TAMPA, FL – Stuart Skinner will be between the pipes while Troy Stecher and Mattias Janmark will be back in the lineup when the Edmonton Oilers continue their five-game road trip at Amalie Arena against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.
Janmark will come back in for Jeff Skinner and play at left wing on the third line next to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor Brown after the Swedish forward played centre during Edmonton's defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers in the first of back-to-back defeats this past weekend.
Stecher will swap in for John Klingberg on the second pairing next to Darnell Nurse after the Swede played both games of the back-to-back and scored his first Oilers goal to go with an assist against the Flyers.
Edmonton will be looking to raise their game against a Lightning side that's won five straight games and holds a 11-2-1 record against the Oilers over their last 14 visits to Amalie Arena.
"I think they're a fast team. They've got a lot of skill and they have good experience, too," Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said. "They know how to win, so it'll be a challenge, but we're excited for it. I think we usually try to raise our game when we play a team like this. So we expect a good start from us tonight."
