It was a spirited start to three days of exhibition games in Edmonton and at the bubble in Toronto. Each of the 24 teams in the Stanley Cup Qualifiers -- 12 in the Western Conference and 12 in the Eastern Conference -- has one exhibition game to shake off the rust before the postseason begins. So this was the lone tune-up for the fifth-seeded Oilers, who play the 12th-seeded Chicago Blackhawks in Game 1 of their best-of-5 series Saturday (3 p.m. ET; NBC, SN), and for the eighth-seeded Flames, who play the ninth-seeded Winnipeg Jets in Game 1 of their qualifier Saturday (10:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, NHL.TV, CBC, SN).
