Oilers injury update: Jarry sick; Levi, Hyman look ‘ready,’ according to Babcock

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry missed morning skate on Thursday due to illness, ruling him out against the Anaheim Ducks. Head coach Mike Babcock confirmed Jarry is sick rather than injured, prompting Matt Tomkins to make his second start for the Oilers. Meanwhile, injured players Devon Levi and Zach Hyman both participated in practice, with Babcock noting that both appear ready to return soon.

Tomkins will make his first home start for Edmonton after stopping 27 of 28 shots in a recent win over the New York Rangers. Levi served as the backup during the skate, while Hyman practiced as the team's 13th forward. Tomkins appears to be the primary lineup change as Edmonton aims to establish a more sustainable playing style.
