70% Informative

Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch wants to see what defenceman Troy Stecher , Ty Emberson or John Klingberg starts the playoffs with Brett Kulak in the third pair.

Coach used Mattias Ekholm , Evan Bouchard , Darnell Nurse , Jake Walman and Kulak all 20-plus minutes against the Jets .

Coach wouldn’t say if Emberson , who has played 65 games, would be back in for Seattle Kraken Saturday .

Derek Ryan will definitely play against Seattle-— his first Oilers game since Jan. 11 in Chicago .

Derek Ryan killed penalties with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins last season and in the playoff run last spring .

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have been out at the same time injured, not just rested late in the season before the playoffs.
