This is Oilers Now, the Edmonton Oilers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. And the Oilers have been very good against Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh has had a real good season. Should be a beauty. We're live at Rogers Place. We're in Ice District, and we've got a jam-packed edition of Oilers Now brought to you by World of Spas.

Of young developing Oilers prospects on the farm, the Bakersfield Condors are now 9-0-1 in their last 10 games.

That's the ability of Legacy Heating and Cooling. And the Oilers take on the Penguins. Here's the hard numbers. Edmonton is 8-1 since we started playing with every team in the league again coming out of the 2020 season. 2021 Scotiabank North Division went back to the regular NHL schedule. The owners have gone 8-1 against Pittsburgh, outscoring them 46-16. This is a team that Conor Mc... So many times teams get up to play Conor McDavid and Leon Drysaddle. This is a team that... And I've spoken to, you know... Some of the Oilers' best players about this. They've got an immense amount of respect for Sidney Crosby and Evgeny Malkin. Edmonton plays well against Pittsburgh. They're going to need to. The Oilers, by the way, 8-1 in those games.
They've outscored the Penguins 46-16. 24 points for Connor McDavid in those nine games total. 8-1 the one loss record. The only loss the Oilers had was last year in Pittsburgh in a game in which they outshot the Penguins 43-26. Oh, by the way, Tristan Jari will start... I was under the assumption that they would alternate starts for the goaltenders until next week. Instead, they've elected to go back-to-back with Tristan Jari. We will not see Stuart Skinner tonight. Well, actually, there's an outside chance we could. I would say unlikely, given the fact that Skinner played very well last night for the Pittsburgh Penguins in Calgary. Archer Shelofs, he of the goaltending matchup, Edmonton and Vancouver.
In the playoffs last two years ago, game six and seven. Whatever happens after that series, by the way. Well, that's a whole other story. So that is one of the storylines. There could be another potential storyline tonight as well. We'll have to monitor that situation. Here we go. Let's get right to it. It's the owners now out of your vault for.
