EDMONTON -- As exciting as Game seven can be, the jitters of Game one can rival them.

Especially when a team reaches the next round of play - as the Edmonton Oilers have. They play their first game of the third round tonight against the Dallas Stars. It will certainly be an exciting game in multiple aspects.
The Oilers will look to continue their two-game winning streak into Dallas. They won Game six and seven against the Vancouver Canucks and will look to play a similar style against the Stars.
The Oilers didn't skate today - but Kris Knoblauch told the media present in Dallas that they would roll the same lineup that they did for Game seven.
That means the Adam Henrique will not be drawing in - and neither will Corey Perry. These are two veterans who bring a ton of experience but have either been injured or lacking in performance. It's tough to mess with a winning formula, and Knoblauch has displayed all season his desire to keep line combinations together - especially when the team is winning.

After tonight we will see if this was the right call to make heading into a new series.
