Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton’s projected lineup for game against the Vegas Golden Knights

Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will look to make it two wins in a row when they collide with the Vegas Golden Knights on the road. In their most recent outing, the team snapped a two-game skid by defeating the Calgary Flames 3-2 in OT on Saturday, pushing their record this season to 42-26-5.

While Edmonton's fresh off a win, Vegas is heading into tonight's game in the midst of an impressive six-game win streak, the second longest active win streak of any team in the NHL.

Currently, the Oilers are sitting in third place in the Central Division, seven points ahead of the fourth-placed Calgary Flames, and two points behind the second-placed LA Kings. While the team is sitting on the verge of clinching a spot in the postseason, the big question is where they'll be seeded.
