Oilers offer status updates on 4 players, reveal lineup to face Dallas Stars
According to Oilers reporters at practice, Connor Brown and Mattias Ekholm are both officially ruled out of tonight's game. Viktor Arvidsson is expected to replace Brown, and Calvin Pickard will return to backup Skinner.
It's surely disappointing to hear that Mattias Ekholm still isn't cleared to play, but he has to be extremely close. Yesterday, Ekholm himself described his return as imminent, so him playing Game 5 at least seems likely.
I feel really good. I think it's imminent, soon at least. Whether it's tomorrow, the next game or whatever it is, I'm really happy with my body and the way I feel. Really excited about where the team's at and how they're playing.

Oilers full lineup before Game 4 vs Dallas Stars
With the four status updates given by the Oilers, the only real change from their Game 3 lineup will be Arvidsson taking the third line right wing, and Pickard on the bench.
The Oilers have a massive opportunity tonight to jump on the Stars and take a commanding 3-1 Conference Final lead on home ice. If they keep playing at their ceiling they'll certainly get the job done, and be 1 win away from a chance at Stanley again.
