EDMONTON, AB - If Tuesday night was the dress rehearsal, the Oilers are trending in the right direction for when the curtain goes up on the Stanley Cup Qualifiers this Saturday.
Playing their first game since the fateful March 11 night when North American pro sports came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oilers cruised past the provincial rival Calgary Flames 4-1 in their lone exhibition match during Phase 4 of the NHL's Return To Play schedule.
