Edmonton has won nine of the past 10 meetings and the last five on the road against the Blackhawks. The Oilers have won seven of their past 10 road games and five of seven overall against Western Conference teams. Chicago has lost 47 of its past 62 games after allowing two or fewer goals in its previous game, and the Blackhawks are 16-53 following a win. Chicago's top two goaltenders, Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom, are day-to-day due to an illness. Drew Commesso will fill in if needed. Edmonton won the first meeting this season 3-2 in overtime on Nov. 1. Connor McDavid is enjoying an 18-game point streak for the Oilers, who have won two of three, but look to bounce back after a 4-3 loss in a shootout against Los Angeles on Saturday. Take the Oilers.
