Mikko Koskinen will start in goal for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, Tony Brar of OilersTV reports.
The Oilers have been rotating starts in net between Mike Smith and Koskinen over the past 10 days. Edmonton elected not to trade away prospects or draft picks for an upgrade between the pipes at the deadline. For better or worse, they will have to rely on Smith and Koskinen to get to where they want to go. That destination is not only a playoff berth but to challenge for the Stanley Cup.
Currently, the Oilers sit in third place in the Pacific Division, two points behind the Los Angeles Kings for second.
