Home and no payments, no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy Heating and Cooling. The Edmonton Oilers recalling Quinn Hudson, who is third in the American Hockey League in goals of 19.
He has 16 goals, 17 goals in his last 16 games.
What roster moves did the Oilers make before the matinee and who was recalled from Bakersfield?
And then the highest scoring player in the month of December in the American Hockey League, Isaac Howard, recalling them both. And today at practice, Those two were with Matt Savoy, with Savoy playing center. Savoy playing large portions of the first two months of the year last year down in the American Hockey League when James Hamblin, and Lane Peterson were out with injuries. So that is our top story for Legacy Heating and Cooling as the Oilers get ready for a matinee. It's actually Gen X Day tomorrow. Is that what they call it? Generation Game today? Or Generation Game Special tomorrow. Special Kids Day. And we are going to see the kids line get going. And speaking of a kid line, we can do this.

Tickets at the River Creek Resort dot com. Excitement better. Our question is simple. Your thoughts on the Oilers looking to deploy Howard with Savoy and Hudson on a kid line. That would enable Edmonton to keep their top two lines, one of which is Redhawk. That's the Conor McDavid line along with Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Zach Hyman. Conor McDavid on a 14-game points streak.
He's got 13 goals and 34 points during that stretch. Zach Hyman in his last 11 games has got 10 goals, 16 points, and is plus six. So they're keeping that line together. The others are going to keep Howard – Keep Leon Dreisaitl centering. We think Vasily Petkozhin, though he missed today's practice due to an illness with Jack Roslevic. So they're going to go with the young guns line. They're going to go with the kid line. What do you think of the deployment, potential deployment of the kid line? And when I say the kid line, do you think... Martin Jelena, Adam Graves, and Joe Murphy? Or do you think of Sam Gagne with Andrew Cogliano and Bobby Nielsen, Robert Nielsen? So there you go. A couple different themes for you to jump aboard in our interactive portion to the show.

Chris Knobloch today did an availability. He had this to say on the chance for a Hudson Savoy Howard line.
We haven't decided yet. There's likelihood. There's some benefits to that. And there's some, you know, negatives maybe.
Why are the Oilers testing a ‘kid line’ with Isaac Howard, Quinn Hudson and Matt Savoy?
You know, not having a real, well, an NHL center. He's played it. He's spent most of his time with his professional career. He has not. He's been mostly a right winger and some left wing. Yeah. Now we're giving them a huge opportunity to play center, and whether we do that is something we have to consider. But I guess the positive is three guys that can just play their game.
