The Edmonton Oilers suffered another tough loss last night, falling 3-2 to the New Jersey Devils in a game that saw them surrender a third-period lead. Despite an outstanding performance from Stuart Skinner, who made several key stops on Devils power plays and odd-man rushes, the Oilers couldn’t close things out when it mattered most. They grabbed a 2-1 lead with 15 minutes left, only to watch it slowly slip away as New Jersey scored two unanswered goals to take control and never look back.

We’ll break down everything that went wrong in the loss with our scoring summary, one big take, and Sherwood Ford Giant Question as we try to figure out why the Oilers continue to struggle in crucial moments.

There’s no time to dwell on the defeat, though, as the Oilers are right back in action tonight, facing the New York Islanders in the second half of a back-to-back. With the team desperate for a win, will we see lineup changes, and who gets the start in goal? We’ll go through all the latest updates in our lineup report and highlight key game notes for tonight’s matchup.

Finally, we’ll close things out with our Bet365 Gameday Betting Challenge, looking at the best plays for Oilers vs. Islanders. Can Edmonton finally turn things around on this road trip? Tune in as we break it all down!

The Edmonton Oilers continue their four-game road trip tonight with a matchup against the New Jersey Devils, looking to put Monday’s embarrassing 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres behind them. The Oilers have struggled for a few weeks now, and with the playoffs fast approaching, they need to find their game—starting tonight. Fortunately, they’ll face a Devils team missing their superstar Jack Hughes, who has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

The big story heading into this one is Jeff Skinner’s promotion to the second line alongside Leon Draisaitl and Viktor Arvidsson. With the Oilers’ offensive production dipping in recent weeks, Skinner will be asked to provide a much-needed spark in the top six. Will this adjustment help Edmonton find the firepower they’ve been missing?

Another major question mark for the Oilers is goaltending. Stuart Skinner has struggled since returning from the 4 Nations Faceoff break, and with a shaky Oilers defense in front of him, they’ll need a big performance from their starter to walk away with two points. Can he step up and deliver a signature win on the road?

We’ll go through all our game day essentials, including the latest lineup report, game notes, and our Sherwood Ford Giant Question. Plus, we’ll close things out with our Gameday Bet365 Betting Challenge, breaking down the best value plays for tonight’s matchup.

Tune in as we get you set for a crucial game in New Jersey!
