Could the Oilers finally be getting some of their key players back? Head coach Kris Knoblauch did provide some return dates, which seems to be positive.

The Edmonton Oilers will soon welcome a few of their best names back to their lineup, and one new face will make their debut.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch said he's looking forward to the return of Mattias Janmark this weekend, with Jake Walman hopefully back as early as Thursday.
Defenseman Alec Regula is also set to return at the weekend, and the team still expects Zach Hyman to be ready by November 1.
"Knoblauch 'hopes' to have Janmark back for the weekend, Walman back for Thursday, Regula on the weekend, and Nov. 1 still holds for Zach Hyman."

In the midst of a healthier injury situation, newly-acquired Jack Roslovic will debut Tuesday evening vs. the New York Rangers when the Oilers play at Madison Square Garden.
The 28-year-old winger signed a one-year deal worth $1.5 million last week after going unsigned all summer.

Jack Roslovic is Set to Bring Offense to the Oilers by Playing on the Second Line

He skated on the second line Tuesday morning with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Matthew Savoie. Roslovic adds pace, agility, and veteran depth to the Oilers' second-six.
He's the new addition from the Carolina Hurricanes, who posted 22 goals and 39 points, and accumulated 260 points in 526 NHL career games with Winnipeg, Columbus, New York, and Carolina.
With help coming and Roslovic in reserve, Edmonton's lineup is starting to come together at the right moment. A healthier bench and a new face in the mix up front might be exactly what the Oilers require to find a rhythm and ride early-season pace.
