Edmonton at New Jersey

Edmonton had a rough start but has turned things around, winning two of three and finally playing up to their talent level. Connor McDavid collected three assists in last week's win over this New Jersey squad, 6-3, and notched the game-winning goal in overtime in Tuesday's 2-1 win at the New York Islanders. The Oilers are 19-8 playing on one day of rest and face a team going in the opposite direction. The New Jersey Devils had a hot start but have come back to earth on a 0-2-1 slide, getting outscored 14-8. New Jersey is #21 in goals allowed, #16 in penalty killing, and are coming off a 3-1 home loss to St. Louis. The Devils are on a 12-26 run and 20-44 when playing on one day of rest. The Oilers have won five of the last six meetings and this is a great spot for the surging young visitors. Play Edmonton.
