The Oilers are going to be without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as he's dealing with an injury; Stuart Skinner starts in goal, and Kris Knoblauch called out Trent Frederic.

The struggling Oilers are set to take on the Blue Jackets tonight, and there were quite a lot of updates that were provided by head coach Kris Knoblauch.
For starters, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is out at least a week. He will go on injured reserve, and Mattias Janmark will play tonight in his place.
Nugent-Hopkins logged only 14:50 of ice time in Saturday's 9-1 blowout loss to Colorado. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup, but we know it will be at least one week or more.
He has collected six goals, 16 points, and 23 shots on net across 16 games this season.

Despite getting the yank, Stuart Skinner will once again be the starting goalie tonight

Cutris Lazar will also come in and replace David Tomasek tonight. Stuart Skinner will get the start in goal despite getting pulled against the Avalanche.
Following those updates, Knoblauch went on to publicly call out Trent Frederic for his performance as of late.
"We would like more out of Trent. He isn't happy with how he is playing. We'd like more offence but also more tenacity and physicality. He is not moving his feet as well as he can. There are a lot of guys on the team who can play better, and he is one of them."

The puck is set to be dropped tonight at 6:30 PM MT, and fans across Canada can catch the game exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
