Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton’s projected lineup for game against Anaheim Ducks| April 7, 2025

The Edmonton Oilers are on the road Monday night to face the Anaheim Ducks. The Oilers (44-27-5) conceded a disappointing 3-0 LA Kings loss to drop third in the Pacific division. Conversely, the Ducks are 33-35-8 and not a factor in the playoff race at this stage of the season.

Edmonton remains incredibly injured right now. Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are both out. So are defenseman Mattias Ekholm, goalie Stuart Skinner, and defenseman John Klingberg. Evander Kane and Alec Regula remain on Injured Reserve.

With that in mind, this is what the lineup should look like on Sunday. Remember that it is subject to change ahead of puck drop at 10:30 pm EDT:

Forwards:

1. LW Vasily Podkolzin - C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - RW Viktor Arvidsson
2. LW Trent Frederic - C Adam Henrique - RW Zach Hyman
3. LW Jeff Skinner - C Mattias Janmark - RW Connor Brown
4. LW Max Jones - C Kasperi Kapanen - RW Corey Perry

Defensive Pairs:

• Jake Walman and Evan Bouchard
• Darnell Nurse and Troy Stecher
• Brett Kulak and Ty Emberson

Goaltenders:

• Calvin Pickard
• Olivier Rodrigue

Powerplay Units:

1. Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jeff Skinner, Viktor Arvidsson, and Evan Bouchard
2. Corey Perrey, Adam Henrique, Kasperi Kapanen, Darnell Nurse, and Jake Walman

Penalty Kill Lines:

• Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Connor Brown, Darnell Nurse, and Jake Walman
• Adam Henrique, Mattias Janmark, Ty Emberson, and Brett Kulak

The Oilers are on the road for one more game after a difficult shutout while visiting the Los Angeles Kings. However, they've won three of their last four games.
