Line Change
Jones will draw back into the Oilers lineup on Thursday.
Byfield was the No.2 overall pick in this year's draft and he's set to make his NHL debut on Wednesday. Byfield, who is expected to centre the third line, scored eight goals with 12 assists (20 points) in 30 AHL games in 2021.
Edler missed the last two games after being suspended for a kneeing incident on Zach Hyman last Sunday. Edler will replace Jalen Chatfield in the lineup.
Edler was handed a five-minute major and game misconduct for kneeing Hyman on Sunday night. Hyman did not return to the game and Edler will miss the next two games due to suspension. This is a huge blow for a Canucks team that is already very shorthanded on the blueline.
