Oilers' Connor Brown sidelined for Game 4

Edmonton Oilers forward Connor Brown has been ruled out of Game 4 of the Western Conference Final on Tuesday, head coach Kris Knoblauch announced Monday, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Brown exited Edmonton's 6-1 Game 3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Sunday after taking a big hit from defenseman Alex Petrovic in the second period.

Tuesday's clash will be Brown's first time missing a game this campaign. He's put together a solid postseason so far, collecting five goals and eight points in 14 appearances.

Knoblauch added that there's a chance Calvin Pickard can back up Stuart Skinner in Game 4. Pickard hasn't played since Game 2 of the second round against the Vegas Golden Knights, when forward Tomas Hertl landed on his leg.

The Oilers will look to put the Stars on the brink of elimination on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET in Edmonton.
