The Oilers are officially on their first winning streak of the year! Their 8-5 win over the Senators on Sunday night was their second win in a row and tonight, they get a chance to beat that same Senators team with another matchup from Rogers Place. The Oilers powerplay carried them to victory in the first meeting of the season with three first-period goals and while they got out-shot at 5v5, it’s tough to complain about anything when it comes to that game on Sunday. Still, there’s no doubt that Dave Tippett will be looking for his group to clean things up a little bit tonight. The two points are there for the taking and this season, it’s imperative to not let points slip away against Ottawa.

Mikko Koskinen will be back between the pipes for the Oilers and he should be fully rested. Tippett also made a few tweaks to the lineup that have fans excited. I go through those changes and more in today’s Oilersnation Pre Game Pod (brought to you by YEG Burger & Nation Beer). It’s also worth noting that my bet of the game is on a three-game heater!
