The Edmonton Oilers took it to the Calgary Flames last night, defeating them 7-2 at Rogers Place. Granted, it was a weakened Calgary team going up against an Oilers roster close to full strength. Edmonton got goal contributions from Connor Brown twice, Lane Pederson, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane, and Raphael Lavoie. Between the pipes, Stuart Skinner stopped 18 of 20 shots in his three appearances of the exhibition season.
The biggest storyline coming out of the game was the play of Raphael Lavoie. Last night was hands down his best of the pre-season, which should help him crack the opening night roster. Liam Horrobin was at the game, so he will break down what he saw from the Oilers former second-round pick.
Continuing with the show, Frank Seravalli from Daily Faceoff joins Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam for his weekly hit. Yesterday, Frank broke the news on his Twitter about the salary cap increase following the board of governors meetings. Also coming from those meetings was the potential addition of more expansion teams joining the NHL, with cities like Houston, Quebec City and Atlanta all being name-dropped. On top of that, Frank will give us the latest updates from around the NHL and your Edmonton Oilers, including the health of Mattias Ekholm and Ryan McLeod.
Yesterday afternoon, the Toronto Blue Jays season ended after losing two straight games to the Minnesota Twins—a disappointing end to an underwhelming season. Tyler will give his thoughts on the series and the future for the Blue Jays players and its management team.

All the same we still made it competitive for a bit
Tyler is adopted
Brown and mcdavid but also on their wing is Kane…this is going to be a terrifying line!
Im loving Gleason!…he looks so good defensively and offensively…he’s a keeper!
I’m with you on jack Campbell…he’s looking really good and skinner not so much!
