The Edmonton Oilers are 2-0 to start the season for the first time since 2010. As they look to keep their streak alive, they will have to keep the ball rolling against Buffalo Sunday.
Though the Sabres are without two of their best forwards in Jack Eichel and Evander Kane, this won’t be an easy win for the Oilers. The team got off to a slow start against the Flames, and there are plenty of areas where they need to improve in.
