The Edmonton Oilers continue their four-game road trip tonight with a matchup against the New Jersey Devils, looking to put Monday’s embarrassing 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres behind them. The Oilers have struggled for a few weeks now, and with the playoffs fast approaching, they need to find their game—starting tonight. Fortunately, they’ll face a Devils team missing their superstar Jack Hughes, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

The big story heading into this one is Jeff Skinner’s promotion to the second line alongside Leon Draisaitl and Viktor Arvidsson. With the Oilers’ offensive production dipping in recent weeks, Skinner will be asked to provide a much-needed spark in the top six. Will this adjustment help Edmonton find the firepower they’ve been missing?

Another major question mark for the Oilers is goaltending. Stuart Skinner has struggled since returning from the 4 Nations Faceoff break, and with a shaky Oilers defense in front of him, they’ll need a big performance from their starter to walk away with two points. Can he step up and deliver a signature win on the road?

We’ll go through all our game day essentials, including the latest lineup report, game notes, and our Sherwood Ford Giant Question. Plus, we’ll close things out with our Gameday Bet365 Betting Challenge, breaking down the best value plays for tonight’s matchup.

Tune in as we get you set for a crucial game in New Jersey!
