Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch is making some significant lineup changes to his roster ahead of tonight's game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars. Three players are hitting the press box, while another three are getting back in the lineup.
According to reporter Daniel Nugent-Brown, Warren Foegele, Sam Carrick, and Vincent Desharnais stayed on the ice after everyone else had left, meaning they are getting scratched for game 4. That means Ryan McLeod, Corey Perry, and Philip Broberg are all very likely to draw back into the lineup.
Game 4 is a huge one for the Edmonton Oilers. Going down 3-1 in the series would make it extremely difficult to come back and win it. It's been done, but the odds are very low. As for the potential changes, it seems many fans are wondering why Cody Ceci hasn't been pulled from the lineup, and why he and Darnell Nurse are still on the same defensive line.
