After clinching home ice for at least their first-round series in the playoffs, the Edmonton Oilers turn their sights on trying to finish in first place in the Pacific Division when they host the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.
Edmonton (48-24-6, 102 points) trails Vancouver (48-22-9, 105 points) by three points entering the showdown but still has one game in hand on the Canucks. And the Oilers also might have reigning Hart Trophy recipient Connor McDavid back in the lineup.
Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone has been cleared to practice while he continues to recover from a lacerated spleen, the team said Friday.

There was no timetable given by the defending Stanley Cup champions for when Stone could return to the lineup.
