On Monday night, forward Adam Henrique of the Edmonton Oilers will make his comeback after missing seven games. In Game 3 of the Western Conference final, the Oilers will face the Dallas Stars, and Henrique will start in place of Ryan McLeod. There is a 1-1 tie in the best-of-seven series.
Due to a possible ankle injury, Henrique, 34, has not appeared in a game since May 10 in Game 2 of the second-round series against the Vancouver Canucks. He had only contributed one goal and one assist in six postseason games, and his condition was reported as a lower-body injury.
Henrique, who was acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on March 6, recorded 51 points (24 goals, 27 assists) in 82 regular-season games with the Ducks and Oilers.
He has 530 career points (263 goals, 267 assists) in 912 games with the New Jersey Devils, Ducks and Oilers. He has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 34 career postseason contests.
McLeod, 24, has yet to score a point in 14 games this postseason after tallying 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists) in 81 games during the regular season.
