The Edmonton Oilers head into Friday’s game on a four-game winning streak, having beating the Washington Capitals 4-1 on Wednesday, the Winnipeg Jets 3-0 in Sunday’s Heritage Classic, 3-1 over the St. Louis Blues on Oct. 20 and 3-2 over the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 18.

The Vancouver Canucks have earned one point in their last three games, having lost to the Ottawa Senators 3-0 on Tuesday, 4-2 to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday and 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday to the Los Angeles Kings.

Who To Watch — Oilers goalie Cam Talbot

He’s given up four goals in his last four games and stopped 130 of 134 shots against Carolina, St. Louis, Winnipeg and Washington.

After surrendering 13 goals in his first three outings, he’s got his goal average down to 2.49 and his save percentage is now .927.

He probably won’t get a breather until the five-game road trip next week that starts in Toronto, then goes to the Rangers and Islanders.
