The Sherwood Ford Giant Pre Game Show – Game 23 vs LA

Dec 5, 2021, 16:00 ESTUpdated: Dec 5, 2021, 15:51 EST
The Oilers are back from their short one-game road trip and are set to host the LA Kings at Rogers Place tonight. Caroline and Tyler get you set for the game with another Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre Game Show! The Oilers haven’t lost back-to-back games yet this season and a big reason why is because they have been absolutely dominant on home ice with a record of 9-1-0.
Their opponent tonight, the LA Kings, have really cooled off since the start of the season. They have just three wins in their last ten games and just three road wins on the season. The Oilers will also get a big boost tonight as Darnell Nurse returns to the lineup after a six-game absence. The Oilers did go 4-2 with Nurse but there’s no denying they missed his presence on the blueline. Mikko Koskinen will also get the start tonight.
Tyler and Caroline give you the game day opposition report (pres. by YEG Burger), the projected lineups (pres. by Deuce Vodka), and the Pointsbet betting report, which features Yaremchuk’s bet of the game! Get it all right here in the Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre Game Show and make sure you’re ready for puck drop!
