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. for joining you live at location Rogers Place, 8th floor in Ice District. It is the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks. This is Oilers Now, final regular season game of the year for Edmonton. It's simple. If the Oilers win tonight against the worst team in the NHL, the Canucks playing out the string, 25-48-8, Edmonton 40-30-11. The Oilers will claim second spot in the Pacific Division, and they would host... Either the Anaheim Ducks or the Los Angeles Kings starting Monday night best of seven in a round one seven game series. Now, if they lose tonight in regulation and one of those other two teams ends up winning, the Oilers can be reeled in.

How does Edmonton's playoff positioning depend on tonight's game?

Bob Stauffer 0:54
And there could be a scenario where Edmonton would have to fly off and go to Denver, Colorado and play Sunday night to open up the playoffs. Edmonton with 91 points. Anaheim and L.A. with 90 each. Again, the Oilers win. They claim second. Let's just look at things from a positive perspective. Here's what we got coming up. Jetpack show. Chris Knobloch, Oilers head coach in 39 seconds time.

Bob Stauffer 2:54
Joined by Evans Oilers head coach Chris Knobloch. Final regular season game of the year. You know you're in the playoffs. and you can decide where you are in the playoffs. So win tonight here, and you end up in a situation where you're hosting an opening round playoff series. So obviously lots to play for for your group tonight.
Chris Knobloch 3:14
Yeah, great situation for us. The game means something for us. We are wanting to play our best going into the playoffs. It's not a game where we can take lightly. And, yeah, we want to have home ice advantage and dictate who we play. So, yeah, it'll be a big game time.
Bob Stauffer 3:31
There are six 50-goal scores in the NHL over the last three seasons, including this year. You have two of them, Leon Drysaddle and Zach Hyman. You get one of them back tonight, Zach Hyman.

How has Vancouver's season impacted their current gameplay?

Bob Stauffer 3:44
Obviously, you've missed a bit of his net front presence and what he brings.
Chris Knobloch 3:46
Oh, absolutely. Especially the last two games where I think our teams played well. We've been able to put pucks in the net and who better to add to our lineup than Zach Hyman to put away a puck, whether it's on the 5-on-5 or the power play.
Bob Stauffer 3:59
Connor McDavid is up by seven points on Nate McKinnon, so barring a ridiculously good night for McKinnon, there's a chance that Connor's going to win the Art Ross Trophy, but he's at 48 goals.
