PHILADELPHIA, PA - Duncan Keith is slated to make his return to the Oilers lineup on a pairing with Evan Bouchard on Tuesday when the Oilers visit the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center.
Keith missed nine games with a concussion he sustained back on Feb. 9 in a 4-1 loss to his former Chicago Blackhawks side of 16 seasons, while Kailer Yamamoto was back on the second line and will be a game-time decision according to Head Coach Jay Woodcroft after being left out of Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Carolina with soreness from a blocked shot he took against the Panthers the afternoon prior.
Forward Brad Malone, recalled from the Bakersfield Condors on Monday, will play in his 200th NHL game on Tuesday night. Mikko Koskinen was in the starter's crease at Tuesday's morning skate and is expected to make his 28th start of the season.
