Dickinson was not on the ice for Friday's practice, but is expected to skate on Sunday, which could make him a possibility for Game 1 on Monday. If Dickinson and fellow centre Leon Draisaitl play in Game 1, the Oilers would be at 100 percent to start their series vs. Anaheim. Dickinson figures to play a key shutdown role, allowing Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to face easier matchups.
The Oilers acquired Dickinson and forward Colton Dach in exchange for forward Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional 2027 first-round draft pick earlier this week. In Dickinson, the Oilers are gaining an excellent two-way forward who should excel in a shutdown role and finally fill Edmonton's third-line-centre void.

The Georgetown, Ontario native won't need to worry about obtaining a work visa and will make his Oilers debut on Friday when they host the Hurricanes.
