Mattias Ekholm Reveals What Oilers Need to Have for Game 4 Win vs. Panthers

Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm revealed the team just needs to realize they are one win away from getting home ice advantage back in the Finals.

The Edmonton Oilers hit the ice Tuesday, determined to retool their strategy after a suffocating 6-1 loss in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.

The loss not only put them 2-1 down in the series, but also saw the team lose its composure, racking up penalties and failing to capitalize on several power-play opportunities.

The Panthers went up 2-0 on a crazy, penalty-stuffed first period and 4-1 through two. A series of brawls in the third period capped a night in which Edmonton collapsed at both ends of the ice.

Kris Knoblauch doesn't know who will start in net for the Oilers in Game 4

Head coach Kris Knoblauch wouldn't commit to playing starting goalie Stuart Skinner in Thursday's pivotal Game 4.

Skinner, who holds a .866 save percentage in the series, was yanked after allowing five goals on 23 shots. Calvin Pickard played the third period in relief.

Forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, a game-time decision in Game 3 due to an undisclosed injury, ultimately played, but did not practice today after sitting out Sunday's practice as well.
