Jay Woodcroft reveals questionable lineup for tonight's Battle of Alberta
The Edmonton Oilers continue to confuse many by head coach Jay Woodcroft's lineups released for tonight's game against the Calgary Flames.
Woodcroft will be going with
Stuart Skinner in net, which is a great move!
But Woodcroft is also having
Jesse Puljujarvi play on the top line with McDavid and Hyman, quite the odd mix.
Puljujarvi also formerly stated his frustration has came from being too ''under pressure'' playing top line minutes, so he was moved down into the lineup- I guess that's not the case any more.
The Oilers have also moved
Klim Kostin to the third line which is great to see,
Devin Shore remains healthy scratched. Take a look at the full lineups below:
Hyman-McDavid-Puljujarvi
Foegele-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Janmark-RNH-Kostin
Holloway-McLeod-Ryan
Nurse-Ceci
Kulak-Barrie
Niemelainen-Bouchard
Skinner starting in goal
Campbell
Scratched: Hamblin, Shore, Broberg
