On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Tom Gazzola of the Oilers Pre and Postgame joins the show to preview tonight's game against Edmonton. We look at the ways the Oilers improved their overall team depth and players who have stepped up so far this year. We also look at how Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have somehow played at an all time high level so far this season. We also look at some of the areas where the Oilers have struggled, including in 5 on 5 play which is one of the biggest areas of strength for the Wild. We discuss how the Oilers like to play a faster tempo but struggle against more physical teams. We finish by looking at some areas that could be key to the win for either team, and which former Wild coach has the best chance to turn their new team around: Bruce Boudreau in Vancouver or Mike Yeo in Philadelphia.
