How to Watch, Live Stream Preds at Oilers

The halfway point of Nashville's four-game trip has been reached, and this evening in Edmonton, the Predators will face the Oilers in the third outing of their Western Canada swing. Tonight's contest marks Nashville's second trip to Edmonton in less than a month; the Preds fell to the Oilers, 4-2, back on Jan. 14.
The journey has been kind to the Preds thus far, and after starting with a 2-1 overtime victory against the Jets on Tuesday, Nashville went into Calgary on Thursday and topped the Flames by a 3-2 final to gain more ground in the Western Conference standings.
Entering Friday night's action, the Predators were just one point back of the Flames for the second Wild Card spot with two games in hand. If they can find success tonight in the NHL's northernmost city, Nashville could be right back in the mix for a playoff spot with just under two months to go in the regular season.

"A lot of these guys have been through the struggles, and for me as a first-year player, I'm still learning how to handle that kind of stuff and whatnot, but I think our confidence is continuing to grow," Preds defenseman Dante Fabbro said. "And not just confidence level, but our team play as well. It's been huge, and it's helped us out tremendously. We're building it out from the defense to the offense, and you can see how we're playing and how good we are as a team right now. We've just got to continue on the right path."
The Predators practiced on Friday afternoon in Edmonton and were once again joined by Ryan Ellis (upper-body injury, Injured Reserve) and Calle Jarnkrok (illness). Neither of them have played on the trip, and while Jarnkrok's appearance back on the ice signals a return could be imminent, Ellis is not expected to play in either of the next two games in Canada.

Last Time Out:
Fabbro, Kyle Turris and Mikael Granlund tallied for the Preds in their win on Thursday night in Calgary, while Juuse Saros made 37 saves en route to his second-straight win to start the trip.
Josi had two assists in the victory to give him 53 points in 53 games to lead the Preds. Filip Forsberg has 38 points on the season, Matt Duchene has 35, and Nick Bonino, Ryan Johansen and Mattias Ekholm all have 30 points apiece. Forsberg is tops on the team with 18 goals, followed by Bonino with 16 and Josi with 14.
The Opposition:
The Oilers put up eight on the Flames last Saturday, but Edmonton has dropped two-straight, including a 6-3 decision at home to San Jose on Thursday. The NHL's top two scorers - Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid - lead the Oilers with 83 and 80 points, respectively.
McDavid has tallied 30 goals on the season, Draisaitl has 29 and former Preds forward James Neal has 19 tallies. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 37 points for the Oilers and Oscar Klefbom has 30. Mikko Koskinen is 15-11-2 on the season; Mike Smith is 13-9-4 in net.

The Predators are 44-25-(3)-3 all-time against the Oilers, including a 22-12-(0)-3 record on the road.
