Edmonton Oilers (10-2-0)
@ Buffalo Sabres (5-5-2)
Starting Goalies:
Stuart Skinner (EDM): Confirmed
Dustin Tokarski (BUF): Confirmed
Current odds:
Edmonton Oilers: (-170)
Buffalo Sabres: (+150)
• The high-octane Edmonton Oilers look to continue their sizzling start to the season on Friday night when they visit the Buffalo Sabres. Leon Draisaitl collected two third-period goals — the tying and go-ahead tallies — to go with an assist while captain Connor McDavid extended his season-opening point streak to 12 games in Edmonton’s 5-3 victory over the host Boston Bruins on Thursday.
• Draisaitl, the reigning NHL First Star of the Week, has NHL-best totals in goals (12) and points (26). McDavid has nine and 24, respectively. He also has a point in each of his last 20 regular-season appearances dating back to May 1. Impressive numbers to be certain, even if Draisaitl said the Oilers’ victory on Thursday was anything but aesthetically pleasing.
• Taken at face value, Edmonton has scored at least five goals in eight of its 12 games. One of the Oilers’ four outliers came in the opener of their five-game road trip, a 4-2 setback at the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday.
• Mikko Koskinen made 26 saves while competing for the ninth time in his last 10 games.
• Like Edmonton, Buffalo enjoyed a sterling start to the season. But unlike the Oilers, the Sabres have seen the bottom fall out. After a 5-1-1 beginning to the campaign, Buffalo has lost five straight (0-4-1).
• Tage Thompson didn’t dent the scoresheet against the Capitals; however, that didn’t diminish his confidence. The 2016 first-round pick has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last seven games and leads the Sabres forwards in average ice time (17:54) on the season.
• Sabres leading goal scorer Victor Olofsson is expected to miss his fifth straight game since sustaining an undisclosed injury during practice on Nov. 1.
