According to the Sports Bureau, Edmonton has never swept a 5 game road trip. If they win tonight it would be the first time in history. Now I hate to nitpick (ok maybe I don't) but in reality this is a six game road trip, though the Oilers came home after losing to the Canuckleheads 7-3 but I digress.
This should be a good game, both teams have identical records in the last 10 games,
(6-3-0-1) they are only a point apart in the standings, albeit the Blues have two games in hand. Interestingly the Blues have not been that great at home 5-9-1-1.
St. Louis doesn't score a lot of goals, in fact no team has scored less (71) but they excellent defensively with only 77 goals allowed.
This is a winnable game, but I have some worries after a third period where the Oilers looked very lackadadaisical against Tampa Bay. Lets hope they bend and don't break.
It would be great for the Oil to come home on a 5 game winning streak!
Go Oilers Go!
