Corey Perry punished by the Edmonton Oilers for declining play

Oilers forward Corey Perry has struggled to produce up to expectations during this year's Stanley Cup playoffs and now his coach is making a change as a result.

Reports are confirming this afternoon that the Edmonton Oilers are likely to scratch forward Corey Perry for tonight's game. According to Frank Seravalli veteran Adam Henrique will take his place.

However, a conflicting report from Oilers insider Mark Spector believes that while Corey Perry is out of the lineup he will be replaced by Sam Carrick instead of Adam Henrique.

As mentioned by both sources the Edmonton Oilers will turn back to Stuart Skinner who has not played since Game 3. Now the pressure will be on the young netminder and the rest of the Edmonton Oilers to force a Game 7.
