Edmonton Oilers have scored 9 goals in 3 games, just a quarter of a goal per game below their prior season average of 3.25 GF/GP.

The team has fallen apart at the defensive end of the sheet in recent games.

Leon Draisaitl is back in the line-up after a 4 -game absence, but Connor McDavid remains out.

The Battle of Alberta will be the third and last of this year’s truncated season series.

The Flames are in the chase group for a wild card spot, 6 points behind 8th place St. Louis but with 3 games in hand.

An Edmonton win would go a long way to putting the Flames in the rear view once and for all.
