PRE-GAME REPORT

EDMONTON, AB --
Two teams with identical records will compete against one another at Rogers Place in Edmonton. The Devils and Oilers boast a lot of similarities, their record of course, but also they are two teams that can make you pay with their speed.
Three of the top four point-getters in the NHL this early season will go head-to-head with Jesper Bratt sitting in the four spot, while Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl sit at No. 1 and 2, respectively.
Both clubs are fighting to keep their win streaks alive, the Devils going for five in a row, while the Oilers are hoping to string six straight victories together, which should make for an exciting and competitive matchup tonight.

Speed x2

Both teams tonight rely heavily on their speed game and both teams come into the game with identical records. Blink and you might miss something happen.
"We need to be ready, it's going to be a fast game," Tomas Tatar said, "Obviously we have to focus on our game more than theirs, we know what their strengths are and we have to be aware of it. I think we are playing very good defensively now exiting the zone, we have to be strong on the walls and that's the recipe for tonight."

Devils Game

Similar styles of play, yes, but the focus must remain on how you play versus how theyplay and that's the mentality that needs to be dialed in tonight.
"You've got two teams with good speed, we know we want to use our speed, to get pucks behind," head coach Lindy Ruff said, "We want to make sure that we get them playing a lot in their zone. You know, we don't want to get caught up in a transition game, but I think if we utilize our speed, we can neutralize some of theirs."

Blackwood vs. Skinner

Mackenzie Blackwood returns between the pipes after posting the victory in Vancouver on Tuesday. He'll go head-to-head with Stuart Skinner, who is the confirmed starter for the Edmonton Oilers.
Stuart will make his fourth start of the season and has a 2-1-0 record and a .955 save percentage. The 24-year-old has 18 games of NHL experience.

Marino Hits 200

John Marino has been a welcome addition to the Devils blueline, traded to New Jersey during the off-season. Marino has helped stabilize the backend and mostly paired with Ryan Graves this season has been a fixture shutting down some of the league's top players.
"I didn't even know it was 200 games tonight, to be honest," Marino said, "It flies by, and next thing you know it's 200 games."
Marino, who prior to this season had only played for the Pittsburgh Penguins was actually drafted by the Edmonton Oilers and traded to the Penguins in 2019 for a conditional 2021 sixth-round pick.

TV: Thursday 9:00 p.m. ET; Televised on MSG
Head-to-Head
The Devils and Oilers meet for the first time this season with two identical records going head-to-head in Edmonton. Both clubs have win streaks on the line on Thursday night, the Devils owners of four straight victories, while the Oilers' win streak sits at five.
Three of the top four NHL points leaders meet in the matchup, with Connor McDavid (22 pts), Leon Draisaitl (21 pts), and Jesper Bratt (16 pts) all expected in their respective lineups tonight. McDavid and Draisaitl are No. 1 and 2 in points, while Bratt is fourth. Boston's David Pastrnak is third with 18.
Devils team scope:
The Devils began their Western Canadian road swing with a win in Vancouver on Tuesday night. The win was a fourth straight victory for the club, winning four in a row for the first time since Oct. 6 and 16 2018. The team will try for a fifth straight victory, which as a club has not been accomplished since a span between Dec. 15, 2017, and Dec. 27, 2017.
Jesper Bratt has the opportunity, with at least a point against the Oilers, to set a franchise record for points in 11 games to start a season. Bratt assisted on Nico Hischier's power-play goal in Vancouver to tie the team record with Tom Higgins set back in 1984-85.
Oilers team scope:
The Oilers will hold a pre-game ceremony to open the Oilers Hall of Fame and induct Lee Fogolin and Ryan Smyth as the inaugural inductees.
The Oilers are coming off a dominant win over the Nashville Predators where Evander Kane recorded a hat-trick, McDavid had a two-goal, two-assist effort and in combination with Draisaitl's five-point night, the three Oilers accounted for a 12-point night in Edmonton's fifth consecutive win.
By the Numbers:
The Devils have allowed less than 25 shots to their opponent in nine straight games. A streak between Apr. 10, 2013, to Apr. 27, 2013, was the last time the club had a nine-game streak of conceding 25 shots or less.
The Oilers lead the league in players with 10 or more points. McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zack Hyman all have reached of broken the 10-point mark through the club's first 10 games.
