The Oilers are in Arizona, taking on the Coyotes on the 2nd night of a back-to-back after a tough loss at the hands of the Stars in Dallas last night.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The Oilers will start Mikko Koskinen, like they did October 21st in a 5-1 win against these Coyotes. Since then the Yotes have started to find their game, or at least some points in the standings, perhaps not coincidentally when Scott Wedgewood was claimed off waivers, ascending quickly to the top role in the crease.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The injuries are starting to pile up for the Oilers and the mood around pundits has cooled since their win in Boston, the apex of an early season high. Still, the team should have enough to keep piling up wins until some of their most paramount contributors return, and we\u2019ve at least seen positive signs within the opportunities those injuries present.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Getting the foul taste of losing out of their mouths ASAP with a win tonight would be huge, especially given that the Pacific Division as a whole is looking stronger than most anticipated.<\/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. Power Play. The Coyotes average over 13 penalty minutes per game, which should give the Oilers ample opportunity to win the game with special teams.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Start on time. Koskinen takes a lot of flak for early goals, but the Oilers still managed to find themselves down 2 after the 1st period last night, mustering only 6 shots. Yes, the Coyotes aren\u2019t known for their checking prowess like the Stars are, so it could be a higher scoring game, but it would no doubt help the psyche of the team as a whole to come out strong.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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

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

      \n
    1. Forecheck. With a lot of replacements on the Oilers blueline the Yotes would do well to pressure as many mistakes as they can. They\u2019ll need opportunistic goals to keep pace. That being said, they can\u2019t send too many checkers deep to focus on key 2.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Rush defence. Allowing McDavid or Draisaitl to get speed going through the neutral zone is a dangerous proposition, so the Yotes will at least be attempting to replicate the tight coverage the Stars mustered for most of last night\u2019s game.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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

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

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

      Edmonton<\/b>: Keith left last night\u2019s game with an upper body injury, joining Nurse and Koekkoek as regulars that are out of the lineup. It sounds like there might be even more injuries tonight, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see how the lines shake out.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Hyman \u2014 McDavid \u2014 Puljujarvi<\/span><\/p>\n

      RNH \u2014 Draisaitl \u2014 Yamamoto<\/span><\/p>\n

      Foegele \u2014 McLeod \u2014 Kassian<\/span><\/p>\n

      Perlini \u2014 Ryan \u2014 Turris<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Russel \u2014 Bouchard<\/span><\/p>\n

      Broberg \u2014 Ceci<\/span><\/p>\n

      Lagesson \u2014 Barrie<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

      Arizona<\/b>: Schmaltz, Stralman, and Beagle are out day-to-day, while Ladd and Larsson are on the COVID list.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Keller \u2014 Hayton \u2014 Kessel<\/span><\/p>\n

      Crouse \u2014 Boyd \u2014 Galchenyuk<\/span><\/p>\n

      Roussel \u2014 Jenik \u2014 Eriksson<\/span><\/p>\n

      O\u2019Brien \u2014 Dzingel \u2014 Fasching<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Chychrun \u2014 Lyubushkin<\/span><\/p>\n

      Gostisbehere \u2014 Mayo<\/span><\/p>\n

      Dineen \u2014 Capobianco<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Wedgewood<\/span><\/p>\n

      Vejmelka<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

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

      Edmonton<\/b>: I try not to spend too much time talking about McDavid and Draisaitl here, because yes, they are always players to watch. However since their split Draisaitl has had more success on the scoresheet. McDavid\u2019s 18 game point streak was snapped, but a new one is likely to begin again tonight. That being said, it would be nice to see Hyman and Puljujarvi start to click as a unit. Ryan McLeod had another goal last night, and although offence is probably secondary as it pertains to his current function, it is nice to see him rewarded for his recent defensive efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Of course, Bouchard and Ceci play major roles at the best of times, but <\/span>Tyson Barrie<\/b> is likely to see more than his usual usage. The 3 of them will need a strong stretch of play over the next month or so, rising to the occasion before them.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Despite a minus 2 last night, <\/span>Philip Broberg<\/b> has continued to show encouraging play, an opinion shared by Coach Tippett as the young defender saw more than 18 minutes against Dallas. Depending on how the injury situation continues to unfold, Broberg at least has some time to try to win a regular spot. Again I\u2019ll say it\u2019s not a disappointment if he\u2019s not NHL-top-4 ready at this moment, but if he were it would drastically raise the ceiling for this year\u2019s Oilers.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Arizona<\/b>: Things are looking pretty bleak in a variety of ways when it comes to the Coyotes, so fans will be looking for positive play from their young players, valuing the emergence of a core group or direction for the future more than wins this season. There is some good news as <\/span>Barrett Hayton<\/b> has started to show more flashes of the skills that saw him taken 5th overall in 2018. Finally entrusting him in an offensive role, between the Yotes\u2019 best wingers, will at least help in this regard. It seems as though Arizona has had a hard time developing their top prospects into impact NHLers over the years, so signs of Hayton growing into that space would go a long way for both the lineup and the psyche of a team with an abundance of draft capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      Best player and contract on the Coyotes is probably <\/span>Jakob Chychrun<\/b>. It\u2019s true, things haven\u2019t looked great for anyone on the Coyotes this season, but it\u2019s worth wondering if he\u2019d have a shot at making an Olympic team were his situation in the NHL better. Lyubushkin<\/strong> has been solid as his partner, while <\/span>Gostisbehere<\/b> has shown he still has some game left in the tank, even after passing through waivers last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      GAME NOTES<\/b><\/p>\n

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

      With the Stars grabbing an early lead and checking well last night, Tippett started mixing and matching the lines pretty early and often. A lot of this was centred on getting McDavid going, as I mentioned that line has more to give than it has been recently, and involved putting Perlini on the line. I\u2019ve seen enough Oilers fans talking about how they don\u2019t like Tippett as a coach based on some of the 4th line roster decisions, or in this case putting a player with no goals on McDavid\u2019s wing.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      We\u2019re all entitled to our own evaluations of the coaching but I\u2019d say it\u2019s important to have some perspective. The Tippet era is the most consistent regular season success the Oilers have had in at least a decade (let\u2019s not forget this team was missing the postseason with McDavid and Draisaitl on the roster). If your questions are about the 4th line or depth players, you are in a good spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

      We\u2019re all going to have our own visions of the ideal lineup, but it\u2019s important to remember there is more than one way that things could work. When McDavid and Draisaitl started on the same line there was a lot of groaning about how it shouldn\u2019t be that way, but in retrospect it seems like a smart way to get the pair going while opponents\u2019 defensive structures are still settling. It\u2019s easy and fun to be critical of coaching and management decisions, and every one of them will be let go eventually, but let\u2019s say being distraught and firing the coach because Ryan or Turris are playing 8 minutes a night instead of Sceviour or Benson seems a bit short sighted. Be careful what you wish for.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
