After four days off, the Oilers hit the ice tonight to start a two-game set against the Winnipeg Jets. With just 11 games to go in the season, the Oilers are still playing for home-ice advantage in round one of the playoffs and these final two head-to-head games against the Jets will go a long way in deciding that. The Oilers are catching a bit of a break for this one as the Jets will be without Nik Ehlers, who has been their most consistent and productive forward this season. The Jets will be dealing with a big loss while the Oilers will be making a pair of additions to their lineup with both Dmitry Kulikov and Ryan McLeod expected to draw in.
