4 years agoEdmonton Oilers right wing Kailer Yamamoto will miss Thursday's clash with Winnipeg due to an undisclosed injury. The 22-year-old has been riding shotgun next to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, so head coach Dave Tippett will have to reconfigure his top line. Yamamoto is having a solid season with 16 points and 46 shots through 32 games. His first chance to return comes in Saturday's rematch with Winnipeg. Jesse Puljujarvi joins McDavid on the first line Thursday night, as does Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Draisaitl will center the second line between Josh Archibald and Dominik Kahun.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
