They are visiting the St. Louis Blues in their last game against them this season. The previous game had a thrilling finish with Connor McDavid scoring a memorable goal over Jordan Binnington's shoulder in overtime.
Every game at this stage of the season is a must win for the Oilers. They want to gain as many points as they can so they can have home ice advantage for the playoffs. Every game is important and every game matters.
Kris Knoblauch spoke to the media ahead of tonight's game. He was asked about Brett Kulak and Cody Ceci - and their availability for tonight's game.
He confirmed that they will both play tonight. Kulak played 49 seconds in the last game against the Anaheim Ducks. He went to the dressing room after taking a puck to the head, and never returned. Ceci missed the Oilers last game due to sickness.
In 72 games this season Kulak has 13 points to go along with 77 shots on net, 64 hits and 73 blocks. All of this while averaging 15:09 of ice time per game.
Cody Ceci has taken on a larger workload - to the tune of 19:59 of average ice time. He's up to 21 points for the 2023-24 season.
