Edmontonian checking in. The Oilers are coming off a pair of losses. The first against Washington, where Hotlby stole the show. The Oilers actually looked good against a top-caliber team. They followed that up with a lackluster game against Carolina. Yakupov was injured so they STACKED their top line with Hall, Draisatl (who has been outstanding!) and Eberle. I wouldnt be surprised if Blash matched Glendening and Co. against this group.
The new look second line consists of Korpikoski, RNH and Purcell. I suspect they will eat a lot of hard minutes against our top 6.
We have destroyed Edmonton over the years but lost our earlier matchup. No yak, no McDavid, that was their "second" line at the time and won the game for the Oilers. You gotta figure the boys will be ready for revenge. Im prediciting a 4-2 win.
Nyquist, Kronwall, Abdelkader and Zetterberg score.
