Ryan is expected to miss Saturday's game with a fractured finger.
Ryan suffered a fractured finger on Thursday and will most likely come out of the lineup on Saturday. Byron Froese was promoted and is expected to replace Ryan in the bottom-6.
Edmonton Oilers News
Dermott (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.
Dermott was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Canucks with a charley horse and will not be in the lineup for Saturday's rematch. The Maple Leafs have a couple of solid young defensemen sitting on the sidelines, so there is no sense playing Dermott if he's not 100 percent. Mikko Lehtonen will draw into the lineup for him.

Jones will not be in the Ducks lineup on Tuesday.

Henrique will draw back into the Ducks lineup on Tuesday.

Bouchard was the No.10 overall pick in 2018 and appeared in seven games with the Oilers in 2018-19. The 21-year-old, who had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 54 games with Bakersfield (AHL) last year, will make his season debut vs. the Senators and is expected to skate on the third pair with Kris Russell.

Dermott has been held pointless in the first seven games of the season and will be replaced by Mikko Lehtonen on Tuesday.
Koekkoek will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Koekkoek has been steady on the Oilers' blueline this season, so he'll be a bit of a surprise scratch on Tuesday. With Koekkoek sitting, Caleb Jones will draw back into the lineup for the first time since January 16th.
The Canadiens have recalled Corey Perry from the taxi squad.
Perry is expected to make his Canadiens' debut on Saturday with Joel Armia sidelined with a concussion. Perry will skate on the third line with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Tyler Tofofli. He had five goals and 16 assists (21 points) in 57 games with the Stars a season ago.
The Ducks have added Max Jones to the 23-man roster.
Jones is expected to make his season debut on Friday after replacing Sonny Milano (undisclosed) on the roster. Jones had 12 points (8G / 4A) in 59 games a season ago.
Line Change
Klingberg (undisclosed) will play in the Stars season opener.
Klingberg (undisclosed) is questionable to play in the Stars season opener on Friday.
The Stars are finally ready to make their season debuts on Friday but they may do so without Klingberg. The All-Star defenseman was missing from practice on Thursday for what head coach Rick Bowness simply called "medical reasons." If Klingberg isn't available, Thomas Harley should suit up in his place and Miro Heiskanen would be on the top power-play unit.
Kapanen will make his Penguins debut on Tuesday.
Kapanen missed the first three games of the season due to immigration issues and quarantine but is set to make his Penguins debut on Tuesday. Kapanen is expected to jump right onto the Penguins' top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel vs. Washington.
Goalie Start
Delia will start Sunday in Florida.
Kapanen has cleared COVID-19 protocol and skated on Sunday but will not play vs. Washington.
The Oilers placed Mike Smith on LTIR.
Smith was scheduled to start on Thursday but was scratched due to injury and it’s obviously serious enough to land him on LTIR, which will cost him a minimum of 24 days. With Smith out, Mikko Koskinen is the only NHL-calibre goalie on their roster and could force the Oilers to make a move after losing Anton Forsberg on waivers last week.
