I think the Oilers will try to match first lines because the Flames don't have the muscle on that line to deal with Lucic and I see the Flames trying to get Backlund out against McDavid whenever they can. If we can get the first or second lines out against that Oiler's third line I think that's where the damage can be done.

That's what I noticed last year. Hoping to see more of that this year. Agree looking forward to the matchups and what the coaching strategies will be.
