PRE-GAME REPORT

EDMONTON, AB - The Oilers return to Rogers Place to face the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday after a successful two-game road trip, beating the Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks in back-to-back games this past weekend to improve to 6-3-1 through their first 10 contests.
Three-straight wins follow the Oilers into the matchup to put team confidence at a high after a difficult first stretch of games to begin the 2018-19 NHL season.
"We've found some chemistry with some lines and some pairs, and you can also sense the renewed confidence in the room," Oilers Head Coach Todd McLellan said after today's morning skate. "But the past doesn't dictate the future. Just because you've won three in a row doesn't guarantee four. We'll have some work ahead of us tonight and I expect us to show up and find a way to win this one as well."
The Wild pose another dangerous threat at 6-3-2 and having won five of their last six games after their five-game streak was snapped in last night's 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Forward Mikael Granlund's 10-game point streak (5G, 5A) leads the way in recent games for the visitors, with defenceman Ryan Suter's 10 points (3G, 7A) and left-wing Zach Parise's 11 points (3G, 8A) topping the team's points tally this season.
Goaltender Alex Stalock looks to be getting the nod in goal over Devan Dubnyk for the Wild against Cam Talbot in their second game of a back-to-back that begins their longest road trip in franchise history. Minnesota won't play at home until they face the Washington Capitals on November 13.
"Minnesota has always had a very good systematic team approach to the game," McLellan continued.
"They've won five of their last six and beat some really good teams. I think they're solid over all three zones, they can get tremendous goaltending, and they're penalty kill is exceptional. So that will be a big challenge for us. The backend is a challenge in their ability to defend and jump in on the rush."
The Oilers potent power play clicking at a rate of 25 percent (9-for-36) meets a Wild penalty kill that sits seventh in the league and has also contributed three shorthanded goals this season.
"I think we have lots of speed, so we're trying to play fast and win the special teams battles," right-winger Tobias Rieder said. "I think we've done a good job of that in the last couple of games, and that's what we're trying to do again. We've been pretty good defensively and scored some good goals, so we're just trying to keep that going now."
CHEMISTRY BUILDING
After scoring the game winner against the Blackhawks in overtime, McDavid heaped praise on the fourth line consisting of Jujhar Khaira, Kyle Brodziak, and Zack Kassian.
"We call them the fourth line, but tonight they were the first line," McDavid said back on Sunday from the United Center. "They were unbelievable - all three of them. The way they were able to create chances, bang one in, and get in on the forecheck and create havoc for us, I thought this was their best game all season."
Kassian notched the only Oilers goal in regulation as the energy line imposed itself on the game to help the Oilers earn their third-straight win. Left-wing Jujhar Khaira spoke to the uptick in influence from he and his linemates and the altered mindset early this season in the locker room.
"Our line feels good," Khaira said. "I think even a couple games before that we were trending in the right direction. Against Chicago we were rewarded and I thought the whole team played well. We were lucky enough to get that one, and we'll try to build off that and just be effective every night.
"I think everybody is feeling good. Right now we're playing some good hockey, everyone is buying in, and just the mentality is a lot different than last year. We know we're a good team and it's nice when we play like it, so we just need to keep trending in the right direction and we'll be fine."

Tobias Rieder, who's strung together a good start to the season with five helpers in 10 games, has been effective along his German countryman Leon Draisaitl through the first difficult stretch. Alex Chiasson is finding his place among them on the second line, scoring three goals with a plus/minus of five in five games.
"I think it's getting better and better," Rieder added. "I've got to know the players on the team a little more, how they play, and obviously found a little bit of chemistry with [Chiassson] and [Draisaitl] on that line. We're just trying to keep moving forward."
In the search for more secondary scoring, McLellan believes the two Germans and Chiasson have found a good working relationship on the ice that provides a positive combination for the Oilers.
"It's not because [Leon and Tobias] are German, but they seem to communicate well together about where they should be on the ice and what will happen," McLellan said. "Tobias is doing a lot of skating for that line and retrieves pucks, Leon keeps plays alive and Alex has been able to shoot when he gets it. The three of them have found some chemistry."
COMPETITION FOR YOUTH
Forward Jesse Puljujarvi will sit out his fourth game in succession tonight as he continues to work his way back into the Oilers lineup.
The forward crops, at this moment, is a hard thing to crack with all lines and players for the Oilers finding ways to contribute in recent games.

"It doesn't just have to be a young player," McLellan said. "It could be Kyle Brodziak who sits out game two of a season after joining a new team as well. You're always concerned about confidence and how that effects players, but I look at Jesse's situation and I've addressed him directly the past few days and I'm addressing Jesse again today.
"He hasn't played a game in five days, and he won't play tonight which isn't ideal, but we have to look at the group and the whole package."
Defence and Evan Bouchard isn't without competition either as McLellan seeks to reward players involved in recent success with more ice time.
"Our group has been performing well and we have to keep rewarding them," McLellan said. "We know that there's a timeline we're working with [with Bouchard], he's played seven games and we'll have to make some decisions moving forward. Some of it's his play as well.
"There's so many things these young players go through on the road and at home. The great thing about Bouch is that he's ready to get better with a smile on his face."
LINEUP NOTES
Bouchard, Marody, and Puljujarvi sit out tonight as McLellan goes with the same lineup against the Wild that defeated the Blackhawks two days prior.

Talbot returns in goal for the Oilers after making 31 saves on 32 shots in Tuesday's victory.
Right-winger Ty Rattie skated at morning practice but remains on IR following an upper body injury sustained back on October 18 versus the Boston Bruins.
