The Edmonton Oilers have announced a last minute lineup change ahead of game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Florida Panthers.
The Oilers will face off against the Florida Panthers, last season's Stanley Cup finalists, tonight in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. However, the Oilers appear to be making last-minute lineup changes. Sam Carrick and Derek Ryan were absent from a recent practice, suggesting possible adjustments.
TSN reporter Ryan Rishaug attended the practice and posted the Oilers' forward lineup, which included Warren Foegele on the 4th line with Ryan McLeod and Corey Perry. Despite playing only three playoff games this year, Foegele has been an important player, scoring one goal and two assists.
The reported lineup is as follows:
RNH-McD-Hyman
Kane-Drais-Holloway
Janm-Henrique-Brown
Foegele-McL-Perry
Kane-Drais-Holloway
Janm-Henrique-Brown
Foegele-McL-Perry
The Oilers and Panthers will face off at 8:00 PM EST tonight at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. Will this last-minute lineup change impact the Oilers' performance? We'll find out soon.
