Edmonton at Calgary, HNIC, 8:00 PM

A Time for Redemption?
Exactly like this one.

The Oilers had a great October, the Flames, well, didn't.
All of a sudden,  the Flames are now three points back of the Oilers.

Chaos should now ensue.

Lines/Injuries
Taylor Hall continues to be out for the Oilers. He, by all accounts, should be back conscious and kicking rear end by Thursday in Phoenix.

Sounds good.

Oilers Lineup

Sam Gagner-Ryan Nugent-Hopkins-Jordan Eberle
Ryan Smyth-Shaun Horcoff-Ales Hemsky
Ben Eager-Eric Belanger-Ryan Jones
Darcy Hordichuk-Anton Lander-Lennart Petrell
Ladislav Smid-Tom Gilbert
Ryan Whitney-Jeff Petry
Theo Peckham-Colten Teubert
Khabibulin might actually get the nod tonight over Dubnyk. Be careful not to ride him out.

Predictions!!
Glorious Prediction - Last night, my glorious prediction was the goose-egg shy of a bundle of glory. Tonight, I predict an Eberle-tastic night. RNH finds himself atop the point categories for a fleeting few seconds with his second straight multi-point night - getting himself 4 assists as the Oilers roll over the Flames in the Saddledome 7-2.
Realistic Prediction - Now that the glory is out of the way, I expect the Oilers to put everything into this game. Why? Because they didn't last week. Change is going to come, and Nugent Hopkins will be the reason for it. Oilers take this one 3-2 in OVERTIME.
ELPH Prediction - It's gonna be bad. The Oilers are going to be gassed by the third period and watch the lead that Samwise had carefully crafted disappear. 4-2 Flames, with Bourque getting the empty-netter with over a minute to go.
