The Oilers should have taken two points against the Blackhawks on Wednesday, but you know how that goes.The Oilers outshot Chicago by a margin or 37-27, but Chicago's Artemi Panarin had three points (1-2-3) including an assist on the game winner in OT as the Blackhawks skated out of Edmonton with two points.  Jordan Eberle, Benoit Pouliot and Leon Draisaitl each scored for the Oilers.  The Oilers earned a point with a shootout loss, but are desperate for two point games.  Tonight, they take on a Devils team that's surprised out of the gate.

Let's go to the tape.

The Oilers are saying

We started really well," said Oilers winger Jordan Eberle. "I don’t know what the shots were in the first, but we definitely outplayed them

That's Oilers forward Jordan Eberle on Edmonton's first period against the Blackhawks.

The Oilers outshot the Blackhawks 11-3 (!) in the first period, but yielded the first two goals in the second period.  The Oilers controlled the puck in front of Hawks goalie Corey Crawford, but weren't able to notch one until the sixteen minute mark of the second.

The opponents are saying

"(Devils coach John) Hynes would get my vote right now.  I can't think of a coach who has done more with less in the first quarter of the season than Hynes.
