The Chicago Blackhawks will be looking for their first win in eight games as they take on the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday night. This is Chicago’s final match in a three-game homestead against Canadian teams while Edmonton is on the first of back-to-back road games.
Despite having one of the best offensive duos in the league and a top-10 goal-scoring rate, Edmonton is currently sitting fourth in the Pacific Division with a negative goal differential. They’ve won their last two outings — a pair of 4-3 wins, first against the New York Rangers last Saturday and then against the Florida Panthers Monday — but they’d lost seven out of the 10 games prior to that.
