The Edmonton Oilers are making a slight change to their lineup ahead of Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.

Head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters Monday that Adam Henrique will be back in the lineup as Ryan McLeod draws out.

According to the coach, it is a “reset” for the team and McLeod will be back “sooner than later.”

The series is currently tied 1-1 as it heads to Rogers Place in Edmonton.

Henrique, 34, has not played since Game 2 of the Oilers’ second-round series against the Vancouver Canucks due to an ankle injury. In the six playoff games he has appeared in, Henrique has recorded one goal and one assist.

Meanwhile, McLeod, 24, has played in every game so far this post-season. Across 14 appearances, McLeod has yet to record a single point.

Catch Game 3 between the Oilers and Dallas Stars starting at 8:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. MT.
