EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers look to mount a third win in a row tonight against the Boston Bruins. They are coming off of an overtime win against the Dallas Stars on Saturday - which they followed up with a 6-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Family Day two days ago.

This wasn't the first time that the Oilers have played in Mullet Arena, but this game was special for one major reason. From watching the game you could see the swarm of Oilers fans that made the trip to cheer on the team. It was almost a home game away from home.
Evander Kane noticed the gathering of Oilers fans and briefly commented on it in his post-game availability. "I don't know if I maybe played here three or four times but the Oil fans travel well. It was great seeing them supporting us tonight."
Kris Knoblauch was one member of the organization who has never been to Mullet Arena. He had some great things to share about the small but professional facilities that the Coyotes play in, "It's exciting. It's a smaller arena. It's NHL calibre just miniature-sized."
"I think it was a great atmosphere."
Ryan McLeod enjoyed playing in the Coyotes' barn and went into more detail about what it felt like to play there. "It was great. It was actually super rowdy in here."
"A lot of fun, a lot of fans in the hallways. It was a lot of fun."
The next time the Oilers play at Mullet Arena will be their second last game of the season. It will be the first half of a back-to-back with the Colorado Avalanche on April 17. They welcome the Coyotes to Rogers Arena several days earlier on April 12th.
