Players To Watch:

Calgary Flames

35-year-old centerman Nazem Kadri leads his team with 37 points through 55 games this season, and has 5 points through his last 10 games. Against the Oilers in his career, he has 23 points through 29 games.

Edmonton Oilers

26-year-old defenseman Evan Bouchard is third on his team in points with 60 through 57 games this season and tied for first among all defensemen. Two Saturdays ago, he became the first NHL defenseman since Bobby Orr to record 6 points and 8 shots on net in a single game. When his defense partner, Mattias Ekholm, had a three-goal game two days later, the Oilers became the first NHL team to have a defenseman record a hat-trick in two straight games.
