Edmonton Oilers preview

The Edmonton Oilers are 38-21-2 and second in the Pacific Division. Edmonton is coming off a 4-2 road loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, which snapped their five-game winning streak.

The Oilers have done some work before the deadline, acquiring Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick.

"What I like about the deal is we're adding two players and both are versatile," Oilers GM Ken Holland said (via Sportsnet). "Both penalty kill. Adam shoots left and can play left wing or centre. Maybe he tries right wing. So we think we got some versatility.

"We're trying to win now. We're trying to get deeper. The time is now. That's why we're doing these things."

Edmonton is 18-12 on the road with a +6 goal differential.
