The Blackhawks start a four-game roundtrip on Saturday night in Edmonton, looking to extend their win streak to five games. The Oilers will be the biggest challenge for the Blackhawks since the coaching change because they’ll be facing the best player in the league in Connor McDavid.
Oh, and it’ll be the first time the Blackhawks will ever be playing against Duncan Keith. No biggie.

Despite being atop the Western Division standings, the Oilers are a statistically mediocre team driven predominantly by their two superstars in McDavid (30 points) and Leon Draisaitl (33 points).
