Let's have fun guessing what will happen in tonight's game.
It's game day today, so why not get ready for tonight's game by making some predictions on the outcome?
First Goal: Connor McDavid
Connor McDavid is the captain and driving force behind the team. He is the engine, the competitive force that influences those around him to raise their game.
Connor McDavid.It's only fitting that he would be the one to score first. While it seems like a safe bet, it's one that I will make regardless.
Prediction: McDavid scores on a breakaway/odd-man rush within the first five minutes of the game.
Most Minutes Played: Evan Bouchard
Evan Bouchard played a lot of minutes during the pre-season (24:02). He is a top-4 defender for the Oilers and the anchor on the power play.
Evan Bouchard.Because of the that, I think he plays the most tonight. He and Mattias Ekholm are sure to see a lot of ice.
Prediction: 25:00 TOI
Final Score: 4-0 Oilers
On the heels of their worst loss in a long time, the players band together for a win.
They come out of the gate swinging - scoring four goals in the first period, and then locking it down defensively for the last two frames.
