The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for a Stanley Cup Final rematch against the Florida Panthers, and insider Tony Brar has come out with some important updates.
As it stands, it appears that head coach Kris Knobluach is sticking with the same formula that emerged victorious against the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
The Edmonton Oilers have won 8 of their last 9, and will be looking to make a statement against the team that shattered their Stanley Cup Dreams.
Injury updates on Evan Bouchard and Viktor Arvidsson
Morning skate is just wrapping up, but defenceman Evan Bouchard did not participate.
Evan Bouchard took a dirty shot from Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman, sending him crashing into the Oilers net and leaving him visibly shaken.
As it stands, it appears that Evan Bouchard will again be a game-time decision, but Tony Bear does indicate that fans could expect a maintenance day.
The Edmonton Oilers received some positive news regarding Viktor Arvidsson.
The Swedish forward was spotted skating with the team this morning, temporarily filling in for Evan Bouchard on the blue line.
Although having Arvidsson back skating with the team is a positive sign, it appears he still needs a little more time before returning to the starting lineup.
Arvidsson has rarely played close to a full season in his 11 year career, so many fans have had the concerns of an injury prone player. However, he also comes with a history of being a consistent offensive player.

On a side note, goaltender Stuart Skinner gets the nod between the pipes today and will look to continue his strong performance in net.
The Edmonton Oilers have the potential to make it 6 wins in a row, moving them into 2nd place in the Pacific Division.
