It says a lot when the Flames are missing a number 2 shut down center, and a number 1 blueliner and had played a bunch of games in short order including one against an actual hockey team the night before, and the oilers barely scrapped by.
The Oilers are running on a coach bump, a softer schedule and some breaks.
The problem is when things start settling back to their norn, they don't have the bench strength to pull back out.
