Oilers' Jeff Skinner, Troy Stecher to play in Game 4
June 12 - Forward Jeff Skinner and defenseman Troy Stecher will draw back into the lineup for the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Fla. Per head coach Kris Knoblauch, Skinner will replace Viktor Arvidsson and Stecher will draw in for John Klingberg as the Oilers bid to even their best-of-seven series at two wins apiece. Forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins skated on Thursday morning and will be a game-time decision. Nugent-Hopkins, who is nursing an undisclosed injury, logged 15:34 of ice time in the Oilers' 6-1 setback in Game 3 on Monday. Skinner, 33, has been idle since scoring a goal against the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals on May 29. He also has an assist in two playoff games this spring. Stecher, 31, has recorded a plus-3 rating while averaging 15:56 of ice time in six postseason games. "Troy's been very valuable to our team through the regular season and playoffs," Knoblauch said Wednesday. "I think probably one thing we as a coaching staff appreciate a lot from Troy is how dependable he is. No matter if he's playing big minutes, regularly, hasn't played for a long period of time, anytime we've needed him, he's given us really good minutes and usually is not making mistakes. As a defenseman, that's really important." Klingberg committed a turnover in overtime of Game 2 that nearly led to a game-ending goal. He also had a turnover that led to Sam Reinhart's goal in the second period of Game 3. --Field Level Media

Major Oilers line-up shuffle: Two veterans moved in, two out, one bumped up
Article content This in from the Oilers practice, news of major line and d-man pairing changes at the Edmonton Oilers practice. Jeff Skinner and Troy Stecher appear to be moving into the line-up, with Viktor Arvidsson and John Klingberg moved out, and Connor Brown bumped up to the top line. Ryan Rishaug@TSNRyanRishaug Stecher with Nurse Brown on 97 line with 93 Article content Tony Brar 🚀 @TonyBrarOTV EDM lines – Thursday Morning Skate: RNH – McDavid – Brown Kane – Draisaitl – Kapanen Skinner – Henrique – Frederic Podkolzin – Janmark – Perry • Arvidsson, Ryan, Jones Ekholm – Walman Nurse – Stecher Kulak – Bouchard • Klingberg, Emberson, Dineen My take 1. Hmm. I like the players being moved in, Jeff Skinner and Troy Stecher, and think it's the right thing to turn to them just now. But I don't know why Viktor Arvidsson would be taken out and not Trent Frederic, who has struggled both with injury and with making plays in the offensive zone. Frederic's game lacks explosiveness. Meanwhile Arvidsson has played strong two-way hockey and scored a key goal in Game 1 against Florida. 2. For the third year running Darnell Nurse has struggled to find his 'A' game in the playoffs, even as he so often brought it in the 2024-25 regular season. This has meant a constant changing of the guard when it comes to Nurse's partners, with Cody Ceci, Vincent Desharnais and Brett Kulak all struggling along with him last season, and Evan Bouchard, Brett Kulak and Klingberg struggling with him this year. But Philip Broberg eventually came in to form a steady pairing with Nurse last year. And Troy Stecher has brought out the best in himself and Nurse this year. It's critical that the Oilers get solid minutes out of Nurse and Stecher, and they're a solid bet to give the team just that. Latest National Stories
