The @Edmonton Oilers will look to snap out of their season-long four-game losing streak tonight as they begin a quick two-game road trip from Dallas. The Oilers are facing some serious adversity right now and if they don’t start winning soon then they will find themselves on the outside looking in when it comes to the Western Conference playoff race.
Their schedule won’t make life easier for them either. Tonight, they will go up against a Dallas Stars team that is 4-0-1 in their last five games. Next, they’ll take on the defending Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues before getting set for a weekend doubleheader against the @Pittsburgh Penguins and @Montreal Canadiens. A win tonight would go a long way when it comes to setting the tone for a tough stretch of games.
Dave Tippett is also throwing his forward lines into the blender once again with @Connor McDavid, @Leon Draisaitl, and @Ryan Nugent-Hopkins all centering their own lines.
I went through the new lines and some big numbers to get you set for tonight’s matchup in the Pre Game Podcast (pres. by YEG Burger), which can be downloaded by clicking the button right here in the article or by heading to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Play!
