Montreal Canadiens goalie Jake Allen has had some recent consistency issues, so maybe the Edmonton Oilers need to target Sam Montembeault. The Edmonton Oilers are taking on the Vegas Golden Knights tonight for the first time this season. They will do it without the services of a popular free agent. Patrick Kane.

Apparently one "Kane" is enough for the Oilers as they missed out on signing Patrick Kane. This morning it was announced - after months of speculation - that Kane has signed with the Detroit Red Wings. This isn't surprising that the Oilers missed out, given their lack of cap space. What might be surprising is the fact that he signed with the Red Wings. A bit ironic that he is heading to Ken Holland's old team. Steve Yzerman is rewarding the strong play from his team by adding some offensive firepower to the team. The Oilers play the Red Wings on January 11th, 2024. Keep that game circled on your calendar to see how Kane's hips are holding up.
