The Flames and Oilers open their preseason tonight, continuing a bitter rivalry that has been going 41 years strong. These two teams each met 10 times last year in the All-Canadian North Division, with the Flames losing 6 of the ten meetings, but they did have a 3-2-0 record at the Saddledome. In the end this game really means nothing. It’s one of eight preseason games, two of which feature the Oilers.
Each team had some significant additions in the offseason, with the Flames adding back to back Stanley Cup Champion Blake Coleman and Edmonton bringing in former Flames forward Derek Ryan.
