The Oilers are back home after a disappointing 5 game road trip that saw them go 2-3-0, taking on the Jets for the second game in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oilers were handled in Winnipeg, starting from the early moments of the game where Koskinen allowed a bad goal, a personal trend that has irked the Oilers faithful. From there the Jets were able to ride a strong goaltending performance from Hellebuyck to the victory, and the Oilers are likely to face off against the perennial Vezina candidate once again in tonight\u2019s game.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oilers should come out of the gate a lot stronger tonight as Winnipeg has continued their winning streak against them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KEYS TO THE GAME<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Edmonton<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Goaltending. Beyond the first goal of last game, there was a lot not to like from Koskinen. Still, he made some big saves to keep the score 1-0, but ultimately for a different result tonight the play in net will have to be stronger. It\u2019s good to see Skinner earning more trust, as it\u2019s not ideal to have most goalies (including Koskinen) start every game except back-to-backs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Stay patient. The Jets are a stout team even before considering Hellebuyck, and well equipped to shut down, or at least frustrate, the Oilers potent attack. A consistent effort is always key, but to stay driven in productive ways will be key, as turning over into frustration or cheating for offence will do nothing but harm to the Oilers chances of winning.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Holiday shopping, for our good friends the refs. McDavid will sign the card but he will definitely not say anything.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Winnipeg<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Keep on keeping on. Obviously, whatever the Jets have been doing against the Oilers has been working. Winnipeg has been contending for much longer than the Oilers, and are well accustomed to winning habits, if not ruthlessly committed to winning.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      EXPECTED LINEUPS<\/b><\/p>\n

      Skinner<\/span><\/p>\n

      Koskinen<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Winnipeg<\/b>: Stastny is out with a lower body injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Connor-Dubois-Wheeler<\/span><\/p>\n

      Copp-Scheifele-Ehlers<\/span><\/p>\n

      Stanley-DeMelo<\/span><\/p>\n

      Hellebuyck<\/span><\/p>\n

      Comrie<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      PLAYERS TO WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Edmonton<\/b>: The Oilers bottom 6 has started to dry up, so getting some kind of production from the shifting sands of the lineup will be crucial. <\/span>McLeod<\/b> has looked steady so far this year, while his line might be without very much offensive upside, the trio should be looking to outperform their Winnipeg counterparts. It is time for <\/span>Tyler Benson<\/b> to start establishing himself with some authority as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Of course, seeing how <\/span>Skinner<\/b> is able to rise to the occasion is huge, for tonight but also in the long run. Whether or not GM Holland is required to make a move to upgrade the position relies on many factors, from the health of Smith down to the play of Skinner. If he\u2019s able to earnestly push for Koskinen\u2019s job outright in the near future it becomes less likely to envision the Oilers making a move for goalie X, Y, or Z who might be available.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Winnipeg<\/b>: at this point we are pretty familiar with this Jets team. The Connor-Dubois and Scheifele-Ehlers tandems are both dangerous, but perhaps one of their best transactions in recent history has been the Trouba for <\/span>Pionk<\/b> deal with the Rangers. At the time, Pionk looked ok on a not-very-good Rangers squad but has since shown he is a well rounded, two-way force.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
