Edmonton Oilers get 2 players back from injury at practice, test new lines<\/p>\n
While Nuge and Kapanen got back on the ice, they weren’t rotated in to the group’s main line combinations just yet. For the most part the two skated as a 5th line, indicating they won’t play the Oilers next game tomorrow vs. Dallas.<\/p>\n
However there was some hint of where they might play when both players are cleared to return.<\/p>\n
According to reporters at practice, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins rotated in on the first line in place of Matthew Savoie<\/a>, and Kapanen took reps on the third line as well. Trent Frederic<\/a> would be the player most likely to be demoted from the 3rd line.Jake Walman<\/a> is still off the ice entirely, and there’s no definitive date set for his return.<\/p>\n UPDATE: Speaking to reporters after practice, Oilers coach Knoblauch confirmed Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is questionable for tomorrow’s game, while providing an update on the rest of their injuries.<\/p>\n Savoie had a solid run of play with the top line, but still just didn’t produce enough offence to keep the spot locked down. His 200-foot game has earned some trust by the coach, but Savoie is still kept to an ice time average of 14:51, and he’s only got 6 points this season. He should be bumped down the lineup, but he’ll continue to improve.<\/p>\n Getting this roster fully healthy will be a major boost to their forward depth, and could potentially help with their struggles to generate 5v5 offence. The next few games need to be turning point for the Oilers season.<\/p>\n Previously on Oilers Daily<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 11 HOURS AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0167 ANSWERS<\/p>\n Edmonton Oilers get 2 injured players back at practice, testing new lines<\/p>\n Do you think getting these injured players back will be a turning point for the Oilers season?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tOILERSDAILY.COM
