Stuart Skinner - Tending twine Saturday Skinner will patrol the home crease against Seattle on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Impact Skinner stopped 13 of 16 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg before leaving the game due to a concussion spotter. However, he won't miss any additional action. Skinner has a 23-17-4 record with two shutouts, a 2.85 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 47 appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 14th in the league with 2.97 goals per game in 2024-25.

Trent Frederic - Out at least two more weeks Frederic (lower body) will miss at least another two weeks, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports Friday.

Impact Frederic was acquired by Edmonton from Boston on March 4, but he was injured at the time of the trade and hasn't been able to make his Oilers debut. The 27-year-old has eight goals, 15 points, 44 PIM and 155 hits in 57 appearances with the Bruins this season. When Frederic is healthy, he'll likely serve in a bottom-six capacity for Edmonton.

Stuart Skinner - Avoids injury scare Skinner (concussion) will be available if called upon against the Kraken at home Saturday, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Head coach Kris Knoblauch wouldn't confirm whether he was going to use Skinner or Calvin Pickard in goal Saturday but at least Skinner is an option. Over his last 11 outings, the 26-year-old Skinner is just 3-5-0 with a .872 save percentage while Pickard is 2-0-1 in his last three. Without Connor McDavid (lower body) or Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) versus Seattle, the Oilers will need to rely heavily on their backstop Saturday.

Leon Draisaitl - Won't play against Kraken Draisaitl (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash with Seattle, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

Impact In addition to Draisaitl, the Oilers will also be without superstar Connor McDavid (lower-body), who is undergoing an MRI on Friday. With its top two centers sidelined, Edmonton will likely move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Adam Henrique into top-six roles. For his part, Draisaitl will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury.

Connor McDavid - Undergoing MRI McDavid (lower body) will undergo an MRI on Friday and will be unavailable versus Seattle on Saturday, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

Impact McDavid is riding a 13-game point streak in which he racked up four goals and 15 assists, including six power-play points. The world-class center has already missed six games this season and will now be sidelined for a seventh. With Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) also on the shelf, the Oilers will likely move Ryan Nugent-Hopkins into the first-line center role and will need to shift Corey Perry or Viktor Arvidsson onto the No. 1 power-play unit.
