The Canes make their 2nd trip to Edmonton in 3 weeks.
The Canes and Oilers played 2 exhibition games in the last week of September with the Canes winning 6-2 in Edmonton and losing 4-0 in Saskatoon. Teravainen and Staal each had 2, Wallmark and Kuokkanen scored for the Canes. The Canes iced a near starting lineup that night, with Bean in for Fleury on D but the other 5 were starters. Darling had his first action in goal, saving 19 of 21 shots. Since then, goal scoring has been hard to come by, despite a 4 goal explosion against the Wild on opening night. Peters said yesterday that Necas and Jooris will draw into the lineup tonight. Carrick was recalled from Charlotte and TVR was summoned to Edmonton but is still on IR and probably won't play. If he does play, the Canes will have to make a move since they have 23 on the roster already. The skate is coming up momentarily, so we'll see who's playing with whom.
The Oilers put both Leon Draisaitl and Drake Caggiula on IR. Brad Malone was called up to replace Caggiula, so Faulk beware.
