With the Edmonton Oilers being down 2-0 morale around Edmonton is pretty bleak. This upcoming game 3 is very important for any Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup hopes. If the Oilers lose tonight, they can kiss almost any chance of winning the Cup goodbye, winning 4 straight games against the Florida Panthers is a nearly impossible challenge. On the other hand, a win tonight would give the Oilers a glimmer of hope and some momentum.

Another good thing that could come out of an Oilers win tonight is confidence for this Oilers team. Right now the Oilers must be feeling like whatever they do against Florida they can't score a goal. Through the two games, they only have one goal. If they can win one game they will know it is possible to win and the Panthers will be aware that they can lose.

So winning tonight means more than getting one step closer to evening the series it could also work towards swinging the overall series momentum and in a best-of-seven series momentum can go a long way in winning. One thing is for sure though and that is that right now the Panthers have that momentum.

Question Marks Still Cloud Oilers Lineup

Going into the game tonight there is still a lot of questions surrounding the Oilers and their lineup. Due to the injuries that are plaguing the Edmonton Oilers, there is still no solid roster for game 3. The main players who we don't know will be playing are Darnell Nurse and Evander Kane. The way game 2 went there is no guarantee that either of these two players will be able to play.
