The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for a thrilling Pacific Division showdown against the Seattle Kraken tonight, and the boys will look to keep the momentum going following a close 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
Excitement is pulsating through the league as Oilers captain Connor McDavid is set to return to the ice following his 3 game suspension.
The Edmonton Oilers held strong during his absence, going 2-1 without their superstar in the lineup.
With that being said, it appears that head coach Kris Knoblauch will be returning to his winning formula as Connor McDavid re-joins the team in his usual spot on the top-line.
