Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch has been considering whether to include Adam Henrique in the lineup for Game 2, stating Henrique is at 98% readiness. Henrique took warmups for the game, but ultimately did not play. However, in Game 3, Henrique returned to the lineup, replacing Ryan McLeod, who was taken out. This decision was described as a reset by Knoblauch.

Henrique in, McLeod out tonight. Bold decision by Knoblauch taking one of his fastest players out of the lineup. To me, compete level hasn’t been high enough, and hasn’t produced offensively, McLeod needs this message sent. Excellent on the PK but needs to engage.
Henrique in, McLeod out tonight for Game 3.

Kris Knoblauch says Oilers have a decision to make on Adam Henrique. He’s thinking about inserting him in Game 2. Called him 98 per cent, but added a bit more time would make him 100 per cent.
