It's just too good of a story not to win tonight really. The Oilers and the Flames seasons are seemingly headed in opposite directions, and with a win in regulation tonight, the Flames would jump above the Oilers in the standings for the first time this season. Couple that with a Nashville win over the Pens and that would push the Oilers to the very brink of falling below the playoff cutoff.
It's such a delicious scenario that you just know that the Flames are incredibly likely to royally crap the bed entirely, getting shut out by Mike Smith in the process.
