We came through last night with two solid underdog plays that both hit. The Sabres were the team to stop the Penguins 15 game winning streak. It always seems like the big winning streaks are stopped by sub par teams. Look at the Blackhawks undefeated in regulation streak being busted by Colorado.
Also, nothing has gone on in terms of trades yet today. The next couple hours will be interesting though. Just one play tonight though….the battle of Alberta!
Season Record To Date: 43-50 for -6.79 units.
Edmonton Oilers @ Calgary Flames
It’s the battle of Alberta and it’s actually a pretty important game for the Oilers who have turned it up of late and won 4 in a row to put themselves in a position to push for a playoff spot down the stretch. They have 13 games remaining and are just one point behind the Blues for the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference. The Oilers haven’t been great on the road, but they haven’t been horrible either with a 7-8-3 record. But playing in Calgary isn’t much of a road game so they should be able to continue their momentum from their home win over the Flames just two days prior. The Oilers won that one 4-1 even though they were out shot significantly. I expect an even better showing tonight by the kids.
