Oilers' Kasperi Kapanen: Returning against Preds

Kapanen (lower body) is expected to be back in the lineup versus Nashville on Tuesday.

Kapanen will rejoin the lineup for the first time since Oct. 19 against the Red Wings, a stretch of 36 games on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. The 29-year-old winger looks set to take a second-line role alongside Leon Draisaitl, an assignment that should help Kapanen start producing offensively.
