________________________________
Nothing special about the special teams for either club. Home ice advantage for the Devils really isn't any advantage when the Oil come knocking - the Oil have played well on the road this year.
Word on the street is that Conks will get the start between the pipes for Edmonton.
A possible 5 game losing skid is quite possible tonight. The Oil have had their skid already early in the season...might as well be the Devil's turn.
The Oil need these points to keep up with Colorado and gun for Vancouver and Calgary in the Western Conference.
