PROJECTED LINEUP: Samanski to make playoff debut in Game 2 against Ducks

Josh Samanski is set to make his Stanley Cup Playoff debut for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at Rogers Place, replacing injured Adam Henrique on the fourth line. Henrique suffered a lower-body injury after a collision with Kasperi Kapanen at 17:51 of the first period of Game 1 on Monday. Samanski, who signed a two-year deal with the Oilers last April, posted 31 points in 45 AHL games this season and will skate between Colton Dach and Trent Frederic as the Oilers look to take a 2-0 series lead.
