The Oilers defenceman has played just one game in the last seven weeks .

John Klingberg will be playing against his former team, with who he spent eight seasons .

Sherwood Park’s Sam Steel seems to have a bigger role in these playoffs for Dallas right now than last season when he was fourth -line centre.

Steel, a dazzling junior with Regina Pats , hasn’t been an NHL point-producer but does have six in 13 playoff games, playing 14 minutes a night and winning 53.1 percent of his face-offs.

Oiler play-by-play man Jack Michaels will move back to radio with Bob Stauffer for the Western final.
