The Edmonton Oilers are looking to keep the ball rolling against the Los Angeles Kings in game two of their first round series. The Oilers kicked off the series the right way - with a commanding 7-4 victory.

For the Oilers they are going back to what worked in game one - with Stuart Skinner getting the start in net. He was the starting netminder for the regular season and that trend has continued into the post season.

For the other side, Cam Talbot is the confirmed starter for game two. This is somewhat puzzling given how the first game went. On the other hand, the alternative is David Rittich.

Talbot will be put to the test tonight, as the Oilers look to go up 2-0 in the series going into Los Angeles.

There's no doubt that the razing he experienced at the hands of the Oilers faithful will continue - especially if things get out of hand quickly. It comes with the territory of being the goalie for the Oilers opposition - and Talbot being the professional that he is, certainly will expect it.

Tonight will be an opportunity for the Kings to prove that they have what it takes to make the series difficult for the Oilers.
