Edmonton recalled forward Anton Lander from Bakersfield to slot in as the fourth line winger, with Jujhar Khaira out with an upper-body injury. While there are no updates as to the severity of the ailment, Todd McLellan gave a brief update following Wednesday’s win.
The Oilers will look to stay in the race for the Pacific Division lead Thursday with a Central Division matchup. Edmonton has 8-2-1 record against the Central Division this season. However, they’ve lost six straight matchups against Nashville. A huge reason behind their struggles is the outstanding play of Pekka Rinne between the pipes.
