What are the Edmonton Oilers' playoff prospects ahead of the game against the Colorado Avalanche?
Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. This is Oilers Now on 880-CHED for our friends at World of Spas. We are a nice district at Rogers Place where the Edmonton Oilers take on the league's best team. They are the Colorado Avalanche. The Oilers are in the playoffs. Some might argue they backdoored their way in, losing a hard-fought 1-0 game in Los Angeles. We've got lots of topics to talk about just from that game alone. But the Edmonton Oilers are in a spot where if they win their final two games against tonight Colorado, which will not be an easy task, and against Vancouver, they're going to play the best team in the league and the worst in the next two games.
But if Edmonton wins those two games, no matter what, The Oilers will open up at home in round one of the playoffs. And it is still possible that if they win both games and Vegas drops a point, that the Edmonton Oilers, in theory, would be in a situation where they'd come in top spot in the Pacific Division, winning a divisional title for the first time since 1987. Of course, the Oilers would win Stanley Cups in 88 and 1990. Beatle a Stanley Cup three more times in 06 and, of course, in 24 and 25.
What updates are there on the Oilers' injury report before the game?
We will tell you that guests on today's show, Frank Cervalli today at 435 from Frankly Hockey and Oilers legend Mac T on Monday, Craig McTavish from 5 until 6 today.

Our top story for legacy heating and cooling home and old payments to no interest for one year. That's how you build a legacy. Well, we will tell you that the Oilers got a little bit of an update on a multitude of fronts injury-wise, which is actually we're going to go fairly quickly into our injury report for James H. Brown and Associates Alberta Injury Lawyers. The heavy hitters of injury law, Trent Brown, heavy hitter in the CFL football days with the then-named Edmonton Eskimos, a two-time All-Star and a great cop. Leon Dreisaitl was on the ice today. He's on LTIR with a lower body injury.
Uncertain as to when Dreisaitl returns, the hope is for the start of the playoffs. Zach Hyman was back on the ice today, too.
How did the Oilers perform in their recent game against the LA Kings?
He's been out, missed a few games in a row here. I think 100% he plays the opening game of the playoffs. Do not have an update and clarity on Jason Dickinson. Chris Knobloch spoke today, and he will miss the final two games after getting hit with a puck in the leg. No timeline given to Jason Dickinson. Max Jones tried to make a hit Saturday in L.A. He is going to be out, I believe Chris said, three weeks. Of course, Janmark is out as well with shoulder surgery of interest. And we'll get to this when we do the game day lineup report. Spencer Stashny was off the ice fairly quickly today. Made me wonder whether or not there might be a tweak with one of the D as well. As the Oilers get ready to take on the Colorado Avalanche.
The Avalanche will not have Kale McCarr. nor Josh Manson, no Nazem Qadri. Qadri has a finger injury. McCarr is expected to play tomorrow in Calgary. He is with the team. Manson and Qadri did not travel. So that gives you a bit of an update on the injury front because it is a big part of the storyline tonight. All righty. The Oilers took on the LA Kings as we head into the Oilers now. Audio Vault 4, direct workwear.
