Edmonton at Boston

The Edmonton Oilers have not fared well on the road to open the NHL season as they sit at 1-3 coming into Boston for this afternoon's game. This means it will, for all practical purposes, be a morning game for the Oilers as they are two time zones removed from Boston, and just played at home their last time out. They are also off an emotional road win at Detroit - a game that went to overtime, so not the ideal spot for Edmonton here. Talk about odd, the Bruins are into the season by 11 games with this being their 12th, and they have not won more than one in a row, nor lost more than one in a row, so coming off a loss here, needless to say, they have been perfect. Speaking of perfect, no team has given the Oilers more fits than the Bruins as Edmonton has taken the donut losing seven straight to Boston, and have not managed a win in Boston in the last six where they are 0-5-1. I'm riding with the Bruins who have owned this Edmonton team.
