Preview: Edmonton Oilers drop projected lineups vs Anaheim Ducks
The Edmonton Oilers will be looking for a bounce-back performance after falling 4-3 to the Los Angeles Kings yesterday, but a golden opportunity against the Anaheim Ducks has presented itself to avoid a momentum killing loss.
The Edmonton Oilers played a playoff style game yesterday afternoon, going to pound for pound with the team they ousted in the 1st round of the 2024 postseason.
Although the Edmonton Oilers fell shy of a big victory, they now have their eyes set on the Anaheim Ducks to re-take 2nd place in the Pacific Division.
