The @Edmonton Oilers head on the road for one game as they take on the Wild from Minnesota. This starts a tough stretch of games to end the year for the Oilers as they face a handful of strong opponents starting tonight as the Wild are red hot going 6-1-3 in their last 10 games.

@Sam Gagner and @Alex Chiasson return to the lineup while @Mike Smith Starts between the pipes. @Connor McDavid and @Leon Draisatil will remain on separate lines, who knows how long that will that last — we’ll find out this evening. The Oilers look to snap a two-game losing streak as they’re the only team in the NHL that hasn’t lost three straight games.

Puck drop from Minnesota happens just after 6 PM on Sportsnet West.
