The Edmonton Oilers' ailing blue line will likely get a boost for the final game of their second-round series against the Anaheim Ducks.

Oilers head coach Todd McLellan said postgame Sunday that Oscar Klefbom is expected to be ready for Game 7 on Wednesday night in Anaheim.

Klefbom missed Game 6 with an undisclosed injury after briefly joining his teammates for the pregame warmup.

Earlier Sunday, Oilers defenseman Andrej Sekera was ruled out for Games 6 and 7 with an injury of his own.

Klefbom ranks second on Edmonton in average ice time in the playoffs, logging just under 23 minutes per contest.
