Oilers' Dickinson & Draisaitl Return, Lineup Set

0:00It's April 20th. This is NHL News today, AI-powered stories from Inside Your Team. The Edmonton Oilers are locked in for their first round playoff clash with the Anaheim Ducks, chasing that elusive Stanley Cup since 1990. Big news from practice on Sunday, April 19th. Jason Dickinson and Leon Dryzidle both jumped in full throttle, looking sharp and ready to roll. For Game 1, Dickinson, the 30-year-old Ford snag of the trade deadline from Chicago, has chipped in 4 points over 17 games. Dryzidle, also 30, racked up 97 points in 65 games before his setback. Their return could mean a stack lineup right out the gate against the Ducks. Fans are buzzing with hope after these updates, but it might spell tough luck for Josh Sumansky. The kid was tearing it up on a gritty bottom line, with Colton Dock and Trent Frederick, dominating physically, late in the season. Now he's practicing with the extras, likely a healthy scratch if Dickinson centers his own trio with Ryan Nugin Hopkins and Jack Russellovic.

1:04Meanwhile, the Oilers were called Golly Calvin Pickard for emergency depth. No worries though, Connor Ingram and Tristan Jerry are both healthy and set to tandem up. Pickards just there to practice and back them up if needed, giving the crew some extra peace of mind. With a full squad in sight, Edmonton's prime to drop the puck strong. Keep your eyes peeled as this series heats up.
