Tonight's Storyline

How quickly things change. A week ago the Oilers were on a five game winning streak, had a 7-1-0 record, and everything seemed right with the world. Seven days later they've lost three straight games and if they can't get back in the win column tonight against the Islanders, will find themselves staring down the barrel of a five game losing streak tomorrow in Detroit when they take the ice for the back half of back-to-back games, hardly an ideal scerario for any team. And worse for the Oilers things don't go well for them when the visit the Islanders. Last year's 8-1 beating was the most recent loss, but the last time the Oilers beat the Islanders on the road was December of 1999.

Line Combinations

A couple of changes tonight as the coaches look to get the offence clicking once again.
