Jack Michaels

The guy on the right celebrates a birthday tonight as we’ve got a Stanley Cup Final rematch at 7:08 MT on @Sportsnet … and how old is @LouDeBrusk? Well, when Michael Jordan returned from his baseball stint, he scored that many in his 5th game back at MSG.

Max Jones buries the winner as Edmonton beats San Jose for the 16th time in their last 18 meetings. Oilers tied for first in Pacific.

Statement re: #Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl nhl.com/oilers/news/re…

Leon Draisaitl officially ruled out tonight. Oilers 7-6-1 last two years without him in the lineup. Centres will remain McDavid, Dickinson, Samanski, Henrique. Puck drop 7:08 MT on @Sportsnet.

Edmonton’s @RogersPlace will play host to the semifinals and championship game.

Edmonton continues its mastery of Nashville (16-1-3 last 20 meetings).

Oiler lineup: Savoie-McDavid-Hyman Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kapanen RNH-Dickinson-Roslovic Samanski-Henrique-Frederic Ekholm-Bouchard Nurse-Murphy Walman-Stastney Ingram @Sportsnet at 6:08 MT.

RNH on the ice for EDM. He’ll play.

Oilers in STL: Savoie-McDavid-Hyman Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Kapanen Samanski-Dickinson-Roslovic Jones-Frederic-Henrique Ekholm-Bouchard Nurse-Murphy Walman-Stastney Ingram (5-2, .936 career vs STL)

RNH out tonight—Max Jones will play his first NHL game since Dec. 31.

Ingram not starting tonight but healthy and backing up Jarry. Henrique returns to the lineup as EDM looks to snap a 13-game point streak (12-0-1) for Dallas. Puck drop at 6:08 MT on @Sportsnet with @GenePrincipe & @LouDeBrusk …

Give and go for the win.

Three guys down. Two separate deficits. Signature win.

EDM will be ready tonight. Feels like an opportunity to kick season into higher gear at last. 8:17 MT puck drop on @sportsnet.

McDavid riding an 18-game point streak on the road, one that’s been matched only by Draisaitl & P. Kane in the last 30 years. The Oilers look for their 1st win over the Central’s Big 3 tomorrow and will be in a redemptive mood for Nov. 8. Puck drop on @Sportsnet at 8:07 MT.

The eventual winner. They all count.

That was one the Oilers needed and they got it. They’ll be highly motivated for another shot at Colorado Tuesday. Matt Savoie has been a revelation since the Olympic break—both ends of the ice. Big win for Ingram, who’s a lock to start vs the Avs.

Huge swing game in Vegas to open potentially a season-defining road trip for the Oilers, who have beaten the GK in seven of their last eight meetings. Ingram vs Hill in net. Samanski draws in for Henrique as 4th line centre. Podkolzin back w/Draisaitl & Roslovic.

No doubt he was a great player and broadcaster, but what I’ll remember most is how KIND he was to a colleague finding his way in a new country covering the world’s best league. Proud to say my son played for a city championship in the St. Albert arena named after him. Cheers.

Jarry back out for 3rd.
