Status report
Doughty will play after missing three games as a precautionary measure regarding his ankle. He'll replace Burroughs, a defenseman. ... The Oilers will use a lineup with 11 forwards and six defensemen because of injuries and salary-cap constraints. ... McDavid will be scratched as a precautionary measure rather than play three games in four days after having recently returned from a lower-body injury. ... Ekholm, a defenseman, will be out for at least the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. ... Joshua Brown was called up from Bakersfield of the American Hockey League under emergency conditions Monday. ... Hutson signed a two-year, entry-level contract Monday and will make his NHL debut. He finished his NCAA season at Boston University on Saturday.
