Kris Knoblauch on tonight's matchup
«There's the opportunity after the game to leave right after, but the most important thing is the players being able to get their sleep,» he said. «If we were to leave after the game to Boston, we're probably looking at 4 or 5 AM, and obviously, that's not optimal for the players to get their sleep.
«Everyone hopefully got a good night's sleep and we left the next day. It was a long day, but it was formidable. It's nothing crazy. We got in at a decent hour, guys are here for dinner, and they have an excellent opportunity to get another good night's sleep, so sleep is very important.»
The Boston Bruins are also looking for a bounce back after suffering a brutal 5-4 OT loss to the New York Islanders.
Regardless, tomorrow's matchup should be an epic matchup as the Oilers look to boost their record to 25-12-3.
