EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers shook things up for Game 4 of the Western Conference final.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch inserted defenceman Philip Broberg, winger Corey Perry and centre Ryan McLeod into the lineup with his team trailing the Dallas Stars 2-1 in the NHL's best-of-seven semifinal series Wednesday.The 22-year-old Broberg registered two assists in 12 regular-season appearances with the Oilers sandwiched around a long stint with the American Hockey League's Bakersfield Condors in 2023-24.
On the other side, Dallas centre Radek Faksa returned to the lineup in place of Craig Smith following a two-game absence. " been making the most of his season," Knoblauch said."Very difficult situation here. We feel we have a player who is NHL-ready, but we had our six defencemen and we were very fortunate this year to have almost no injuries.
Perry, meanwhile, rejoined the action after being scratched for the last five games. The 39-year-old former Hart Trophy winner and Stanley Cup champion is without a point in the playoffs.The bruising Desharnais, who hit the post in the third period Monday before Dallas pulled away for a 5-3 win, has one assist in 15 playoff games on defence. Foegele has a goal and three points in 15 contests, while Carrick has one assist in eight appearances.
