Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique (ankle) will remain out for Thursday's Game 5 against Vancouver, but he is close to returning, according to head coach Kris Knoblauch. Henrique has been out for three of the last four games while dealing with an ankle injury. He has totaled two points (one goal, one assist) in six playoff games this year. Connor Brown has filled the open spot in the lineup, but the 30-year-old winger has only played limited minutes on the fourth line and hasn't yet registered any points in the series against the Canucks.

Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique (ankle) will miss a second consecutive contest on Tuesday against Vancouver. He's battling an ankle injury, featuring only once in the second-round series. Henrique skated on the first line before getting hurt. The Oilers are in trouble in the matchup, giving up 12 goals and falling 2-1 behind. Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch will attempt to shift the momentum in the series with a goalie change on Tuesday. He has also shaken up his lines, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins jumping on the top line to join Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman.

Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique (lower body) could jump back into action on Friday against Vancouver. He's officially considered a game-time decision for the contest. After averaging close to 16 minutes per game on the top line in Round 1, Henrique was unavailable when Edmonton kicked off the second-round series against the Canucks on Wednesday. Mattias Janmark took over his position next to Connor McDavid, while Connor Brown made his postseason debut on the fourth line. Brown could be the odd man out again on Friday if Henrique returns, although a question mark hangs over Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed), and his absence would result in a significant line shake-up.
