With their season in jeopardy, the Edmonton Oilers decided to spend a portion of their precious cap space to flesh out the forward talent on the team, signing Evander Kane to a contract after his previous deal was terminated by the San Jose Sharks. He’ll be playing his first game with Edmonton tonight, on Connor McDavid’s wing.
The Oilers don’t have the defence corps to shut down their opponents, so the startegy is typically to win high-scoring games on the backs of their stars.
