This evening Kris Knoblauch has made a surprising decision as he has switched up the expected forward groups just before game time. This morning the Edmonton Oilers held a practice where they <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/shocking-line-up-shakeup-as-struggling-oilers-winger-gets-stunning-promotion-ahead-of-game-2' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>revealed the expected lines for Game 2.</a> During that skate forward Connor Brown did not partake in practice but after the session Kris Knoblauch confirmed Brown would be in the lineup. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dnbsports/status/1925964317834260558'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> During the morning skate, it was expected that either Skinner or Arvidsson would come in to play in Game 2. <h3>Oilers Make A Last Minute Lineup Change Ahead Of Game 2</h3> However, a new report this evening has revealed that both will be scratched with the Oilers opting for a fourth line of Corey Perry, Mattias Janmark, and Trent Frederic instead. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/oilersaccess/status/1925992321046262109'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs Jeff Skinner has continually been passed over after making his long awaited debut in Game 1 of the first round. Many have been hoping to see Skinner get his chance to shine in the playoffs again despite the underwhelming results from his first attempt. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/cecidrais/status/1925955418913669543'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jasszeto/status/1925998739224690895'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/diegoprbarros/status/1925967857831043119'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Those hoping for Skinner to return will have to wait another game as Knoblauch will turn to the same lineup he has for the last several games in what feels like a must win game. With the Oilers needing a big win today to even the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Stars this lineup for Knoblauch will need to come through. If the Oilers fail to come out with a win, we could then potentially see big changes made for the Oilers ahead of Game 3.
