The Edmonton Oilers are coming off a clutch overtime victory over the San Jose Sharks yesterday.
After a sleepy start, the Oilers finally woke up with just 17 seconds left in the game, following a late goal by Mattias Ekholm to tie the game 2-2.
Just 18 seconds into overtime, Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl won the game with his 24th goal of the year to augment the Oilers record to 20-11-2.
The Ottawa Senators are also coming off a win against the Vancouver Canucks last night, and the Oilers will look to come out much stronger as another slow start could be detrimental against the resurgent Senators.
