The Edmonton Oilers will welcome the Nashville Predators, to the Rexall
Place, for some hard hitting NHL action.
The Nashville Predators are coming off a recent win in Vancouver,
in which they shut’em out 3-0. The Preds got goals from Ryan
Suter, Jerred Smithson and Jason Arnott. They’ve greatly improved
on their defense, offense and their bread and butter, their power
play. Their offense is scoring an average of 2.5 goals, but with the
superb goaltending from Dan Ellis, it’s no wonder why they’re
winning. Dan Ellis is 3-0 with a 1.44 GAA, and a .947% rating. He’s
also recorded 2 shutouts so far. The main man for the Preds is David
Legwand, who’s got 11 points and he’s put the most shots
on net, 41. Top goal producers are Jason Arnott, David Legwand and
Radek Bonk all with 4 goals. The Preds are 1-5 on the road and they’re
currently at the bottom of the Central Standings.
The Edmonton Oilers don’t have much in the way of game, besides
a decent penalty kill and a good face off percentage. They’re
averaging 2.4 goals a game and they seem to have troubles putting
the puck on net. While they have problems scoring, their opponents
don’t. Goalie Dwayne Rollson is 3-7 with a 2.99 GAA and a .897%
save percentage. The main man for the Oilers is Shawn Horcoff with
11 points, and Raffi Torres leads with 40 shots on net. Other producers
for the Oil are Ales Hemsky and Andrew Cogliano with 3 goals apiece.
The Oilers are currently 3-3 at home and they stand tied at the bottom
of the Northwest Standings.
Bottom Line: The Predators are coming off a good
win in Vancouver, thanks in part to great goaltending from Dan Ellis.
With a hot keeper and the Oilers inability to score, let’s
see if the Preds can better their road record. Let’s go Predators!

Nashville in the midst of a Canadien road swing are on a back to
backer tonite in Oiler country for a battle of Western Conference
cellar dwellers. Predators looked good last night grabbing their
1st road victory of the season, or better said, the Canucks looked
bloody awful! That's another story for another day.....I digress,
the Oilers are coming in off a respectable 2-1 home loss to the
red hot Red Wings Wed nite. They have played pretty good at home
thus far this year with a win over Flyers, and two shootout wins
over the Sharks and Wild. They seem to be playing better of late
as a TEAM, with an impressive shootout win at Anaheim earlier in
the week.
Bottom Line: They have also gotten an emotional
boost in recent days with the return of Fernando Pissani to the
practrice ice after battling a severe case of colitis, and news
that free agent signe e Sheldon Souray is close to returning as
well. This game for me comes down to this, certain teams just cannot
be trusted on the road in the NHL this year, and the Predators are
at the top of that list in the early stages of the 07-08 season!
You should not trust them either!
Final: Oilers 4 Predators 2
