After getting thoroughly dominated by the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, the Oilers are back in action tonight for another Battle of Alberta. Edmonton has done well in these matchups so far this season, winning four out of the six, and now with Calgary ten points back of them in the standings, they can really put them away with a strong finish to the season series. The Flames have lost four of their last five while the Oilers have a record of 3-1-1 in their last five. Considering how the last game went for Edmonton though, they should be very motivated to bring their ‘A’ game here tonight against their provincial rivals.

Perhaps looking for a bit of a spark, Dave Tippett is going back to some familiar line combinations for this one. I went through those and was joined by special guest Jason Strudwick today on the Pre Game Podcast (brought to you by YEG Burger & Nation Beer)!
