Despite Zach Hyman heading to the injured reserve, the Edmonton Oilers are getting two key members of their lineup back.
Centre Jason Dickinson and defenceman Mattias Ekholm are expected to return against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.
Dickinson has struggled with injuries this season, missing time on two separate occasions already. He's been sidelined since Oct.
15 with an undisclosed injury suffered in practice, and he also missed the first three games of the season with a foot injury.
The 31-year-old has suited up in just three games, grabbing an assist while averaging 12:12 of ice time. He was activated from the injured reserve on Wednesday.
Ekholm missed the last two games with a concussion suffered in last Thursday's win over the Carolina Hurricanes. He has one goal and two assists in 10 games.
The 36-year-old is expected to replace Jake Walman in the lineup, who will be a healthy scratch.
