The “Battle of Alberta” heats up again as Edmonton travels to Calgary for the sixth meeting this season: The second game of this two game series takes place Wednesday night as Calgary will look to sweep the series after defeating the Oilers 4-3 on Monday.
Calgary enters this game on a three-game home win streak. This is tied for their longest win streak all season and is their longest home win streak of the season. Edmonton enters this game after back-to-back losses, which ended their four-game win streak.
Connor McDavid leads the League in points with 53 in 31 games play. The last players to record 100 points in 56 or fewer games were Mario Lemieux (38 GP) and Jaromir Jagr (52 GP) in 1995-96. McDavid (1st) and Leon Draisaitl (2nd) are the top two players in the NHL this season for points
