Pouliot (hip) skated Wednesday and will be ready to play in Thursday's opener, according to the Edmonton Journal. Pouliot will skate on the second line with Nail Yakupov and Leon Draisaitl. This line may hold the key to the Oilers success this season as they need secondary scoring but with this being Pouliot's first season in Edmonton and Draisaitl a rookie, it may end up being to much to ask.
