Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton's projected lineup for game against Nashville Predators | Nov 14, 2024

The Edmonton Oilers will host the Nashville Predators in a Western Conference matchup on Nov. 14. Ahead of the game, Edmonton is riding a wave of momentum after winning two straight against the Vancouver Canucks and New York Islanders, while on the flip side, the Predators are fresh off a loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Monday, which dropped them to 1-4 in their last five.

Edmonton will be without Evander Kane once again as the winger remains on the long-term injured reserve list. In addition, fellow winger Viktor Arvidsson is listed as questionable for tonight's game with an undisclosed issue that coach Kris Knoblauch described as "nothing too serious."
