GDB 77.0: Oilers Improvement In Both Ends (6:30pm MT, SNW) (Oilers Nation)

Much of the focus on the Oilers' improvement under Jay Woodcroft has been about the reduction in goals against and the Oilers' defensive play.

R GA/GP R GF/GP H GA/GP H GF/GP GA/GP 5×5 GA/GP GF/GP The Oilers have allowed 2.73 GA/game at home and 2.76 on the road. 5×5 GF/GP SA/GP SF/GP What has been very consistent under Woodcroft and Manson has been the Oilers’ goals against — regardless if they play at home or on the road.

Dallas Stars Game Day: 4/20/22 @ Edmonton Oilers (The Hockey Writers)

The Dallas Stars continue their current three-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night. They are 0-1-0 so far.

“He’ll bounce back,” Bowness said of Oettinger. “We have faith in Jake, we have faith in Scott. A couple of bad goals? “And you don’t win at this time of year with half your team playing and the other half not playing well. He has been exactly what Dallas needed with the injuries to Ben Bishop, Anton Khudobin, and Braden Holtby throughout the season. Jake Oettinger did not have himself a good game on Monday in Vancouver. The 23-year-old netminder allowed four goals on 19 shots and was pulled midway through the second period. Nashville secured a win on Tuesday night, so two points for the Stars would keep pace with the Preds for that top wild card. The Stars have also earned points in nine of their last 10 games against the Oilers.

The Oilers look for their third win in a row as the Stars visit Edmonton. A win tonight for the Oilers will bring them ever so close to clinching a playoff ...

- The Oilers will again go 11/7 tonight. They might need another point or two depending on how the rest of the division stacks up, but 96 points might be just enough. The Stars are holding on to the second wild card spot in the West, they’d love nothing more than to get some breathing room with a win tonight.

Edmonton Oilers Vs Dallas Stars: Pre-Game (Oil On Whyte)

The Edmonton Oilers are home at Rogers Place in Edmonton to take on the Dallas Stars in a NHL regular season game hoping to get the win.

I expect this game to have a playoff vibe to it as both teams really want the 2 points up for grabs. So far this season in the two games played the Stars have won both games. In order to do that the Edmonton Oilers must first lock in their spot as a playoff team. If the Oilers can get to the playoffs riding a hot streak that would be ideal. The Oilers are 8-1-1 in their last 10. It looks like this may be the first time in the existence of their franchise that Vegas will miss the playoffs.

He has 110 points (42 G, 68 A), just six points off his career-high. The Stars will cut off the middle of the ice from McDavid and talented winger Leon Draisaitl and force them into tight spaces. Goalies Jake Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood have been splitting starts over the past month, but I expect Stars coach Rick Bowness to ride the hot hand over the final 10 days of the season. Dallas (43-28-5) is clinging to the second wild card in the Western Conference, four points ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights and five points ahead of the Vancouver Canucks. A win would reduce the Stars’ magic number and could possibly move them into the first wild card. Edmonton (44-26-6) currently sits in second place in the Pacific Division and a win against the Stars would drop the Oilers' magic number down to 1.

Game night: Dallas Stars at Edmonton Oilers (Edmonton Journal)

The Oilers still haven't official sewn up home-ice advantage in the first round, but a win over Dallas would go a long way.

It’s not the first thing on his priority list right now, but you know he’d like to make it four Art Ross Trophies in six years. They took Minnesota to overtime and shut out Tampa Bay, but also lost to New Jersey and just got pounded 6-2 in Vancouver. They have a much tougher schedule than third-place Los Angeles, with Colorado and Pittsburgh still to come, so nothing is guaranteed.

Stars Look for Rebound Against Oilers (Defending Big D)

One bad loss in Vancouver doesn't end the season, but Dallas needs a return to form in the first of an Alberta back-to-back against Edmonton.

In Vancouver, the checking line(s) got caved in. Goaltending/Fast Start. The Oilers - and Mike Smith in particular - are coming off of two straight 4-0 shutout wins. The second was a tighter matchup, and without Heiskanen in the lineup, the pairing of John Klingberg and Esa Lindell struggled against the Oilers’ top player.
