Edmonton Oilers News & Notes:
While the Edmonton Oilers are second in the Pacific Division, they don’t focus on the regular season. With the recent news of Evander Kane’s injury setback, the Oilers could have plenty of cap space to make a move at the deadline. Edmonton can make a significant addition(s) to their roster.
Colorado Avalanche News & Notes:
Colorado is currently in ‘hang on’ mode. They’re in the first Wild Card position in the Western Conference and 2 points behind the Dallas Stars for third in the Central Division standings. The Avalanche haven’t been shy about making moves early this season, but can they make a few more to push them over the edge?
