EDMONTON, AB - Another Battle of Alberta? Absolutely!

While it certainly won't bring the same level of intensity as their raucous regular season meetings, the Oilers and Calgary Flames will face off in an exhibition game on Tuesday, July 28 ahead of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

All 16 teams participating in the Qualifying Round will play one exhibition game on either July 28, 29 or 30, in anticipation of the best-of-five playoff matchups that will begin Saturday, Aug. 1.
