The Edmonton Oilers are looking to get back in the win column tonight against the St. Louis Blues. After two crushing defeats at the hands of the Red Wings and Maple Leafs, the boys will look to come out firing on all cylinders to avoid dropping 3 in a row. That said, the Edmonton Oilers have dropped their projected lineup for tonight's bout.
Oilers projected lineup
Leon Draisaitl - Connor McDavid - Corey Perry
Viktor Arvidsson - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Zach Hyman
Vasily Podkolzin - Adam Henrique - Connor Brown
Jeff Skinner - Mattias Janmark - Kasperi Kapanen

Jeff Skinner - Mattias Janmark - Kasperi Kapanen
Scratched: Noah Philp, Troy Stecher
Injured: None
Status report: The Oilers held an optional morning skate Tuesday. Ekholm is probable after missing a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday with an illness and would replace Stecher, a defenseman.
Blues projected lineup
Scratched: Nathan Walker
Injured: Colton Parayko (illness), Nick Leddy (lower body), Torey Krug (ankle)
Status report: Leddy will return after being out since Oct. 15 with a lower-body injury. Tucker, a defenseman, briefly skated in the morning but left and was ruled out Tuesday and doubtful for Thursday. Joseph, a forward, is doubtful and will be replaced by Walker, who was a healthy scratch Sunday for a 2-1 win at the Utah Hockey Club.
