Edmonton Oilers make a major shake up after their early season struggles
The Edmonton Oilers are playing against the Nashville Predators tonight & head coach Kris Knoblauch has made a big change to his line-up.
The Oilers are having a rough start to their season with just one win in their first four games. However they are coming off an overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers & hope to build on the momentum tonight on the road.
In a surprise move Knoblauch is giving goagltender Calvin Pickard his first start of the season. It's a gamble but it could bring some fresh energy to the team. Pickard will need support from the rest of the team especially on defense. Key players like Connor McDavid & Leon Draisaitl will be counted on to keep up the offensive pressure.
The Nashville Predators are also struggling losing their first three games of the season. Their coach Andrew Brunette says the team is still trying to find chemistry even though they're putting in effort. After a tough 7-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken, the Predators are hungry for their first win, especially in front of their home fans.
Historically, the Oilers have done well against the Predators, but they can't take this game lightly. Both teams really need a win tonight as the Oilers need to improve their season & the Predators need to get their first victory. How this game goes could impact the rest of the season for both sides.
