Stuart Skinner will start vs. Chicago.

After starting seven straight games (6-1-0), Skinner will be rested against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday after serving as the backup to Calvin Pickard in a 4-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Skinner is riding a six-game winning streak and has been tremendous for the Oilers, allowing only 11 total goals over that stretch, posting a .932 SV%. The Oilers have turned their season around as they will look for their eighth straight win as overwhelming -468 home favourites against a Chicago Blackhawks team that has not scored more than three goals in their last seven games (2-4-1).

Travis Dermott (hand) will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Philadelphia.

Dermott joins Sean Durzi (lower-body) as game-time decisions for the Coyotes' blue line ahead of their Thursday night matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. Dermott has not played since November 7th, when he recorded one assist and fired three shots on goal in a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken.

Skinner will start against the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Skinner will make his sixth straight start as he goes for his fifth consecutive win Wednesday as he takes on Carolina at home. The 25-year-old has improved his play of late but still has some ugly season totals with his 8-7-1 record, 3.16 GAA and .881 SV%. He will host the Carolina Hurricanes, who have lost two of their last three games but lead the NHL in shots on goal per game (34.5).

John Klinberg (hip surgery) will undergo season ending hip surgery at the end of the month.

Klingberg was signed to a one-year, $4.125 million contract in the offseason but will have his 2023-24 season cut short due to the hip surgery he will undergo at the end of the month. It is disappointing news for the 31-year-old veteran, whose short Maple Leafs tenure may be over after just 14 games played, five assists, 14 SOG, eight PIMs and a -7 plus/minus.

Stuart Skinner will start Thursday vs. Winnipeg.

Skinner will look for his fourth straight victory as he prepares to be the starting goalie for the Oilers on Thursday. His current stretch marks his second three-winning streak this season, and he has played significantly better as a whole, dating back to the firing of Jay Woodcroft and Jack Campbell being reassigned to the AHL. In his last three games, Skinner has saved 69 of 75 shots (.920 SV%). The Oilers are -114 road favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team that was shutout 2-0 by the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.

Zach Hyman (illness) will return to Edmonton's lineup Thursday vs. Winnipeg.

Hyman did not play on Tuesday due to illness. Evander Kane replaced him on the top powerplay unit, but Hyman will retake his rightful spot there when he returns to action on Thursday. Hyman has been tremendous lately, recording multi-point efforts in three consecutive games, totalling seven points (4G / 3A) and an outrageous 16 shots on goal.

Corey Perry has cleared waivers and his contract is terminated "effective immediately".

Perry's saga as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks is officially over after an unceremonious contract termination. In a statement released by the team, Perry engaged in "unacceptable conduct" that violated his contract and team standards. Perry was amid a somewhat resurgent start to the season, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games.

Hyman (illness) will not play against the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Hyman was a late scratch for Tuesday's game with Edmonton announcing his absence just 30 minutes before puck drop. It's a big loss for the Oilers, as Hyman has been particularly hot of late, racking up four goals and three assists in his last three games. His first chance to return to the lineup will be on Thursday in Winnipeg.

Chicago has placed Corey Perry on unconditional waivers and plan to terminate his contract.

After a somewhat resurgent start to the season, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games, Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks to terminate his contract. In a statement released by the team, Perry engaged in "unacceptable conduct" that violated his contract and team standards. Perry was a healthy scratch in the last three games for the Blackhawks as this situation was unfolding.
