EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Oilers are set to host the Colorado Avalanche in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final on Saturday night at Rogers Place.
Zack Kassian took the morning skate in top-six white and appears poised to join the top line with Evander Kane and Connor McDavid. Leon Draisaitl didn't participate along with Darnell Nurse, but the German is slated to centre the second line between Zach Hyman and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
Kailer Yamamoto was not on the ice after leaving Game 2 following a blindside hit from Gabriel Landeskog in the second period, leaving the door open for Head Coach Jay Woodcroft to revert to the 11 forwards/seven defenceman setup.
