Ryan will draw into the Oilers lineup in place of Connor Brown for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens. Ryan has five goals and six assists in 61 games this season.

Pickard has been tremendous when called upon lately, including pitching a 41-save shutout in his last outing, a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Oilers enter action as significant -389 home favourites.
Walman has averaged over 21 minutes of ice time over his last four games, but is battling a lower-body injury and will not play on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Walman has only one point (1G / 0A) in his last 16 games.

Stecher will fill in on the Oilers' blue-line for Mattias Ekholm, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Stecher has one goal and four assists in 47 games this season.
