The Edmonton Oilers appear to be getting their game going in this last little stretch. Their numbers on offense actually rank quite a bit lower than their opponent tonight which is likely to change but nevertheless impacts the line.
The Columbus Blue Jackets unlike their counterparts have gotten off to an albeit surprising but hot start on offense tallying on average 3.26 goals per game good for fifth in the league!
They also carry the fifth best shooting percentage in the game at 12.9 percent, in stark contrast to Edmonton's measly 6.8 which ranks dead last. They are piling shots on net from dangerous areas, and just haven't been able to convert them on a regular basis over the course of their nine-game sample size.
