The Oilers are in a tough spot here. They just upset the Blackhawks, 2-1 in overtime on the road Thursday. Now they have to play here at an early start time. So it's almost like a back-to-back situation. It's especially rough for a visiting Western Conference team to play a day game in an Eastern time zone.

Philadelphia has won eight of its last 10 home games. The Flyers, though, were shut out, 1-0, by Nashville in their last home game two days ago.

However, the Flyers had won their two previous home games this season in convincing fashion destroying the Capitals, 8-2, and Panthers, 5-1.

Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot hasn't been real sharp this season.
