Patrick O`Sullivan was much-maligned in Edmonton in last season, and no one was more vocal than the Edmonton Journal's Bruce McCurdy. O'Sullivan struggled last season, but some of that was J.F. Jacques and some of that was the percentages. He's not been able to crack the Hurricanes lineup with any regularity, but if coach Paul Maurice plans on playing him at all this season, he should dress him for tonight's tilt against the Oilers.
Listed below are O'Sullivan's career splits against his most common opponents
