Taylor Hall (illness) will not be playing tonight
Linus Omark takes his place on the top line. The Oilers will dress seven defensemen tonight with Theo Peckham drawing back into the lineup.
Taylor Hall is a game-time decision for tonight. Under the weather.
Should he not feel well enough to play in the Battle of Alberta, look for Jeff Petry to draw back into the lineup. Expect a further update on this injury tonight.

As Hall starts Year 2 of his NHL career, the sky’s the limit for the 19-year-old. He had 22 goals and 20 assists in 65 games during his rookie 2010-11 season, scoring his first goal in his eighth game — against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 28.
In his second full season, Hall is expected to score 30 goals and help his Edmonton Oilers avoid being the worst team in the League.
“By the end of the summer, I was getting sick of working out. I just wanted to get back on the ice,” the Edmonton Oilers’ prized pick from the 2010 NHL entry draft said after skating with Sam Gagner and Ales Hemsky during the first on-ice training camp session at Rexall Place.
The former 1st overall pick scored 22 goals in 65 games last season and should be expected to break 30 goals this season.
Hall Gagner Hemsky,
Hall will start on the first line with Hemsky. The former 1st overall pick scored 22 goals in 65 games last season and should be expected to break out this year.
