Skinner exited Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets for precautionary reasons and will be ready to suit up on Saturday against the Seattle Kraken. That said, Oilers' head coach Kris Knoblauch did not specify if Skinner or Calvin Pickard would be between the pipes on Saturday.

Oilers' head coach Kris Knoblauch made it clear the team's main priority is having Leon Draisaitl healthy for the playoffs, which could potentially limit his usage down the stretch, and will miss his second consecutive game on Saturday. The 29-year-old Draisaitl is averaging 21:39 time-on-ice and has 101 points (49G / 52A) in 68 games this season. He had a career-high 55 goals in the 2021-22 season. With Connor McDavid also battling an undisclosed injury, the Oilers will be without their top two forward on Saturday and possibly beyond.

Emberson will sit for just the third time this season when the Oilers host Utah on Tuesday. Mattias Ekholm (illness) will rejoin the lineup in his place.

With Zach Hyman (undisclosed) expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Utah Hockey Club, Jones will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old Jones has one point (0G / 1A) and is averaging 9:13 time-on-ice in 12 games this season.

With Mattias Ekholm (illness) returning from a six-game absence, Stecher will be a healthy scratch. The 30-year-old Stecher is averaging 13:44 time-on-ice and has seven points (3G / 4A) in 53 games this season.

Ekholm has missed the previous six games for the Oilers, battling an illness, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 34-year-old Ekholm has 27 points (8G / 19A) in 60 games this season. Troy Stecher will exit the lineup to accommodate Ekholm's return.

Hyman did not play on Sunday and saw limited ice-time in the Oilers' previous game, but will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 32-year-old Hyman is averaging 19:11 time-on-ice and has 37 points (22G / 15A) in 61 games this season. Max Jones will likely exit the lineup to accommodate Hyman's return.

The Oilers are riding a two-game winning streak and will turn to Pickard between the pipes for the second time in the last three games. Pickard was solid in his previous outing, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime win over the New York Islanders. The 32-year-old goalie has a 2.67 GAA and .898 SV% in 25 appearances this season (16-7-0).
