The Edmonton Oilers will host the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night at Rogers Place, with puck drop scheduled for 8:00 PM MT. The Oilers are coming off a 6-3 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets, while the Blues won in overtime against the Calgary Flames with a final score of 4-3.
On November 19, the Oilers claimed Kapanen off waivers from the Blues due to injuries to two of their top six forwards, Zach Hyman and Viktor Arvidsson. Kapanen has made a strong all-around contribution to the team, recording one goal and one assist in six games.
Additionally, tonight’s game marks the return of Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to northern Alberta. Both players signed offer sheets with the Blues during the offseason and are experiencing career-best seasons. Broberg has recorded 12 points (2 goals, 10 assists) in 15 games, while Holloway has tallied 16 points (8 goals, 8 assists). Will Holloway and Broberg be “booed” by the fans come tonight, or will they receive cheers? I hope the Edmonton fans don’t “boo” them, but we will see come tonight.
