The Edmonton Oilers will try to save their season against the Chicago Blackhawks in their Stanley Cup Playoffs play-in round series.

In Game 3, the Edmonton Oilers thought they had the win, as they were up one goal with under 5 minutes left. But the Chicago Blackhawks had other plans, storming back to shock them with a win. On Friday, the Oilers will try to extend their season and tie up their Stanley Cup Playoffs play-in round series starting at 6:45 p.m. EST.

It’s desperation time for both teams. Obviously, the Oilers need to win to stay alive in the postseason. But on the other side of the ice, you know the Blackhawks realize they can’t let Edmonton get a chance to come back. This should be a very fascinating, exciting matchup.

INJURIES

Tyler Ennis is definitely out for the Oilers, as he suffered a lower-body injury earlier in the series. Defenseman Adam Larsson is listed as day-to-day and his status for Game 4 isn’t known. Joakim Nygard is on the IR, so he won’t be playing.

Meanwhile, the Blackhawks will be without Andrew Shaw, Zack Smith, and Brent Seabrook. All three of them are on the IR.

STARTING GOALTENDERS

The Edmonton Oilers will probably be sticking with Mikko Koskinen, though they have yet to confirm anything. He helped them win Game 2, though he obviously don’t have a good game in Game 3. Koskinen has an .886% save percentage.

On the other side of the ice, the Chicago Blackhawks will be sticking with Corey Crawford. So far this series, he has an .859% save percentage.
