Oilers lines at practice today: Hall-Gagner-Eberle
Gagner will stay between Hall and Eberle after his amazing 8-point performance last night. Interesting to see what he can do with consistent linemates and ice time.

With 8 points tonight, Sam Gagner also ties a Oilers franchise record, done once by Paul Coffey and twice by Wayne Gretzky.
A pretty remarkable display by Gagner but we don't expect him to turn into Gretzky or Coffey this season. The 8 point night gives him 30 on the season and 10 in his last 10 games.

Gagner is not only available in most leagues but he's benefitted from the injury of RNH. Not a bad guy to grab if you need help down the middle.

At practice today they've got Sam Gagner up with RNH and Eberle...that's how they played the 3rd period last night.
Gagner moves up to the top line after toiling on the third line for most of the season. The second-generation forward has a goal and nine points through 21 games. His boost in fantasy hockey value likely only lasts until Taylor Hall gets back.

Paajarvi-Gagner-Hemsky
Gagner practiced with the first line today but is still questionable. Rookie Anton Lander also took reps with the third line which indicates that the team has not made a decision regarding who to play. The oft-injured center has two assists through 11 games.
