Outlook
Sam Gagner is currently riding an 8 game point streak (3G 6A) and rookie Nail Yakupov leads the team in goals with 5 (and clutch celeys with 2). Shawn Horcoff returns to the lineup after missing a game with a strained neck and Potter, Corey draws in for Ryan Whitney who is a healthy scratch for the first time in his career.
Oilers are currently last in the league in ES shooting percentage (5.3%), and you figure that will change. Devan Dubnyk is starting his 9th straight game and he could use a bit more goal support as the club has scored just 5 goals in the last 3 games (1-1-1)
