Seeking win #9 versus the Bolts

The quest for the Edmonton Oilers ninth win in a row tonight when they go head-to-head with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Oilers and Bolts have faced each other once this season. That time around, Tampa Bay came away with two points after beating the Oilers 6-4 despite being down 2-0 in the first period. Derek Ryan had a pair of goals that day, and James Hamblin scored his first in the NHL. Evan Bouchard also helped out with the scoring. Edmonton will look for a much better outcome tonight against an inconsistent Tampa Bay lineup. In their last handful of games, the Lightning have a 3-2-0 record; however, their most recent result was a loss. That defeat came on Tuesday night versus the Vancouver Canucks when they fell 4-1. The lone goal came from Brayden Point in the first period. Also on the show, today's Sherwood Ford GIANT question is, how many points will the Oilers finish with this season? After 26 games, the Oilers have 27 points and a record of 13-12-1. To help get you prepared for the action down at Rogers Place, today will be a Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre-Game show edition of Oilersnation Everyday. Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will be around as usual, as well as Jay Downton. If you want to contribute something to the conversation, head to the Oilersnation YouTube channel during the show.
