Oilersnation Radio: Oilers back in the win column with big comeback victory over the Kings

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and that means it’s time for a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to break down everything that’s happening with the Edmonton Oilers.

Kicking off the Tuesday episode of ONR, we got the podcast started with a delicious debate about the Oilers’ deadline plans and whether or not our preferences for what Ken Holland does have changed, given the Oilers’ recent struggles. Would the team be better off to get defensive depth over trying to find additional scoring up front?

Changing gears, we looked back at the last handful of games and discussed how important it was that the Oilers found a way to beat the Kings last night at Rogers Place to halt their three-game losing streak. While it wasn’t necessarily the perfect game, you have to appreciate the way the Oilers kept grinding until eventually wrestling the lead away in the third period to complete the four-point swing.

Next up, we played Dan’s ONR 3v3 game as a preview to tomorrow’s clash with the St. Louis Blues where we all had to pick the best possible starting lineup we could with players that have played on both clubs. What we learned from this exercise is that none of us are all that familiar with the St. Louis Blues’ history, which made this draft even more entertaining than initially expected.

Lastly, we wrapped up the podcast with a quick preview of tomorrow night’s game versus the St. Louis Blues and offered our score predictions for how we think the rematch will play out.
