The Avs are missing Landeskog AND Rantanen plus they are down to their 3rd string goalie I believe so the Oilers should win. But the AVs are playing well, finding ways to win and it's a mystery as to which Oilers team will show up.
I haven't seen the lines yet but if it was me, I would go with these lines.
Leon - McDavid - Kassian
Nygard - Nuge - Neal
Khaira - Sheahan - Archibald
Granlund - Haas - Chiasson
Sit Gagner and Russell.
I think Nygard is a player. Every game he plays he gets better. His speed is a weapon, he has some edge and the guy makes plays. He made one hell of a set up to Russell last game. Plus it allows Neal on the right where he likes it.
I didn't think they should have sat Haas in the first place. He gets better each game and can skate. Gagner can't skate and he's a lousy center.
I put Granlund over Russell because both kill penalties and are good at it. Russell does try hard but I don't think he can score. The set up he had last game, wide open, 10 ft from the goal, goalie moving, not set, no one on him and all he can do is put it off the post. If you can't score from that set up, you will never score in my opinion. Granlund has been lousy but I have more confidence he might pot a goal than Russell.
Chasson and Archibald can interchange if needed.

Sit Gags? He's got the hot hand!
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
