The Oilers are coming off a successful three-game home stand during which the team won two of three games. Mike Morrison will start in net tonight for the Oliers. Morrison has a 1.14 goals-against average and .952 save percentage in four appearances so far this season. Marian Gaborik will return to the Minnesota lineup tonight, but they will need more then Gaborik to win this game. Minnesota averages 2.65 goals a game! They are LUCKY to get 2 a game at that and Edmonton is a perfect 7-0 when they allow 2 or less goals this season. Minnesota plays a defensive style game that just won't work against the Oilers. The big kicker here is the Oilers are an extremely good road team, winning 7 road games which leads the league. The Oilers will skate circles around the Wild tonight. Edmonton for 2 stars.
