The Edmonton Oilers are in for a big test tonight against a talented Colorado Avalanche team, and Coach Knoblauch is loading up his top six once again.
Oilers reunite McDavid and Draisaitl in new lineups to face Colorado Avalanche
According to Oilers reporters at practice, the team has shifted their line combinations to the following:
McDavid and Draisaitl will be playing together again, a dominant duo that’s proven to generate offence against any opponent. Jack Roslovic will get the well-deserved promotion to the top line after scoring 7 points in his last 6 games.Yesterday’s apparent 3rd line of Tomasek, Savoie, and Howard has been shifted down to the new 4th line. Instead, the line of Adam Henrique, Noah Philp, and Trent Frederic will be bumped up.On defence, Alec Regula will finally re-enter the lineup after sustaining an injury early this year. Paired next to Darnell Nurse, they may be playing on a new-look third pairing.In net, Stuart Skinner will get the assignment, and will be looking to prove himself against the high-flying Avs offence.
The Oilers are desperately searching for a lift early this season as they stand with a mediocre 6-5-4 record.
With a game against a top tiered opponent, this is a chance for the Oilers to elevate their game and start curbing out a winning streak.
