Edmonton has a lot to keep in mind prior to puck drop and will look to carry an impressive end to the season over into this new journey. Here is everything you need to know prior to puck drop.
First off, the Oilers practiced Tuesday, gearing up one last time before their campaign. Their lines will likely remain the same.
Joe Thornton practiced in a non-contact jersey and is unlikely to play in Game One. This is good for the Oilers, considering one of the Sharks’ biggest threats will be out of the lineup. Still, there are players like Logan Couture, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski and Brent Burns that will be there to carry the offensive threat San Jose has to offer.
