Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton's projected lineup for game against New York Islanders

Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will look to snap a two-game losing streak when they face off with the New York Islanders in their third of four straight road games. Tonight's game will also notably serve as the second leg of a back-to-back after Edmonton dropped a 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils last night.

As it turns out, Edmonton isn't the only one heading into tonight's game amid a two-game skid. On the flip side, the Islanders are heading into tonight's game after losing back-to-back games against the Anaheim Ducks and the LA Kings.

The Oilers are third in the Pacific Division, just one point behind the second-place Kings. If Edmonton wins tonight and LA loses its next game, the Oilers can move into second in the divisional standings.
