Edmonton Oilers forward Nail Yakupov will play Saturday against the St. Louis Blues, the Oilers confirmed Saturday.
Yakupov missed Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Minnesota Wild with a groin injury, but practiced Saturday on his usual line with Derek Roy and Teddy Purcell.
Yakupov has nine goals and 12 assists in 61 games, including eight points in his last eight contests.
