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. All right, let's go. Welcome, everybody. Bob Stauffer joining you. Rogers plays the Seattle Krakener in town, the world's best player, though maybe not the best player in the NHL this season. Conor McDavid back in the lineup, and tonight lining up beside the guy who's having an unreal year, Leon Dreisaitl. This is Oilers Now. It is brought to you by World of Spas, and we're in the PlayAlberta Broadcast Center, playalberta.ca. When you play in Alberta, it stays in Alberta. Please. Play responsibly. Brennan Escott, our producer, is back at the 880 Chet Studios along with our two technical producers for today's show, Derek Scott and Kellen Kennedy.
We'll have a preview of tonight's game, review of the victory against Buffalo. We'll talk a little about... the NFL and a little about NHL rivalries and maybe how it's different if you're at Edmonton versus, say, Calgary and Vancouver. We'll get to that in the first half hour. We'll have a brief conversation with Ty Emerson, who's starting to take on an accelerated role here. Daily Face-Off's Frank Cervelli to discuss the big trade that was made with the Colorado Avalanche and the Carolina Hurricanes. That's at 435 at 505 today. Mac T on Monday with Craig Metavish. We'll update our farm report with Condors head coach Colin Schoch as well. The River Cree Resort and Casino hotline, by the way, is 780-451-8800.
I highly recommend Italia at the River Cree. I was there last night watching the first half of the game. Chiefs-Bills game with my man Mitch. It was awesome. And speaking of the River Korea, they've got Grits and Glamour, Pam Tillis and Lori Morgan March the 21st at the River Korea. Tickets at therivercareeresort.com. And you can text us on the Ashley Five Floors text line 780-451-8800. Find the new floors you always wanted, 143rd Street, 111th Avenue, or head to ashleyfivefloors.com for more information. I probably did not. Let me deal with that shortly here. Thank you very much. Our top story for Legacy Heating and Cooling, home of no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy Heating and Cooling.
The big man himself, Connor McDavid, back after a three-game suspension. The Edmonton Oilers, by the way, for the second time this year, don't have McDavid for a three-game run. He was injured earlier this year. Think about what the Oilers did. You know, they went 2-1 when McDavid was out with the ankle injury, decisively winning in Nashville, and then beating Calgary when maybe Edmonton was trying to round into form a little bit. And then on the second of back-to-backs, despite out-shooting New Jersey 32-14, they lost at home 3-0. New Jersey's a good team. And by the way, Calgary aren't a bad team this year either. This time, the three-game absence for Connor McDavid for the suspension. The Oilers outshoot the Washington Capitals 32-14.
end up suffering a 3-2 tight loss, then blow out the Vancouver Canucks 6-2, and then take care of business 3-2. So the Oilers basically go 4-2 and could have won the other two games. This is a sign of an ongoing maturation of the hockey club.
How did the Oilers manage to win without Connor McDavid during his suspension?

And, yeah, it should be a good time. But first, a recap of the Oilers' victory Saturday afternoon against Buffalo.
The Oilers at home. They host the Buffalo Sabres for a Saturday afternoon tilt. Skinner's got it in the slot. He'll wait. Pass to Kapanen. Shot! And the save made by Reimer.
