Can the Edmonton Oilers make it two straight wins on the road? That’s the goal tonight as they once again head back to Scotiabank Arena to face the Toronto Maple Leafs. Coming off a 3-1 win on Wednesday, the Oilers are hoping the return of a familiar face can continue to help their Power Play scoring situations.
Left winger James Neal has been in team practice and will make his regular-season debut tonight with the Oilers. One can imagine that head coach Dave Tippett will likely keep an eye on how he performs in his return and hopefully, not overexert him in his first game back. Considering the Oilers need all the help they can get when it comes to scoring Power Play goals, it would be a great sight to see Neal on the ice when those situations come up.
