NEWSLETTER
The Oilers won in St. Louis last night and the Blackhawks were off, which could (in theory) give Chicago an advantage — especially at home. And the Hawks are riding a four-game win streak. But… the Oilers have two of the five best offensive players on the planet in Connor McDavid (aka McJesus) and Leon Draisaitl. Can the Blackhawks stay hot or will the Oilers end their win streak?
