The Edmonton Oilers made a move this morning before their game against the Calgary Flames.

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to make the number 13 a lucky one tonight. They are taking their 12 game winning streak into Calgary to make history against the Calgary Flames.

They currently are tied for the longest win streak by a Canadian team - an accomplishment they share with the 1967-68 Montreal Canadiens. Because of this, it's a matchup that all Oilers fans should be tuning in for.

The Oilers have also made a notable roster move before their contest against the Flames. Dylan Holloway has been recalled to the NHL roster, while James Hamblin has been loaned to the Bakersfield Condors.

Holloway, 22, last played for the Oilers back on Nov. 13 against the New York Islanders. During that contest, he suffered a lower-body injury that kept him sidelined until early January. Once healthy, he was sent down to the AHL, where he had two goals and four points in four games. He will now be looking to translate that offense to the NHL level with this call-up.

In 14 games this season with the Oilers, Holloway has one goal and a minus-3 rating.

Hamblin, on the other hand, has played in a career-high 31 games this season for Edmonton, where he has two goals and an assist. He had settled into a good role with the team, consistently contributing in the bottom six when called upon.

Tonight the Oilers and Flames will wear their Heritage Classic jerseys once again. Game time is 8 PM Mountain Time. The game will be televised on Hockey Night in Canada and Sportsnet.
