McDavid has seemingly been battling through an undisclosed injury for most of the series against the Anaheim Ducks, and was absent from Edmonton's morning skate on Tuesday. Head Coach Kris Knoblauch indicated that McDavid's status for Game Five was uncertain, but he ultimately appears to be fit enough to play. The 29-year-old superstar forward has four points (1G / 3A) and a -6 plus/minus through four games this postseason.

Tristan Jarry played well in his postseason debut in Game Four, but the Oilers lost 4-3 in overtime to the Anaheim Ducks, and will revert to Ingram in a must-win Game 5, down 3-1 in the series. The 29-year-old Ingram has been serviceable, making some key saves, but some team defensive lapses make his statistics suggest otherwise, posting an ugly 4.70 GAA and .849 SV% through three games (1-2). Still, the Oilers enter Game Five as -164 home favourites.
After allowing 16 goals in their first three games, falling to a 2-1 series deficit to the Anaheim Ducks, the Oilers will turn to Jarry to tend the twine. The 30-year-old Jarry struggled during the regular season with the Oilers, posting an ugly 3.86 GAA and .857 SV% in 19 appearances (9-6-2), eventually losing the starting gig to Connor Ingram. That said, the Oilers are desperate for a spark and hope the goalie change can even the series at 2-2. Edmonton enters Game Four as a -130 road favourite.
Dickinson was a game-time decision in Game Two and ultimately did not play, and is unavailable again for Game Three.

He averaged 15:03 time-on-ice and scored four points (1G / 3A) in 17 games with the Oilers this season after being acquired before the trade deadline.
Despite the Game 2 loss, the Oilers will stick with the status quo in goal as Ingram makes his third start of the playoffs. Ingram was tagged for five goals on 27 shots in Game 2 as the Oilers suffered a 6-4 defeat. Even with the series shifting back to Anaheim for Game 3, the oddsmakers still have the Oilers pegged as the favourites as they enter action at -135 on the money line.
