What To Watch For
The battle for the backup job continues tonight with Anders Nilsson getting the start in net for the Oilers. Ben Scrivens got his first real chance to claim the Oilers' backup job last night and his play certainly wasn't good enough to slam the door shut on Nilsson. With a strong performance tonight Nilsson might be able to force the Oilers coaches and front office to think long and hard about who gets to hang around and watch games from the end of the bench when the season starts.
