Coach Knoblauch is reuniting McDavid and Draisaitl on the first line with Corey Perry. The Oilers struggled to generate any chances outside of McDavid and Draisaitl, so going to the nuclear option may be warranted.
Evander Kane will return in the top six alongside Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman in the second line. It looks like it could be a balanced group, capable of scoring and holding off the Kings.
The defence pairings remain the same after a tough night for all pairings at even strength. John Klingberg will replace Josh Brown, but it's possible they have similar ice times.
Skinner needs to have a solid performance tonight, or he could lose the Oilers starter role for now - and potentially alter their offseason plans.
The Oilers depth will have to put up a much better effort in tonight's game to get a split on the road against the Los Angeles Kings, and look to really elevate their game and take a commanding lead back in Edmonton.
