LOS ANGELES, CA - The Edmonton Oilers look to stave off elimination on Thursday night when they take to the ice at Crypto.com Arena for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Kings.
The Dynamic Duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were paired up on the top line with Kailer Yamamoto. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins practiced at the morning skate in top-six white between Evander Kane and Zach Hyman on the second line.
With the one-game suspension to defenceman Darnell Nurse, Brett Kulak filled his role in the top defensive pairing with Cody Ceci. Kris Russell is expected to suit up and play alongside Tyson Barrie.

Draisaitl - McDavid - Yamamoto
Kane - Nugent-Hopkins - Hyman
Archibald - McLeod - Puljujarvi
Foegele - Ryan - Kassian
Kulak - Ceci
