The Edmonton Oilers will look to snap a two-game slide as they take on the Carolina Hurricanes tonight in game 4 of their six-game home stand to kick off the season. The Canes come into this game having won each of their first three contests, so it will be another tough test early on for this Oiler team.
Contrasting Starts
The Oilers and Hurricanes were both popular preseason picks to win the Stanley Cup, and so far the Hurricanes have proven why. After the first three games, Carolina has allowed just three goals while scoring eleven. Their defensive game has been rock solid, and Freddy Andersen has kicked off his season strong with a .926 Sv% through two starts.
The Oilers, on the other hand, have had some inconsistencies so far. While the special teams have already been excellent, Edmonton will need to get into a rhythm 5 on 5. Six of their first ten goals have come on the powerplay, and they have also allowed 11 goals in their first three outings at Rogers Place. Playing more sound team defence will be necessary tonight against these Eastern Conference juggernauts.
