The Edmonton Oilers have an actual hockey game tonight! After a long offseason and preseason, the regular season is finally here.
Rather than look ahead to the postseason and what Edmonton needs to do to finally win a playoff round, the Oilers have a game to win tonight against the Canucks. This is the Edmonton Oilers’ big home opener. After not having fans in the stands last season, and only a limited number during the postseason, this is the first regular-season game for the fans and team to come together.
This year is all about a new beginning. While there are countless players returning, there are a lot of newcomers hoping to help get this team over the edge. I cannot wait to watch it all play out tonight.

Let’s hope Edmonton can score early and score often tonight! Let us know in the comments who you think is going to score first tonight, I hope Duncan Keith finds a way or Brendan Perlini. Perlini scored a lot in the preseason and now is when it matters the most.
