Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks
When the Edmonton Oilers open their season on the road against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night, they already will be thinking about how they want the campaign to end.The Oilers appeared on their way to at least making the Stanley Cup Finals late last season. They ended the regular season on a nine-game winning streak but ran into an ever hotter and hungrier Vegas Golden Knights team in the Western Conference semifinals and were eliminated in six games.
McDavid, 26, led the way with a career-high 153 points , which was the 15th-highest total in a single season in league history. Only two players have accumulated 160 points in a season: Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux ."I think we're in a good spot," McDavid said."We've handled everything that's been thrown our way here at camp. I feel like we're starting to see things that we want to see out of our game.
"Where we're at with certain situations, it's a necessary thing to happen," Edmonton coach Jay Woodcroft said of playing short one forward."We have a couple of healthy situations, and we want to make sure we give ourselves the most flexibility possible in order for us to field the best lineup on opening night."They assigned center Nils Aman to the AHL and waived winger Jack Studnicka.
The season opener will also be the first game as team captain for Vancouver defenseman Quinn Hughes, who was awarded the title on Sept. 11.
