Mikko Koskinen Likely To Start Again On Sunday

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen has started all of the team's six games so far and he's likely to go again on Sunday against Winnipeg, with Mike Smith (undisclosed) stuck on long-term injured reserve and the team lacking goalie depth.

Auston Matthews Set To Return On Sunday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (undisclosed) will return from a one-game absence on Sunday.
