The Edmonton Oilers are currently on a 9 game road trip. The second game of their long road trip is tonight against a team they desperately want to avoid, the Detroit Redwings. In saying that, the Oilers are 0-4-1 against the Redwings in the past 2 years. The Oilers are 6 points out of a playoff spot which puts greater pressure on them in playing the Wings.
Being a Redwings fan, I am aware how big of a game this is for both sides. The Redwings are riddled with a long list of players on injured reserve and the Oilers are desperate for 2 points. The Wings currently sit 6 points atop the Oilers in the Western Conference. Should the Redwings win, that should permanently put the Oilers at the bottom of the West; especially with 22 teams taking part in games tonight. Every team is desperate as this shortened season progresses, it should be an entertaining game.
Prediction: Redwings 3-1 Oilers
Go Wings Go
