Edmonton Oilers vs. Minnesota Wild TV Listings

ByDustin Nelson|

…and we’re back.

The All-Star break is over and real hockey is resuming. The Minnesota Wild have 36 games to go and need to get points about 3/4 of them to make the playoffs. So a big winning streak has to happen at some point and Edmonton is a good place to get that going.

Edmonton has struggled this year — though they haven’t had variance swing back in their favor at all, so there’s likely a decent run coming for them at some point here. Part of their problem has been some abysmal goaltending. They’ve got the second worst Sv% at 5-on-5 in the NHL. They’re second to… hang on… looking it up… it’s loading… Ah. The Minnesota Wild.

Edmonton hasn’t been able to get much consistent play out of their forward group once you leave the top line. Unfortunately for Edmonton, it looks like there’s a chance they’ll be without one of the few pieces of the team that has been consistent, Taylor Hall.

No official word on his status yet though.

Lots going on in the return to action though. Erik Haula is scratched, Mikael Granlund is coming off injured reserve, Darcy Kuemper has been sent to Iowa, Devan Dubnyk is getting the net again… we’ve got all the details in today’s game preview. We’ve also got a big ol’ pile of links at the bottom of this post with some more info on what’s going on around the team and the league.
