Hintz missed Game 3 on Sunday and isn't sure if he'll be available for Game 4 on Tuesday. He participated in an optional skate on Monday and, as he did in Game 3, will likely take part in warmups and see how he feels before a decision is made.
Brown will miss at least one game with the undisclosed injury that forced him to leave Game 3 early. It's unclear who will replace Brown in the lineup on Tuesday, because Mattias Ekholm is a game-time decision and could dress at the seventh defenseman.
Oilers' head coach Kris Knoblauch said that there's a "good possibility" that Pickard suits up as Stuart Skinner's backup in Game 4. Skinner has been great since replacing Pickard in net, going 4-2 with a 1.64 GAA, .936 SV% and three shutouts, so it would likely take an injury for Pickard to get the crease back.
Ekholm has yet to play in the postseason but appears close to making his series debut on Tuesday. With Connor Brown out, Ekholm may suit up as the Oilers' seventh defenseman. Ekholm had 33 points (9G / 24A) in 65 games this season and would be a massive two-way boost for the Oilers.
Mikkola is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Uvis Balinskis will play for the first time since Game 1 vs. Toronto to replace Mikkola on the Panthers' blueline.
Greer is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Nico Sturm will play for the first time since Game 2 vs. Toronto to replace Greer on the Panthers' fourth line.
Chatfield has yet to play in the series and head coach Rod Brind'Amour doesn't expect him to return for Game 4 on Monday. With both Chatfield and Sean Walker not expected to play, Alexander Nikishin And Scott Morrow should remain in the lineup.
Walker missed Game 3 in Florida and head coach Rod Brind'Amour called him "probably" doubtful for Game 4. With Walker and Jalen Chatfield both not expected to play, Alexander Nikishin and Scott Morrow should remain in the lineup on Monday.
Hintz (lower-body) took part in warm-ups but left after a few minutes and will be out for Game 3 in Edmonton on Sunday. The 28-year-old Finnish forward will be replaced by Oskar Back on Dallas' top line and is hopeful to return for Game 4 on Tuesday.
Hintz left Game 2 with a lower-body injury after taking a slash from Darnell Nurse, but was seen walking into the arena without a walking boot and is still a game-time decision. The 28-year-old center has five goals and 11 points in 15 games so far in the playoffs.
Reinhart missed Florida's Game 3 win with a lower-body injury but is only considered day-to-day going forward and has not been ruled out for Game 4 on Monday. The 29-year-old has been replaced by Jesper Boqvist in Florida's top six for the time being but will be welcomed back with open arms if he can go on Monday. After putting up 81 points in 79 games played during the regular season, he has four goals and 11 points in 14 games so far in the playoffs.
Hintz left during Game 2 after getting slashed by Darnell Nurse and did not return. There were no indications whether or not Hintz would be available for Game 3, so consider him a game-time decision.
Chatfield did not take part in the Hurricanes' morning skate, but remains a game-time decision for Game 3 in Florida. Chatfield has been sidelined by an undisclosed injury since Game 4 vs. the Capitals.
Walker suffered an undisclosed injury in Game 2 and will be a game-time decision for Game 3 in Florida. Walker took part in the Hurricanes' morning skate, a good sign that he will be available tonight. Expect Alexander Nikishin to suit up if Walker is ruled out.
Reinhart played just 5:37 in Game 2 before leaving with a lower-body injury. Reinhart was hurt on a hit from Sebastian Aho and is considered day-to-day. Jesper Boqvist will replace him on the top line and Evan Rodrigues is expected to replace him on PP1 for Game 3.
Walker was hurt in Game 2 and was limited to just 9:52 TOI. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour called Walker "iffy" to play in Game 3, so there's a chance Alexander Nikishin gets back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch in Games 1 and 2 vs. the Panthers.
Jarvis left Game 2 with an undisclosed injury but eventually returned to the ice. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Jarvis "should be fine" for Game 3. Jarvis has two assists, four shots and five hits through two games vs. Florida.
Brown did not take part in Friday's morning skate but he'll remain in the lineup for Game 2 in Dallas. Brown played 13:48 TOI after being a game-time decision in Game 1.
