EDMONTON, AB - In a media availability ahead of tonight's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Oilers Head Coach Ken Hitchcock said there would be late scratches to the lineup for goaltender Mikko Koskinen and forward Milan Lucic.
Koskinen, who had started 12-straight games for the Oilers prior to today, came down with the flu and gives way to Anthony Stolarz to make his first start as a member of the Edmonton Oilers. Additionally, Lucic fails to crack the lineup with an undisclosed injury that's hindered the forward for the previous two games.
