The Edmonton Oilers beat the Calgary Flames over the weekend, but they still might change parts of their lineup.
The Edmonton Oilers won their third ever Heritage Classic game. This time around, they beat the Calgary Flames by a score of 5-2. It was a game where everyone on the team was engaged from start to finish - even if they weren't perfect.
Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid.The top of the lineup is enjoying success, to the surprise of very few people. However the depth for the Oilers needs to improve for the team to truly contend for a Stanley Cup. They have some time to get going, but the sooner the better.
In the latest episode of the Striking Oil Podcast, I recap the Heritage Classic, give my predictions for players sent down (and called up) as well as point out a few secondary players for the Oilers who need to step up their production. Check out the video version from YouTube here:
The Oilers play their next game against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. Until then, we will wait to see if they make any roster moves between now and then.
