second line will be very good. I would’ve moved up Bolduc. When we’re healthy I like having him on the third line to balance the lineup but right now I think we need to load up the top six.
 
Oilers lines

Hyman - Henrique - Perry
Podkolzin - Kapanen - Arvidsson
Skinner - Janmark - Brown
Philp - Jones

Nurse - Walman
Kulak - Bouchard
Stecher - Emberson

Pickard
Rodrigue
(Only 19 players due to injuries and cap restraints)
That's a lottery team lineup lol

Their playoff spot isnt clinched yet either although theynhave 2 extra games than us to win 4 points in case calgary wins out, and 2 of theirbgames vs san jose including the last one which i assume mcdavid and draisaitl would return for if they needed to win it.
 
They're going to start Calvin Picard.... We can't let him steal this.

We need to kill tonight. Don't underestimate the Oilers, burn that village down
Honestly, hes been the most solid part of their team since the injuries. I know hes a career journeyman/bum, but hes played well for them and they should consider starting him for playoffs even if stuart skinner is healthy. Its not like skinner is a real #1 goalie you have to stick with.

Agreed. Would prefer to see:

Bolduc-Schenn-Kyrou
Buch-Thomas-Neighbours
Dvo/Joseph-Sunny-Snugg
WTF
 
oilers capped from calling someone up

11/6 line up should tilt the ice to the blues

feels like kapanen finds the net though so 4-1 Blues

Picard is showing hints of 'on-fire Brian Elliott'. Him I am worried about. We need to sink that ship before it leaves the port. If he gets going, it's going to instill a shitload of courage in that lineup.

Snuggy, lead the way and get your first goal, buddy!

I'll be honest, if the Blues can't find a way to beat an Oilers lineup featuring Kasperi Kapanen at #2C, I wouldn't like our chances in the playoffs anyway.

This is the kind of night that he comes out with something crazy like a hat trick. Don't underestimate these people.
 
Didn’t Trent Frederic return the other night? He got hurt again?
Yes, he returned on the 5th and aggravated his ankle sprain on the first shift. Played a few more shifts hobbled, then never returned and sat out next game.

Likewise Draisaitl returned from injury end of march and reinjured himself 3rd game back
