The Carolina Hurricanes will cap off their back-to-back with a matchup against a rested Edmonton Oilers squad.

The Canes are coming off of a 4-3 overtime win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday, a game which saw the team lose a pair of forwards in Seth Jarvis and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.

Both of their statuses are up in the air for tonight.

Edmonton (8-7-4) enters tonight's game coming off of a 5-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday.

The Oilers have struggled to keep pucks out of their net, but they still boast two of the best players in the world in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

They'll also be getting Zach Hyman back as the power forward is set to make his season debut tonight.
