The big five-game road trip begins tonight in Edmonton, where the Oilers are feeling alright again despite a 7-7-1 record, and the Islanders (6-6-3) look to build off a recent uptick in play.
All the key injuries remain, though there’s at least a positive sign with Alex Romanov’s progress as he returned to practice. It’s 20-year-old Isaiah George’s first real road trip with the team, I trust they’ll treat him well.
When they get back, they’ll have three home games before U.S. Thanksgiving before closing out a busy, busy month with a back-to-back.
