There’s nothing quite like a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your Friday, get you prepped for tonight’s game, and keep you updated on all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, the fellas covered the Oilers’ injury situation, Connor McDavid’s return to the lineup, and much more.
The boys started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers’ injury situation, specifically which player’s injury we’re most concerned about heading into the playoffs. Whether it’s Mattias Ekholm not playing much over the last month, Stuart Skinner only getting two more starts before the playoffs, or Evander Kane’s return after missing the whole season, Tyler wanted to know which player being healthy is the most concerning.
Looking back at the week, we started with Connor McDavid’s return to the lineup on Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues and how the captain looked incredible after being on the shelf for eight games. With three points and more than a handful of flashes of brilliance, McDavid looked back to being himself, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We also spoke about Mattias Ekholm’s return to the lineup, and we offered our take on what would be a good night for the Oilers’ defender after so much time out with injury.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Friday episode of the podcast with another round of betting talk and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the last week of our lives. Whether it was talking about Connor McDavid’s return, having players heat up at the right time, or the opportunity to keep winning games despite losing the team’s two best players, there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR.
