The Edmonton Oilers are making a few minor adjustments to their lineup ahead of tonight's Game 4 against the LA Kings. After shelling the Kings to the tune of a 6-1 victory in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead, head coach Kris Knoblauch has opted to make a few minor changes to his forward group. The least surprising is moving Evander Kane up to the second line with Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. This is the first time we've seen that line in practice this postseason, but the trio spent most of Game 3 playing on a line together. 630 CHED's Bob Stauffer had the lines from this morning's ..read more

Trevor Moore and Zach Hyman entered the first-round grudge match between the Kings and Edmonton Oilers as the leading goal-scorers for their clubs, but when they broke into the league with the Toronto Maple Leafs, expectations were much lower. Hyman, 31, was a fifth-round draft pick while Moore, 29, was not selected at all.

Moore sandwiched a 17-goal season, which was his prior career best, between two 10-goal campaigns bef ..read more

Entering the year, promise abounded for the Kings, but now their next home game could be their last. A hyped offseason and auspicious beginning to the campaign gave way to a sinewy season that now teeters two losses from ending the same way it did in each of the past two springs, by being bounced by Edmonton. The Oilers were rude guests on Friday in a 6-1 stomping of the Kings. Edmonton captain Connor McDavid emphasized that it was just one win, and the Kings had no choice but to downplay the disparity on the scoreboard as well ..read more

Meanwhile, Nashville is trying to get something — anything — going offensively in Game 4 after falling behind 2-1 to Vancouver despite outshooting the Canucks 30-12 ..read more
