Edmonton Oilers (21-13-1, 3rd in North) @

Oilers got one point on Saturday night. Can they take two tonight?

THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

BACK AT IT: The Oilers were trying to knock off some rust in the first half of Saturday’s 4-3 OT loss to the Leafs. For the first third of the game, the Oilers put up just four shots. Could more shots have led to a few more goals? Edmonton will try to find out tonight.
SUPERLINE, VOL II: Edmonton will load up the top line once again as Leon Draisaitl will line up with Connor McDavid and Jesse Puljujärvi once more. Can the Oilers get a banner night from their top line?
BATTLE ON: Mike Smith gets another start after turning aside 27 shots in Edmonton’s OT loss on Saturday. Can Smith keep Edmonton in the mix once again tonight?

Let’s. Go. Oilers.
