The Edmonton Oilers have made significant lineup changes, with Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick making their debuts. Henrique started on Leon Draisaitl's wing, while Carrick played as the fourth line center. Despite the additions, the Oilers lost 4-2 in Columbus, where the duo debuted. The team's head coach had to adjust the lines, leading to a disappointing outcome after a five-game winning streak.

With the addition of Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch had to re-jig the lines that had won them five straight games. In short: That did not go according to plan. @SportsnetSpec has the story. https://t.co/oioIZehydj
