Oilersnation Pre Game Podcast – Game 43 at Winnipeg

After a full week off, the Oilers are back in action tonight to take on the Winnipeg Jets. With only 14 games left in the season and a playoff spot essentially wrapped up, there aren’t too many more important games on the Oilers’ schedule. Tonight is certainly one of those games. The Oilers are currently five points back of the Jets in the North Division standings but do have two games in hand of them. A win tonight will go a long way in helping them catch Winnipeg and hopefully, secure home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. We should see a rested Oilers group, although rest hasn’t always helped them this season, but there really aren’t any excuses for the club tonight. They should put their best foot forward in this one. They’ll need to show well tonight because their opponent has been red-hot as of late.
