Tonight's Storyline

Between road trips the Oilers had a reasonably friendly homeschedule given their opponents. In their most recent game they played host to the Rangers who were playing for the second night in a row. The Oilers couldn't take advantage of a tired team though and came away with zero points. Before that, when the Dallas Starts visited, the story was very similar. The Stars were also playing for the second night in a row, and for the fifth time in a week, and still no points for the Oilers. For a team whose best case scenario is battling for a bubble spot in March and April those are points they can't afford to let walk away. Tonight the Oilers travel to Anaheim to take on a decently well rested Ducks team who last played on Saturday night, hopefully the result is a better one for the team from Edmonton.
