Brossoit will start Saturday in Calgary.

Brossoit surrendered five goals (one from his own team) on 35 shots in the Oilers 6-4 loss to the Maple Leafs on Thursday. With Cam Talbot sidelined, the Oilers will need more out of Brossoit if they’re going to stay afloat in the Western Conference over the next few weeks. Brossoit is 0-2-1 with a 2.53 GAA and .914 SV% on the road this season but does have a win in the Scotiabank Saddledome in his young career.

Weber (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Weber has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury, but took part in today’s morning skate and it looks like he will play tonight vs. the Red Wings. Weber skated with Jordie Benn this morning and will likely take his spot back on the top power play unit as well. Monitor his status during pre-game warmups, but it looks like the hulking defenseman will play tonight. He has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 20 games this season.

Brossoit will start Thursday vs. the Maple Leafs.

Brossoit allowed two goals on 30 shots in the Oilers loss in Buffalo last Friday. With Cam Talbot (upper-body) out for at least two weeks, the Oilers will lean heavily on Brossoit. The 24-year-old has posted a 3.31 GAA and .881 SV% in three starts and three relief appearances this season and draws a rough matchup tonight vs. the vision Maple Leafs.
