Miscellaneous
The wins just keep on coming for the Edmonton Oilers and tonight they'll be looking to give themselves a little bit of breathing room in the race for second place in the NHL's North Division. With the win on Monday night, the Oilers put themselves one point ahead of the Jets and they also have two games in hand. It's easy to see why a win tonight, which would be the Oiler's seventh over the Jets, would be huge. Edmonton has dominated the season series and that is in large part due to some incredible performances from Connor McDavid and Mike Smith. Monday's game was no exception. Smith made some huge saves early and McDavid was just on another planet. The Jets are banged up right now and struggling while everything seems to be going right for the Oilers. They'll look to keep things rolling in that direction tonight.
