The Chicago Blackhawks (12-5-3) will look to rebound from a stinker of a game defensively in Calgary on Friday night when they take on the young and dangerous Edmonton Oilers (9-7-2) in Edmonton on Saturday night. The Hawks come in 5-4-1 on the road while Edmonton is 6-2-1 on home ice. The Hawks smashed the Oilers 6-3 at United Center last Sunday night. Jonathan Toews and Steve Montador both had 2 goals in the game. Ryan Smyth, Jordan Eberle, and Shawn Horcoff all tallied for the Oilers. It will be the second of four meetings with the Oilers this season and will be game 3 of the 6 game circus trip. The Hawks won both games against the Oilers in Edmonton last season. Ryan Smyth leads the Oilers with 18 points and 10 goals on the season. Former Hawks net minder Nikolai Khabibulin has been solid in goal with a .937 save percentage and a 1.74 GAA.
