Gonna work it out?

Vegas is comfortably in the dance, though they’re six points behind the second ranked Sharks in the Pacific. The Oilers...well, they’re here too.

LINES

THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

  • Mikko Koskinen is scheduled to make the start tonight after a forgettable appearance versus Anaheim. You might ask why a team would be interested in playing one goaltender for 23 out of 24 games. I sure know I would.
  • The Ty Rattie Experience is back, baby. With Brad Malone and Josh Currie? That’s going to be quite an energy line if it picks up just six minutes total.
  • DRAFTING? Oilers currently hold the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft Lottery. Maybe they can draft a top six winger if the chips fall to their advantage.
