The Edmonton Oilers return home to Rogers Place for a crucial Game 3 in their first-round series against the LA Kings, trailing 2-0 and searching for answers. On today’s Oilersnation Everyday, Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin get you set for a massive night on home ice, where the Oilers look to claw back into the series.

The big story heading into tonight: Calvin Pickard gets the start. After Stuart Skinner allowed 11 goals through the first two games, Kris Knoblauch is handing the crease over to the veteran backup. How confident should Oilers fans be in Pickard? We’ll dive into that conversation, as well as how the Oilers' defensive structure must improve in front of him.

Zach Hyman is back on the top line alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, as the Oilers shuffle their forward group to reignite their offense. There are also significant changes on the blue line, which we’ll break down in today’s lineup report and game notes.

As always, we’ll bring you our One Big Take, pose the Sherwood Ford Giant Question, and make our picks in the Game Day Bet365 Betting Challenge.

To wrap it all up, we’ll be joined by former NHL defenseman Jason Demers to preview tonight’s game and offer his take on what the Oilers need to change if they want to swing the momentum and get back in this series.

Game 3 is do-or-die territory. Let’s get into it.
