Edmonton will take on Los Angeles Thursday, then face Vancouver on New Year’s Eve. Following a 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks Friday, Edmonton fell out of the Pacific Division lead, but doesn’t trail far behind. They are still in the race for the lead, and can definitely reclaim their spots with a win over the Kings.
Projected Forward Lines
The Oilers had similar forward lines to what we have seen of late for their morning skate Wednesday.
