Stuart Skinner will start in net for the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 against the Los Angeles Kings Tuesday night.
Skinner was benched in Game 4 after he allowed three goals on 11 shots in the first period.
His replacement, Jack Campbell, was a key figure in the Oilers' comeback that finished with a 5-4 win in overtime.
Campbell stopped 27 of 28 shots, including a crucial breakaway pad save with less than six minutes to go in the third period when the Kings led 4-3.
Teammates and coaches praised Campbell's performance on Tuesday, when head coach Jay Woodcroft would not say who would start between Skinner and Campbell.
On Wednesday, Woodcroft said he expects a great game from Skinner.
Evander Kane was not on the ice Tuesday morning, according to TSN's Tom Gazzola, and forward Dylan Holloway skated with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
