Henrique misses Game 3 due to injury

Edmonton Oilers forward Adam Henrique was ruled out for Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday due to a lower-body injury.

Henrique missed Game 1 and logged only 11:38 in Game 2. He averaged 15:52 per contest in Round 1 against the Los Angeles Kings.

Connor Brown will draw into the lineup in Henrique's place.

Henrique has been a staple in Edmonton's top-six forward group since he was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks at the 2024 trade deadline. He collected six goals and three assists in 22 games with the Oilers during the regular season and has added two points in six playoff contests.

The Canucks prevailed 4-3 on Sunday night to take a 2-1 series lead.
