This is a 10* on EDMONTON

Edmonton comes into tonight tied for first place in the Pacific Division. But while both they and rival Calgary have 22 points, the Oilers have played two fewer games. Tonight should be an easy two points as they host the last place team in the Metropolitan Division, New Jersey. The Devils have just 12 points, though four of their 10 losses have come after regulation. Still this bad start is a real disappointment for a team that had aspirations of making the playoffs. The Devils are the reason that the Oilers are now tied with the Flames for first in the Pacific. They lost 5-2 in Calgary last night. New Jersey had won two in a row prior to last night's defeat. It was the second time this year they'd won consecutive games, only to get blown out their next time hitting the ice. Calgary outshot them 38-23 and really dominated the game in all facets. This will be the Devils third road game in four days. Only three teams have scored fewer goals this season. They have a -16 goal differential. Lack of scoring has been a recent issue for Edmonton as well as they've lost two straight and 7 of 9. But the last two times they've been off consecutive losses, they come back to score 4 goals and win. Play on EDMONTON
