Oilers: Janmark Takes Top-Six Role as Team Faces Stars
Oilers Lineup Changes
DALLAS, TX – The Janitor has been called.
This Saturday afternoon, Mattias Janmark is poised to take on top-six responsibilities when the Edmonton Oilers enter American Airlines Center in search of their third straight victory against the Dallas Stars.
As per Friday's practice in Dallas, the Swedish forward is expected to skate alongside Viktor Arvidsson and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the team's second line, having produced assists in back-to-back games in Edmonton's previous two contests against Nashville and Philadelphia.
Janmark has a solid track record of elevating his game against his former NHL teams, picking up 12 goals and 7 assists in 50 games over his career against Chicago, Dallas and Vegas.
Last year, in the club's seven-game Stanley Cup Final against the Pant Panthers, the 31-year-old rose to the occasion with two goals and two assists, which included a two-point night in Game 4 that helped extend Edmonton's run.
