This is the fifth road game over the last seven contests for Edmonton. They've dropped two in a row and 11-of-18 overall. The Oilers are on a 38-89 run on the road and face a top-notch Boston defense that is seventh in the NHL in goals allowed, second in penalty killing. The Oilers have also dropped seven of their last eight against the Eastern Conference. The Bruins have owned this series, winning 13 of the last 16 meetings, with the Oilers a dismal 1-9-1 at Boston. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask is 4-0-2 with a 1.95 goals-against average versus Edmonton, so back home ice and take Boston.
