Neal will return tonight in Dallas. Fellow ex-Star Kris Russell will be a game-time decision. Koskinen will start in net—he was brilliant in a 2-1 win in Dallas Dec. 16.

The @Edmonton Oilers are slowly getting healthy and will get another body back Tuesday night.
@James Neal is set to return to the lineup after dealing with a foot/ankle injury that’s held him out of the lineup for 16 games.
Neal hasn’t played since Jan. 29 against the @Calgary Flames. In 50 games this year, Neal has scored 19 goals and another 10 assists averaging 16:39 TOI.
No word, yet, on who slides out of the lineup.
