The Edmonton Oilers haven’t had a winning streak yet this season. They’ll try to win two in a row for the first time in 2017/18 on Thursday night when they visit the New Jersey Devils.
The Oilers beat the Devils 6-3 at Rogers Place on Friday. However, the Oilers remain the lowest scoring team in the NHL with just 2.29 goals-per-game. The Devils are the seventh-best offensive team in the league but are winless in their last three games.
“It’s going to be a fast, high-skilled game tonight like it was a week ago,” winger Milan Lucic said.
Drake Caggiula won’t play after taking a shot off the ankle in Tuesday’s game against the New York Islanders. Anton Slepyshev is a game-time decision after missing the last two games with an injury.
Catch the Oilers and Devils on 630 CHED with the Faceoff Show at 3:30 p.m. The game starts at 5 p.m.
