Perry is expected to draw back into the Oilers' lineup for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday.

Perry was a healthy scratch for Game 2 on Monday as he was replaced by Warren Foegele but is expected to draw back into the OIlers' lineup for Game 3 on Thursday. The Oilers have not yet announced who the 39-year-old will replace in Edmonton's lineup. Through 14 playoff games played, he has no goals, one assist, 11 SOG, eight PIMs and a -3 plus/minus while averaging just 11:03 TOI/GP.

Kane (undisclosed) is undecided on whether he will be able to suit up for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday.

Head Coach Kris Knoblauch said Edmonton is undecided on whether Kane will play in Game 3 after he missed the majority of the Oilers' practice on Wednesday. The 32-year-old is clearly battling injuries as he has been unable to sit while on the bench and only has one point in his previous nine games played.

Skinner will start Game 2 on Monday vs. Florida.

Skinner allowed two goals on 17 shots against (.882 SVA%) in the Oilers' Game 1 loss to Florida but is expected to take the crease again on Monday as Edmonton looks to even up the Stanley Cup Finals. The 25-year-old Edmonton native has endured an up-and-down playoff run, with his 11-6-0 record, .897 SV% and 2.47 GAA. He will look to even up the series in a tough battle on Monday in Florida, who is looking to extend their current four-game win streak.

Kane (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday before Game 2 but has stated he will play.

Kane did not participate in the Oilers' morning skate on Monday ahead of Game 2 which led to some speculation that he may not dress but he has come out himself and stated "I will play". The 32-year-old bruising winger has been battling an undisclosed injury as of late which has led to him only producing one point in his previous eight playoff appearances.

Ryan is expected to be back in the lineup for Game 6.

Ryan was a healthy scratch in Game 5 but it looks like he could replace Sam Carrick in the lineup for Game 6. Carrick remained on the ice with the scratches during Sunday's morning skate, an indication that he's coming out of the lineup, although no changes were confirmed by head coach Kris Knoblauch.

Ryan is expected to be a healthy scratch for Game 5 on Friday vs. Dallas.

Ryan has appeared in all four games of the Western Conference final but will head to the press box on Friday as he is replaced by Sam Carrick in the Oilers' lineup for Game 5. The 37-year-old veteran centre has failed to produce offensively in 13 games played so far, with one assist, eight SOG, six PIMs and a -5 plus/minus.

Skinner will start Game 5 on Friday vs. Dallas.

Skinner bounced back nicely in Game 4 to get Edmonton back in the win column with a 20-save performance (.909 SV%) and will take the crease Friday for Game 5 as expected. The 25-year-old Alberta native will appear in his 27th career playoff game Friday and has a less-than-stellar 9-5-0 record, 2.71 GAA and .887 SV% in 14 games in this year's playoffs. He will head to Texas to take on Dallas on Friday, who will be looking to get back into the win column and pick up their third victory in the last four games.

Perry is expected to draw back into the Oilers' lineup for Game 4 on Wednesday vs. Dallas.

Perry has been a healthy scratch for Edmonton's previous five games but is expected to draw back into the lineup on Wednesday for Game 4 as he replaces Warren Foegele. The 39-year-old was acquired mid-season by Edmonton but has yet to pick up a playoff point in 10 games played this postseason.

Skinner will start Game 4 on Wednesday vs. Dallas.

Skinner allowed four goals on 21 shots in a second-straight loss in Game 3 but has the coaches' confidence heading into Game 4 on Wednesday as Kris Knoblauch announced he would be starting Edmonton's crucial Game 4. The 25-year-old Edmonton native has struggled to put together consistent strong performances in the playoffs this year, resulting in his 8-5-0 record, 2.76 GAA and .885 SV%. He will host the Dallas Stars on Wednesday for Game 4, who have been on a role lately having won six of their last nine playoff games.
