Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks Team News & Key Leaders
Edmonton Oilers
C Adam Henrique (lower body) and C Leon Draisaitl (back) feature on the Oilers' injury report, both listed as questionable ahead of Game 4.

Leon Draisaitl also has been solid. He has scored seven goals and has 11 assists this year in the postseason, enough for 18 points. Meanwhile, goals have been coming from Zach Hyman here in the playoffs with nine goals and two assists.
Goaltender Stuart Skinner is expected to be back between the pipes. He has been poor in the series so far. He's faced more than 20 shots just once in the series, yet has allowed 12 goals. So far, Skinner has conceded 12 goals from 58 shots, only good for a lowly .793 save percentage.
Vancouver Canucks
Thatcher Demko is listed week-to-week with a knee injury and may not suit up for this series against Edmonton. He'll be missed as Edmonton's offense is one of the best in the league and clicking well. After a poor Game 1 and 2, Arturs Silovs was much better in Game 3, stopping 42 of 45 shots faced.
