EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Oilers hit the ice on Tuesday at Rogers Place before departing to Calgary to begin their second-round Battle of Alberta series on Wednesday against the Flames
Several key players were absent from the skate with Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all not on the ice during the Oilers practice.
Head Coach Jay Woodcroft continued the playoff tango engaged with by so many teams and danced around the media's questions about who would be in the lineup for the first game of the series.
"The other day I paid attention to the way Darryl Sutter had talked about the people who weren't skating before Game 7 and he put it really eloquently. He said everyone who didn't skate was available," Woodcroft said about who will be ready for Game 1 in Calgary.
Following the morning practice, the full Oilers squad departed for Calgary this afternoon ahead of Wednesday's Game 1 at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
