Henrique back in Oilers' lineup, McLeod scratched

Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique is back in the lineup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final after missing the last seven contests with a lower-body injury, head coach Kris Knoblauch announced Monday.

Ryan McLeod will be a healthy scratch to make room for Henrique.

Edmonton's prized trade-deadline acquisition, Henrique collected six goals and three assists in 22 games with the Oilers during the regular season and has added two points in six playoff contests. He last played in Game 2 of the second round against the Vancouver Canucks.

McLeod was a mainstay as the Oilers' third-line center during the regular season, contributing 12 goals and 18 assists in 81 games. He's been quiet in the playoffs, though, failing to record a point in 14 contests.
