Tonight's game features two teams that are really on the opposite ends of the confidence spectrum. The Oilers are coming off an exhilarating, electric win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. As for the Senators, they're currently on a seven-game losing streak and they haven't just been losing, they've been getting smoked for the most part. The Oilers really don't have much of an excuse to not get two points tonight.

The Oilers will wrap up another two-game set against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight from Ice District on Hockey Night in Canada. These two teams are coming off a high scoring contest on Thursday night and there's no doubt that for each side, preventing goals will be the focus tonight. For Edmonton, they're currently on a two-game slide and are just looking to put together a full 60 minutes of solid hockey.

The Oilers return home from a four-game road trip tonight and begin a two-game set against the Toronto Maple Leafs. These two teams split their first two games against each other and since that point, the Oilers are 1-1-0 while the Leafs are 2-0-0 after sweeping their set against the Calgary Flames. At some point, the Oilers need to start winning consecutive games and if they can find a way to do it this week against the Leafs, it would give both the team and the fan base a much-needed boost.

The Oilers will wrap up their four-game road trip tonight with their second straight game against the Winnipeg Jets. Edmonton won the first meeting of the year between these two teams on Sunday night thanks to a buzzer-beater from Leon Draisaitl.

I talked about why fans should be optimistic about the Oilers' chances of getting a win tonight and also went through some line-up notes ahead of tonight's matchup between these two Canadian clubs.

The Oilers continue their four-game road trip tonight with a matchup against the Winnipeg Jets! The Oilers are coming off a loss on Friday night to the Toronto Maple Leafs but they actually played pretty well. Winnipeg hasn't been great at keeping pucks out of their net this year and with their backup goalie getting the start tonight, Edmonton is going to have a great chance to score some goals and get back into the win column.

The Oilers will be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time this season tonight as they play their second straight game in Toronto. The first game was a low-scoring affair, which surprised almost everyone, but I'm sure Oilers Coach Dave Tippett would love to see his team put forth another good defensive performance. Now, the Oilers will be looking to get back to .500 on the year with another big win in Toronto.

For the first time in 321 days, the Oilers hit the road and will play a game outside of Rogers Place. This trip comes at a good time as the team is looking for a bit of a spark as they will try to end their two-game losing streak tonight when they open up a two-game set against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

For the second time in this young season, the Edmonton Oilers will be looking to bounce back from a poor performance. The team failed to show up on Saturday night and by the time their game got to where it needed to be, it was too late. They dropped Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens by a score of 5-1. The good news is that they don't have to wait long to get their revenge as they'll take on the Habs tonight, with revenge on their minds.

History is certainly on the Oilers' side in this matchup as they have not lost to the Montreal Canadiens in regulation in the last three seasons. The Habs are also coming off a disappointing loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in their season opener. They blew a 3-1 lead and eventually lost the game in OT.

I went through the lineups, talked about the Oilers' complicated goaltending situation, and previewed the game from a betting perspective!

Isn't fun to be stressing about the Oilers again? After one game, some fans are already hitting the panic button ahead of their second game against the Vancouver Canucks. On today's Pre-Game Podcast, I try to pull some positives from last night's loss and go through what the Oilers need to do better tonight. I actually think there are some reasons to believe that the Oilers will bounceback really nicely tonight and I explain my thinking today on the pod.
