I hope Conklin plays this game (he was named the defensive plaer of the week). I'm not sure if Oates will be playing...

My Prediction: 6-2 Oilers

Ayirak

Oilers win 4-1

Chicago and Edmonton are tied with 18 points apiece although the Oil have 2 games in hand. The most notable stat I noticed was the goals for and against with these two teams:

Edmonton - G 50, GA 51 ( goals for - 8th place)
Chicago - G 36, GA 51 (goals for - 30th place)

They both suck at the PP and the PK, so anything could happen. After a somewhat successful extended roadtrip and an O.T. win over the Flames on Saturday I am going to give the edge to the Oil. They are pumped with that as well as the excitement building for this upcoming weekend. Magic 8-ball says the Oil over the 'Hawks by 3 goals.

I don't think we will see Oates in an Oiler sweater for probably until the end of the month.

My prediction is ...

2-1 Oilers

I'm not sure if Oates will be playing, so this is my prediction assuming he won't be playing tonight ...

It's too bad ESPN won't pick up this game (They're showing the AVs and Ducks, I believe) ... I'll try to get the game on NHL.com radio ...

Oates will not play for at least a week. He needs to get in hockey shape before he starts playing. He will pratice with the team though.

Oates or no Oates, I say 4-2 Oil. Conklin is going to steal the starters spot.
