This is a 10* on EDMONTON

The Battle for Alberta is renewed Saturday night in Edmonton as the Oilers host their rivals from Calgary. The teams have already met three times in 2021 with Edmonton winning two. After splitting the first two in Calgary, it was 7-1 Edmonton the last time they faced off and that was here on home ice. The Oilers are having the better season, although they have lost three in a row. But all three losses were to Toronto, who leads the all-Canadian North Division. With all three of those losses coming at home and by a combined score of 13-1, you’ve got to think the Oilers are going to come out skating fast this evening. Before running into Toronto, the Oilers had won five in a row. They are third in the division. Calgary is 5th after beating Ottawa Thursday. But the fact they could only split four games against the last place Senators was a disappointment. Having played 9 of their last 12 on the road, the Flames may be road weary. Play on EDMONTON
