If the Oilers are going to be the best, they’ll have to beat the best and that makes tonight’s matchup against the Colorado Avalanche another important test. The last time these two clubs met up, the Oilers played very well but ultimately ended up coming up short in OT. If the Oilers play at their best, I see no reason why they shouldn’t be able to even up the season series. The President’s Trophy winner for the NHL’s best record carries home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs. Not-So-Obvious Game Day Prediction: The Oilers are perfect on the PK and the PP in a game when they need them the most.
