Oilersnation Pre Game Podcast – Game 42 vs Calgary

Apr 10, 2021, 15:30 EDTUpdated: Apr 10, 2021, 17:37 EDT
The Oilers will be eyeing up their sixth win of the season over the Calgary Flames tonight, something they haven’t done since 1985-86. The Flames are pretty much out of the playoff race but you know they’ll still be fired up for the chance to beat their provincial rivals. The Battle of Alberta hasn’t been as spicy as it was last season, but there have been some heated moments and I’m sure the Flames haven’t forgotten how Mike Smith celebrated the last victory by yelling right at Matt Tkachuk. There are no free spaces on the bingo card in this division and if the Oilers want to grab two points and stay in second place in the North Division, they’ll need to bring their ‘A’ game.
With Ryan Nugent-Hopkins out of the lineup, Dave Tippett has some interesting decisions to make. I go through some lineup possibilities in today’s Pre Game Podcast (brought to you by YEG Burger & Nation Beer)! You can download it right here in the article or by heading to Apple Podcasts or Spotify!
