Just before their game one match against the Vegas Golden Knights, the Edmonton Oilers received some bad news. Derek Ryan, a crucial depth player for the team, was not present during pre-game warm-up, indicating that he won't be playing. The fact that he also missed the morning practice session suggests that he may be out due to an injury.
The Oilers were relying on Ryan's skills and experience to help them contain the formidable Vegas offense. His absence will be a major setback for the team. However, this situation presents an opportunity for Mattias Janmark, who is set to make his return to the ice after a brief absence. With his offensive skills and ability to create scoring chances, Janmark could prove to be an asset for the Oilers in Ryan's absence.
To learn more about this last-minute development, check out this tweet from Tony Brar, which includes additional information:
The Oilers will need to adapt quickly to this unexpected change if they hope to win their opening match of the series against the Golden Knights.
