The Minnesota Wild continue to search for their first Canadian win as they take on Edmonton tonight in the newly minted Rogers Place. Named after Canadian hero Fred Rogers, Edmonton’s new arena comes fully-loaded with all the latest Canadian technology: disco balls, confetti cannons, and 8-track tape decks throughout the press box, and the dress code for the press box mandates denim jean pants with a jean jacket overcoat.
Edmonton sits second in the Pacific Division at 14-10-2 and 30 points. The Oilers are just one point behind division-leaders San Jose who have one fewer games played. Edmonton leads the division and is second in the Western Conference in goal differential at +11.
