Sunday evening, both Darnell Nurse and Alex Pietrangelo will be suiting up, after both were suspended for their actions at the end of Game 4.

The Edmonton Oilers have had a dominant power play all season, and that remained true to form in Game 5, as they scored all three of their goals with the man advantage. The team has struggled to score 5-on-5, however, which might be their downfall should they wind up losing to the Knights.
