New Jersey Devils vs. Edmonton Oilers preview

The struggling Edmonton Oilers head to Newark's Prudential Center looking to shake off their road woes, having dropped four of their last five away games including Tuesday's frustrating loss to Buffalo.

While Connor McDavid hasn't quite hit last season's otherworldly numbers, he's still been dangerous with 82 points, though it's Leon Draisaitl who's been the real force lately - racking up nine points in his last five games to lead the NHL in goals.

The Devils, despite missing Jack Hughes for the rest of the season, have found their groove with back-to-back wins and eight goals in their last two games - thanks largely to Jesper Bratt heating up at just the right time.

Edmonton's goaltending troubles continue to be their Achilles' heel, with Stuart Skinner posting a sub-.900 save percentage, while the Devils' Jacob Markstrom has been rock-solid between the pipes with a sparkling 2.36 GAA.

The Devils' penalty kill, ranked 5th in the league, will be put to the test against Edmonton's potent power play unit, though the Oilers have been surprisingly quiet lately, managing just three or fewer goals in four of their last five outings.

This cross-conference clash feels like a real momentum-swinger for both teams - the Oilers desperate to right the ship on their four-game road trip, while the Devils aim to build on their recent success despite missing key pieces.
