Dallas needs Klingberg more than the Oilers. Their other three right-shot D — Matt Dumba, Ilya Lyubushkin and Nils Lundkvist — haven’t scored a goal all season long. He wants to play on a Cup contender and wherever he signs, he’s in audition mode for next season.

The Edmonton Oilers have Connor McDavid back after a three-game suspension and, with that, came some pretty major line changes.

Right-shot defenceman Alec Regula was claimed off waivers six weeks ago from the Boston Bruins, who were trying to send him to their AHL farm team in Providence to continue his rehab from off-season knee surgery, but he’s yet to play a single minute for the Edmonton Oilers.
