Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug
Oilers have finished their morning skate (which we can not watch). My guess is Koskinen goes tonight. Also wonder if Ennis and RNH flip lines reuniting RNH Draisaitl Yamamoto, one of the better lines in hockey for a stretch this season. We'll ask Tippett.
Rishaug is on the case!
If AA is in the dog house, not sure what else you can do. Just load up Drai's line, and let McDavid try to do everything himself on his line. That approach got us into a playoff spot. The balance approach with our pitiful wing depth had us on pace for another sad year.

I watched the Canucks vs Wild last night, Peterson was nullified, he was going, but his wingers were ineffectual, too easy to snuff out one player especially in the playoffs.. reminded me of McD, poor guy is on his own out there, kid needs some play makers and snipers to give him a hand, break up the tight checking he's getting.

That, in effect, is the reason Kassian is on his wing. He is supposed to create space for Connor by being physical and making the other team think twice. If he’s not effective at his job, it creates a swarm on 97 that is seemingly effective.
Glad to see/hear Koskinen gets the nets, but it won’t matter who’s in net if they guys in front of him are still in their hotel beds.

Watching Kassian closely is depressing. Worse on the boards than Lucic, worse playmaking off the boards in our end than Yakupov. He wasn't even skating well last game, one of the only redeeming qualities of his game with the puck. I really hope that non-contract year Kassian is still a useful player, but he's proved that's the case so many times in his career.
