Viktor Arvidsson has drawn back into the lineup, after being a scratch since Game 3 of the second round. He'll take Connor Brown's spot, who went down to injury after absorbing a huge hit from Alexander Petrovic in Game 3 against Dallas.

Arvidsson has four points in nine games in these playoffs.

Calvin Pickard will be back in uniform after missing the start of the series, but he'll be watching from the bench after Stuart Skinner has re-taken control of the starting netminder's duties after allowing just one goal in the last two games.

Pickard had taken over the starter's role earlier in the playoffs after Skinner struggled, and went 6-0, before going down to injury.

And the status of Mattias Ekholm remains the same: Day to day, and out for Game 4. The Oilers have played surprisingly well defensively without their top defensive blueliner, as he's been out since April 11th.

The Oilers lead the Dallas Stars 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
