The Edmonton Oilers are set to make at least one lineup change for Monday's Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.

Coach Jay Woodcroft said after Sunday's practice that he is considering inserting Kailer Yamamoto into the top six, potentially moving Evan Bouchard to the top power-play unit.

Yamamoto has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the series, but he has been practicing with the team's top line since Thursday.

Bouchard has been playing on the second power-play unit, but he could be moved up to the top unit in place of Tyson Barrie.

Woodcroft said he will make a final decision on his lineup after the morning skate on Monday.

The Oilers are looking to even the series after losing Game 1 5-4 in overtime.

Game 2 is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Monday night at Rogers Place.

Conclusion

The Oilers are hoping that the lineup changes will help them get back in the series and even things up at 1-1.

Yamamoto is a skilled offensive player who can provide a spark to the top six, while Bouchard is a dangerous offensive weapon who could help the Oilers' power play.

If the Oilers can get Yamamoto and Bouchard going, they will be a much more dangerous team and will have a good chance of winning Game 2.
