Roslovic, who signed a one-year contract on Oct. 8, will make his Oilers debut, replacing Philip. With Roslovic in, Mangiapane moves up from the second line, and Frederic down to the third line. … Stecher will make his season debut after being a healthy scratch for the first two games and replaces Regula. … Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said he is “hopeful” Walman, a defenseman who hasn’t played this season, could play in Edmonton’s next game at the New York Islanders on Thursday, and Janmark, a forward who also hasn’t played this season, could “possibly” return this weekend. Each participated in the morning skate. … Knoblauch also said Regula could return this weekend or during their six-game road trip.
