Does this have to do with TV audiences, or where more money comes from? Or is it just a "fluke" of the schedule that it looks this way?
Entirely.

Im actually stunned there is a Saturday that the Leafs aren't on.

As for the Oilers and Ottawa...i think both were expected to be among the best in the league by execs this year which also draws eyeballs to the tv's which is how they set their ad rates.
