Anyone who is not sick or injured should play tonight.

I know what you're saying because I've been thinking the same thing, but that ship has sailed I think. By clinching early, resting players and not having another game until late next week the break has already happened.
This is a nothing game. Dont risk anything. I'd like to see Johnny hit 100 and I especially want to see the Flames grind the filthy Oil under our bootheels, but not at the risk of injuries.
Realistically the message from the referees to the Oilers early on should be:
"Hey, go polish your golf clubs, lets just do this and get through this and all move along."
