Status report
The Oilers are expected dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, as they did in a 7-4 loss at the Washington Capitals on Wednesday. ... Paul will make his season debut after missing the first 19 games with an upper-body injury. ... Hedman is "probably a couple of weeks away still," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said; the defenseman was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
