Status report
The Oilers held an optional morning skate. … Ekholm is probable after missing a 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday because of an illness and would replace Stecher, a defenseman. ... Leddy will return after being out since Oct. 15 because of a lower-body injury. … Tucker briefly skated in the morning but left and the defenseman was ruled out Tuesday and is doubtful against the Florida Panthers on Thursday. … Joseph is doubtful and if unavailable the forward will be replaced by Walker, who was a healthy scratch for a 2-1 win at the Utah Hockey Club on Sunday.
