SAN JOSE, CA – Forward Filip Hallander will make his debut in Blue & Orange, while defenceman Jake Walman will miss Saturday's game with a lower-body injury as the Edmonton Oilers continue their road trip against the San Jose Sharks.
Head Coach Mike Babcock said Walman is "fine" and that his injury isn't expected to keep him out long term. Shakir Mukhamadullin will fill his spot in the lineup and play alongside Ty Emberson on the third pairing.
Hallander will make his club debut on the second line with Jason Dickinson and Kasperi Kapanen after arriving in San Jose on Thursday following his trade to the Oilers from the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier in the week.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry will get the start in goal.
