Kris Knoblauch Shakes Up the Lines for Game 1 as Key Oilers Players Missing from Team Practice

Brown played 16:52 of ice time in Edmonton's Game 5 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights last Wednesday, when he had four shots, two hits, and two blocked shots. He didn't skate Saturday, though, with Arvidsson taking his place.

Arvidsson hasn't played since Game 3 of the second-round series against Vegas on May 10.

Brown has four goals and three assists for seven points in 11 playoff games this spring. In the regular season, the 31-year-old netted 13 goals and added 17 assists in 82 games.

Brown is a game-time decision

Following practice, head coach Kris Knoblauch revealed that Brown will be a game-time decision.

Mattias Ekholm skated on the blue line during team practice. Though the team previously stated he'd be missing Games 1 and 2, that might be in question with the volatility of playoff games and the team needing as much reinforcement as possible.

Calvin Pickard will miss at least the first two games as he did not make the trip

In goal, Calvin Pickard did not make the trip and is recuperating at home. Stuart Skinner will get the Game 1 start.

The series starts Wednesday night in Dallas, with Game 2 Friday night before moving to Edmonton for Sunday afternoon's Game 3.
