Also, this will be the Oilers’ first home game in a month. The crowd should bring the energy in hopes of getting this team back on track. Also, somebody like McDavid finally gets to sleep in his own bed after being on the road all month. It’s the little things that make the difference. The line is cheap. Give me the Oilers for a much-needed win.
