Edmonton Oilers (18-18-3) (6th, Pacific)

Arizona has the 29th best offence in the league and the Oilers need to snap their six game losing streak. Can we make it work here?

LINES

Leon Draisaitl - Connor McDavid - Zack Kassian

Milan Lucic - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Jesse Puljujarvi

Tobias Rieder - Jujhar Khaira - Ryan Spooner

Joseph Gambardella - Kyle Brodziak - Ty Rattie

Darnell Nurse - Alex Petrovic

Caleb Jones - Adam Larsson

Brandon Manning - Matt Benning

Mikko Koskinen

Cam Talbot

THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

Yes, that’s Zack Kassian on the top line. Yes, Milan Lucic is back in the top six
Alex Petrovic is again on the first pair. He played 20:21 in his first game as an Oiler, nearly three more minutes than he did while in Florida. Will his time on ice increase tonight?
Arizona owns the 29th ranked offence in the NHL, so this really is a night that the Oilers might only need a couple of goals to seal the deal. Can they put this ugly winless streak behind them for good?

Let’s all have fun out there.
