Arvidsson has missed the first five games of the series and will miss at least the next two games (if the Oilers win on Thursday). It's unclear how long Arvidsson will be out if the Kings advance beyond round 1.


With the Oilers facing elimination, they will be without their best defenseman in Game 6. Nurse missed the final four games of the regular season with an injury and the Oilers went 3-1-0 without him.





Frederic failed to record a point with six hits and 14 PIMS while averaging 8:20 TOI/gm in the first two games of the series. Frederic will be replaced by Chris Wagner in the Bruins' bottom-6.

Arvidsson will miss his third straight game with an undisclosed injury, which means Alex Iafallo will remain on the Kings' second line, which was so impressive in Game 1.




Nurse missed the final four games of the regular season with a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision for Game 1 vs. the Kings.



With the Oilers locked into a first round matchup vs. the Kings, they will rest Draisaitl and Connor McDavid in their regular-season finale.
