Game Thread: Pre-season Game #2 - Oilers at Flames

The second of two split squad games. This one is in Calgary. It's okay to pity the poor people who have to attend games in Calgary, nobody wants to do that.

What to Watch For

The Oilers will be icing a decent line-up tonight but clearly the Flames are sending out a closer to opening night line-up than the Oilers are, and that gives the Flames an advantage here. Given the lack of depth on the Oilers roster tonight it's probably worthwhile just keeping an eye on how the top line works against the Flames defence. That defence is the strongest part of the Flames roster, and the Oilers strength is found up front. This is as close to power versus power that you'll find tonight.
