Edmonton Oilers at Chicago Blackhawks, 6:30 p.m., TV: Sportsnet, radio:The Edmonton Oilers started the NHL season 5-0-0 for the first time in 34 years, and made NHL history by becoming the first team to ever go 5-0-0 when trailing in every game. POWER PLAYEdmonton’s power play is one fire, scoring seven goals on 17 chances to sit second in the NHL. TORRID PACEAfter scoring one goal in his first game back, Connor McDavid has been tearing it up. With Edmonton’s top line counting for 11 goals in five games, shutting them down will be a key to beating the Oilers. The Hawks will still have to worry about James Neal and the Edmonton power play, but stopping McDavid and his linemates five-on-five is a start.
