PRE-GAME REPORT

EDMONTON, AB - Two of the NHL's most in-form teams will go head-to-head tonight after Lee Fogolin and Ryan Smyth are inducted into the Oilers Hall of Fame at Rogers Place before the Edmonton Oilers host the New Jersey Devils.
The Oilers are winners of five straight, boosted by five separate point-per-game players through 10 games including Connor McDavid (22 points) and Leon Draisaitl (21 points), while the Devils are showcasing their growth as a hockey team and young skill in the likes of Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt with four wins in a row.
Both the Oilers & Devils are riding hot with identical 7-3-0 records and were fixtures in the top 10 of the NHL's Super 16 power rankings this week. Edmonton rose 12 spots to number four, while the Devils went from an unranked spot all the way to number six behind the New York Rangers.
"You've got to give credit to the way the New Jersey Devils have started," Head Coach Jay Woodcroft said. "They're obviously playing at a very high level, and they lead the league or at the top end of the league in a lot of different categories. You go to the offensive side, but I'd go to the fact that they've only given up 25 shots or more I think in one game this year, so they're getting it done both ways."
New Jersey owns the best shot differential in the Leaguer this season, averaging 39.1 shots on goal per game to 21.8 against, while being tied for the fourth-best goals differential (plus-11). Both the Oilers and Devils are top-10 scorers in the NHL, and Edmonton has proven they have the ability to win games in different ways, whether it's a low-scoring defensive battle or a who-scores-the-most scenario.
The Blue & Orange have no concern when it comes to their ability to score goals, but given the option, opening the game up offensively against the Devils into a race to see who can score the most goals isn't necessarily a way they'd like to win the two points.

"I think we always don't want to let it get to the run-and-gun style of game," Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said. "Some games just kind of happen like that and we've been able to adapt and earn two points when that happens, but at the same time, we don't want to give up too much.
"We don't want to be going back and forth making it tough on our d-men and making it tough on our goalies, so I think ideally, you don't let it get to that point."
The talent the Devils possess in Hughes, Bratt, Nico Hischier and Dougie Hamilton speaks for itself, but the Oilers head coach sees a lot of parallels in the finer details between Edmonton's approach and that of New Jersey's -- puck possession, forechecking and back-tracking to the defensive zone along with timely and effective goaltending.
"I think what's unique about them is how tenacious they are in the offensive zone; how elusive they are in the offensive zone, so that combination with some d-men that can get the puck to the net promotes them playing in the offensive zone," Woodcroft said. "When you're playing in the offensive zone, you're not spending any time on your own. So that's one part of it."
Woodcroft continued: "I also think they don't get enough credit for their work back to their own end. I see a group that's relentless on their way back to their own end, and some of their offence even comes off strips and takeaways. But when they do get to their own end, I see a group that's comfortable, they're willing to be in shot lanes, and as a result, their goaltending has been insulated by not having to spend as much time there."

Thursday's expected starter for the Devils in Mackenzie Blackwood is 4-1-0 over his last five appearances, while Vitek Vanecek is 3-0-0 with a shutout and only three goals allowed in his last three starts.
The Oilers will counter with their own hot netminder in Stuart Skinner, who's been lights out for Edmonton this season with a 2-1-0 record, 1.59 goals-against average and .955 save percentage -- including 77 stops on the last 80 shots he's faced.
"I think this team coming in today is exactly what our team needs," Woodcroft said. "We better be prepared, because if we're not, they can make you pay."
OILERS HALL OF FAME CLAIMS
Before the puck drops tonight, alumni Lee Fogolin and Ryan Smyth will be honoured as inaugural inductees into the Oilers Hall of Fame for their individual contributions to the club over their careers, both on and off the ice.
Their names will be enshrined on the ring above the PCL Loge level in Rogers Place with the players previously retired by the Oilers, who'll all be inducted automatically with their places in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
"These guys played many years, and for the team all these years later to honour them like this, I think it's pretty special," forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who'll have a legitimate claim to becoming one of those honoured names after his career, said pre-game.
"I think it's special for some of the fans who watched them play, and obviously, for themselves and for their families."
Nugent-Hopkins played three seasons with Smyth back when he was a fresh face in the NHL as a first-overall pick of the Oilers in 2011. Both centres, Nugentp-Hopkins picked number 94 out as an important early influence in his career.
"Obviously when I played with him, he was finishing up his career," Nugent-Hopkins said. "Just that veteran presence for me. When I first came in as an 18-year-old guy, you definitely look up to a legend like that. He took me under his wing a little bit and I definitely had some great experiences with him.
For some others in the Oilers dressing room like Ryan McLeod, who'll sut up against his brother Michael tonight, he always imagined becoming a player like Smytty in the League for as long as he can remember.

During his post press-conference Hall of Fame media availability on Wednesday, Smyth said he sees a lot of his own game in that of McLeod's in the modern game -- a big badge of honour for the young centre who grew up idolizing Smytty.
"He was actually one of my favourite players growing up, so it's pretty cool to hear him say that and give me that praise," McLeod said. "Hopefully I get a chance to meet him today. I know he's around the rink, so it should be pretty cool."
Lee Fogolin played long before the days or Nugent-Hopkins, but did play in the era of Devils Head Coach Lindy Ruff, who had Fogolin to thank for clearing his vision with a strong check back in the days of no helmets and the two-line pass.
It's not often that someone appreciates an opponent running them down on the ice with a hard hit, but Ruff was thankful that he'd got crunched on this occasion by his former Buffalo Sabres' opponent and teammate.
"I do have one, and it's actually a really good memory," Ruff said. "Mike Ramsey gave me a pass as I cut through the middle, and Lee corked me; I lost my helmet, I lost a glove. It was like a yard sale. He hit me so hard, but I'd been having with my eye for a long time. I'd lost a contact, and that night when I got home, that contact lens was right there in the corner of my eye. It was stuck in the back of my eye, but Lee loosened it up for me."
"Lee gets all the credit for getting it out, so that's a true story, but that's probably one of my fondest memories."
WRINKLES TO THE POWERPLAY
In addition to being a battle of offence, Thursday night will see New Jersey's sharp penalty kill go toe-to-toe with Edmonton's always-dangerous powerplay.
The Devils have enjoyed extended success early this season thanks in large part to their fourth-ranked penalty kill in the NHL (88.2 per cent, 4-for-34) and will pose a challenge for the Oilers second-best powerplay (33.3 per cent, 13-for-39) to break down.
"Their penalty kill has been very good. It's a credit their players going out and executing and their coaching staff for coming up with a good plan," Woodcroft said. "I think they do a lot of really good things. They block a lot of shots. Their goaltender has been very good on the penalty kill. They have good pressure points and they're coordinated in how they're working, and it's a credit to them."
Being one of the most-scouted powerplays in the NHL comes with it the expectation to find new avenues to score, and Edmonton's consistency and chemistry between its top PP producers boosts its effectiveness towards adding new 'wrinkles' to its man advantage.
"I think the good part about being together for so long is that they almost think as one organism," Nugent-Hopkins said. "Everybody is on the same page just from having played together so much. I think the new wrinkles, that's all part of evolving and staying on top of the way teams are killing penalties in the league and trying to stay ahead of the curve that way.

In today's NHL with the access to pre-scouting and different ways to vet an opponent, that ability to score different ways on the powerplay is paramount.
"I think it's very important," he added. "I think it's something that we definitely take pride in is not showing the same look over and we have certain looks that we can go back to, but I definitely think that we change it up."
For the players involved, it's a rewarding and fantastic feeling when a new plan comes off perfectly. But having those set plays to rely upon and build off is equally as important.
"It's cool to see when you get rewarded for something like that. It doesn't always happen like that, and sometimes you make the plan doesn't go in. But yeah, I think it is good to have certain sets to fall back on if things aren't going well.
"For the most part, I definitely think that we all like to kind of change it up depending on what we're being given."

PREVIEW

OILERS vs. DEVILS
STREAM: 7:00 p.m. MT; televised on Sportsnet West
Oilers Team Scope
Five wins in a row is good... six is better.
The Oilers are looking to keep rolling when they take on the Devils in the first of two matchups this month. Edmonton will look to hold serve at home, before traveling to New Jersey on Novemeber 21 for a game at the Prudential Center.
Edmonton is coming off an offensive showcase at home against Central Division rival Nashville, picking up a commanding 7-4 victory at Rogers Place. Who else would lead the way against the Predators either than Leon Draisaitl? The German forward picked up his fifth goal of the season and added four assists to bring his point total to 21 on the season.
More impressively, the five-point night gave Draisaitl an astonishing 25 points (18G, 7A) in his last nine games vs. the Predators.
Evander Kane added a late empty netter to cap off his fifth career regular season hat trick, and his fourth as an Edmonton Oiler (when including the pair of postseason hat tricks he recorded last year). McDavid also notched a two goal, four point night, while Zach Hyman extended his point streak to five games.
Jack Campbell picked up his fifth win in his first seven starts with the Blue & Orange, despite having to contend with a clicking Predators powerplay that went 2-for-2 on the evening.

Devils Team Scope
New Jersey's offseason of change is reaping early season dividends, with the Atlantic club coming into the game with an identical 7-3 record as the Oilers.
Head Coach Lindy Ruff has helped several of the Devils young stars get off to a blazing start, particularly winger Jesper Bratt whose 16 points (4G, 12A) has him trailing only David Pastrnak and the two Oilers stars for the NHL scoring lead. The winger has recorded a point in every game thus far, tying the New Jersey record for the longest point streak to start a season.
Former first-overall-picks in Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier both enter Thursday night's game with 10 points in the Devils first 10 contests (Hischier has played one less game). The youngsters have been supplemented by long time NHL veterans in Tomas Tatar and Ondrej Palat, as well as former Oilers draft pick John Marino.
The Devils are coming into Edmonton on a high after a 5-2 trouncing over the Pacific Division cellar dwelling Canucks. Hughes had a goal and an assist, as did Yegor Sharangovich to help pace the New Jersey attack. Mackenzie Blackwood picked up the win in the contest, stopping 21 of 23 shots on the night.
Blackwood is one of the Devils two-headed goaltending monster, with former Washington Capital Vitek Vanecek and his 2.08 goals-against average making up the second member.
Thursday night's contest at Rogers Place is the middle stop of a Western Canada road trip for the Devils, with the team heading down the QEII to Calgary following the game.
By The Numbers
The Oilers sport the NHL's best record since March 9, 2022 at 26-7-2... Edmonton also averages the most goals-per-game (4.11) and has the highest goal differential (plus-44) in that time frame... Connor McDavid is coming off his fourth four-point game of the season... McDavid's 89 three-point games since 2015-15 lead all NHL skaters in that time frame, with Leon Draisaitl's 66 being the next closest total... The Oilers lead the NHL in players with 10 or more points this season with five (McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins, Hyman, Kane)... McDavid has recorded at least one point in all 11 career games against New Jersey...
The Devils have won four games in-a-row for the first time since 2018... Expect a high scoring affair between the two teams, last season the victor in both contests notched six tallies in the victory... If Jesper Bratt records a point, he will se the Devils record for longest point streak to start a season... Thursday will see the third career matchup of the McLeod brothers (Michael and Ryan) with Ryan's two assists being the only points between the two... Nico Hischier has scored a goal in his last two games against the Oilers... the Devils are 5-0 when Hischier nets a goal this season...
