Matthew Savoie gets a big opportunity tonight
Edmonton Oilers rookie Matthew Savoie will get a big opportunity tonight, as the team announced he'll be bumped up to the first line, where he'll get significant minutes with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Savoie recorded his first career NHL point in Edmonton's 3-2 overtime win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, where he assisted Jake Walman's game-winning goal.

When Will McDavid and Draisaitl Break Out?

Historically, they've had plenty of success against the Ottawa Senators, tonight's opponents. Is tonight the night they break out?
