Oilers’ Connor Brown remains in lineup for Game 2 vs. Stars

Connor Brown hasn’t missed a game yet this season — and that streak’s not about to end.

The Edmonton Oilers forward will play in Friday’s Game 2 against the Dallas Stars despite missing morning skate, head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters.

Brown was replaced during morning rushes by Jeff Skinner, leading to some speculation he would be unable to suit up as the Oilers look to even the West final at 1-1.

Instead, he appears set to rejoin his third line alongside Evander Kane and Adam Henrique.

The 31-year-old right-winger has an undisclosed injury that also forced him to miss morning skate on Wednesday.
