The Edmonton Oilers will have one of their stars available for a heavyweight clash.
Defenceman Evan Bouchard will return to the Oilers lineup ahead of their game against the Vegas Golden Knights, the team announced Saturday.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters Friday that Bouchard was "50/50" to play against Vegas even though his injury wasn't considered anything major.
Bouchard left Thursday's 7-1 win over the Minnesota Wild late in the third period with a lower-body injury.
The 25-year-old has six goals and 22 points in 29 games this season.
You can watch Bouchard take his spot in the lineup as the Oilers take on the Golden Knights at 4 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. MT on Sportsnet.
