Lagesson missed Wednesday's game in St. Louis while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to be back in the lineup in New Jersey. The Oilers are also expected to get Jesse Puljujarvi and Darnell Nurse back.
Perron has not played since November 26th due to an upper-body injury but will be back on the top line with Ryan O'Reilly and Brandon Saad on Wednesday. Perron has scored seven goals with 11 assists (18 points) in 20 games before getting hurt.

Faulk has missed the last six games while in COVID-19 protocol but is set to return to the lineup on Tuesday. Brayden Schenn was moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Faulk to be activated. Faulk has enjoyed a strong start to the season, scoring four goals with six assists (10 points) in 22 games.
Perron has been out since November 27th and his move to LTIR means he will likely be out at least until after the Christmas break. The move was made to create some cap space to deal with injuries to Robert Thomas and Brayden Schenn.
