SB Nation Opponent: Eyes On The Prize

TWO THOUGHTS

  • Can the Oilers take advantage of a Canadiens club that played in Calgary last night? Montréal did the Oilers quite the favour knocking off the Flames by a 3-2 margin. A win does a lot for the Oilers tonight; it’d be another win on what would then be a four game win streak, it’d bring the Oilers to a Bettman .500, and they’d be just three points away from third place Calgary in the Pacific Division.
  • ENJOY YOUR ROSTER FREEZE: That’s all I got. One thought. Win this game and enjoy the holiday before Chiarelli comes back and trades someone for a right wing.
