On defence, Darnell Nurse moved up to the team's top pairing, skating with Adam Larsson. Oscar Klefbom was bumped down to the second pairing with Matt Benning.

On the power play, Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid worked on separate units. McDavid joined the group of Drake Caggiula, Mark Letestu, Patrick Maroon and Klefbom, with Yamamoto also seeing reps. While Draisaitl  worked with Ryan Strome, Nugent-Hopkins, Lucic and Benning.

"This way they get their own units and it creates competition. If one unit gets hot, they'll get ice time," Oilers head coach Todd McLellan said of splitting up McDavid and Leon Draisaitl
