Oilers, Coyotes get together looking to ease concerns

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Arizona Coyotes' concern is all those days off. The Edmonton Oilers' concern is all those games off at least offensively, that is.

The Oilers, unable to generate much momentum with their season now more than halfway over, play back-to-back road games this weekend against teams coming off their bye weeks -- the Coyotes on Friday and the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.

What they don't know is if it's an advantage they're going against teams that might be a bit rusty, or a disadvantage because the Coyotes will be well-rested, having not played since a 2-1 shootout loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday.
