As the Edmonton Oilers ride a three-game winning streak into the weekend, they got to enjoy a well-deserved break from regular-season action. The Oilers got to enjoy three days off this week and hockey fans couldn’t ask for a better game to return back from on Saturday. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of year again.
The first hockey game of the infamous Battle of Alberta this season begins on Saturday against the Calgary Flames. As we all know from 2020, the last time these two teams faced off, it was quite the battle indeed.
