As the Edmonton Oilers take on the Nashville Predators tonight with an 0-2 record, it’s safe to say that this game is an almost must-win for the Oilers. There are several reasons why this game is so crucial for the team’s success this season.
0-3 Doesn’t Make Things Any Easier Moving Forward
Starting the season with a 0-3 record would be a tough hole for the Oilers to climb out of. As much as the season is 82 games long you don’t want to start 3 games behind the 8 ball. It will make every game matter that much more moving forward. Falling behind early could make it difficult for the Oilers to secure a playoff spot, especially in the highly competitive Pacific Division.
Edmonton Oilers Need A Confidence Boost

After losing their first two games of the season, the team will be eager to prove that they can compete against the teams in the league. A win tonight would not only give the team a boost in confidence, but it would also cement the fact that the Oilers are a team to be reckoned with.
