The 47-18-4 Winnipeg have travelled to Edmonton for a test against the 40-24-4 Oilers on Thursday night.

Another late-night showdown in the third affair of a three-game road trip, Winnipeg will look to bounce back from an uncharacteristic loss against Vancouver on Tuesday night.

After giving up a rare five-spot  in the 6-2 loss to the Canucks, Connor Hellebuyck will be back in goal for Winnipeg on Thursday. 

No changes have been made following Tuesday's loss, despite some lineup adjustments in-game by head coach Scott Arniel.

Winnipeg is not expected to face the NHL's goal scoring leader, as the Oilers will likely be without the injured Leon Draisiatl on Thursday.

Puck drop is set for 8:00 PM central time and the game can be viewed live on TSN.

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi

Ehlers-Namestnikov-Perfetti

Tanev-Barron-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo

Samberg-Schenn
