<p>After getting back in the win column with a decisive victory over the Predators, the Edmonton Oilers will make their way down the highway to <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/03/oilers-game-notes-the-battle-of-alberta-shifts-to-calgary/">face off against the Calgary Flames</a> in the second Battle of Alberta of the season.</p>
<p>When the Oilers and Flames first me <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/oilers-lose-third-straight-game-fall-4-1-to-flames-in-another-frustrating-night-at-rogers-place">back in mid-October</a>, it was one of the weirder games you&#8217;ll ever see. Our boys played reasonably well for a good chunk of the night, but things really fell apart in the end after a pair of goals were disallowed for goaltender interference. It was almost like those two goals were life and death for Edmonton, and when the calls didn&#8217;t go their way, there was no other option but to fold the hand and call it a day.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not trying to make excuses about what happened — Gord knows the Oilers didn&#8217;t deserve to win when all was said and done, but I will suggest that having two goals come off the board took the wind out of their sails. There&#8217;s something about struggling to score and getting two called back that can put a team in the fetal position, and I believe that&#8217;s what happened here. Either way, a loss is a loss, and even though it doesn&#8217;t matter how we got there, falling to the Flames was a swift kick to the shins that made the early season losing streak feel even worse.</p>
<p>Tonight, the Oilers will look to replicate the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/10/31/oilers-thoughts-injury-woes-and-needing-a-spark-without-mcdavid/">McDavid-less</a> success they had <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/01/leon-draisaitls-three-point-night-leads-oilers-to-5-1-beatdown-over-the-predators/">against the Predators</a> on Thursday at Bridgestone Arena. The boys were by far the better team in that game from the moment the puck dropped until the final buzzer, which was the exact response we needed to see from them after getting blown out by the Blue Jackets. With goals from Zach Hyman, Viktor Arvidsson, and Corey Perry complimenting a warlord-like performance from Leon Draisaitl, there wasn&#8217;t much the Predators could do to stop them. It was about as good of a road game as you could have hoped.</p>
<p>The Oilers will need another dose of the same in Calgary if they plan on turning Thursday&#8217;s win into a streak. Whether it was Leon Draisaitl&#8217;s first line with Vasily Podkolzin and Viktor Arvidsson to the fourth line with Drake Caggiula, Noah Philp, and Corey Perry, Edmonton was getting productive minutes from throughout the lineup, and I suspect they&#8217;ll need a repeat performance at the Saddledome. The Flames have been fighting above their weight class all season relative to expectations, making them a dangerous out if you&#8217;re not ready to go.</p>
<p>Just when you think Calgary is starting to look like the team we all suspected they would be with the four-game losing streak to wrap up October, they go out and stun the New Jersey Devils with a 3-0 finish. The point here is that the Flames are playing better than a lot of people expected, and the Oilers would be best served to bring their A-game if they plan to avoid losing their first BOA season series since 2019-20.</p>

Edmonton Oilers Leon Draisaitl in Battle of Alberta Calgary Flames

After getting back in the win column with a decisive victory over the Predators, the Edmonton Oilers will make their way down the highway to <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/03/oilers-game-notes-the-battle-of-alberta-shifts-to-calgary/">face off against the Calgary Flames</a> in the second Battle of Alberta of the season.

When the Oilers and Flames first me <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/oilers-lose-third-straight-game-fall-4-1-to-flames-in-another-frustrating-night-at-rogers-place">back in mid-October</a>, it was one of the weirder games you'll ever see. Our boys played reasonably well for a good chunk of the night, but things really fell apart in the end after a pair of goals were disallowed for goaltender interference. It was almost like those two goals were life and death for Edmonton, and when the calls didn't go their way, there was no other option but to fold the hand and call it a day.

I'm not trying to make excuses about what happened — Gord knows the Oilers didn't deserve to win when all was said and done, but I will suggest that having two goals come off the board took the wind out of their sails. There's something about struggling to score and getting two called back that can put a team in the fetal position, and I believe that's what happened here. Either way, a loss is a loss, and even though it doesn't matter how we got there, falling to the Flames was a swift kick to the shins that made the early season losing streak feel even worse.

Tonight, the Oilers will look to replicate the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/10/31/oilers-thoughts-injury-woes-and-needing-a-spark-without-mcdavid/">McDavid-less</a> success they had <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/01/leon-draisaitls-three-point-night-leads-oilers-to-5-1-beatdown-over-the-predators/">against the Predators</a> on Thursday at Bridgestone Arena. The boys were by far the better team in that game from the moment the puck dropped until the final buzzer, which was the exact response we needed to see from them after getting blown out by the Blue Jackets. With goals from Zach Hyman, Viktor Arvidsson, and Corey Perry complimenting a warlord-like performance from Leon Draisaitl, there wasn't much the Predators could do to stop them. It was about as good of a road game as you could have hoped.

The Oilers will need another dose of the same in Calgary if they plan on turning Thursday's win into a streak. Whether it was Leon Draisaitl's first line with Vasily Podkolzin and Viktor Arvidsson to the fourth line with Drake Caggiula, Noah Philp, and Corey Perry, Edmonton was getting productive minutes from throughout the lineup, and I suspect they'll need a repeat performance at the Saddledome. The Flames have been fighting above their weight class all season relative to expectations, making them a dangerous out if you're not ready to go.

Just when you think Calgary is starting to look like the team we all suspected they would be with the four-game losing streak to wrap up October, they go out and stun the New Jersey Devils with a 3-0 finish. The point here is that the Flames are playing better than a lot of people expected, and the Oilers would be best served to bring their A-game if they plan to avoid losing their first BOA season series since 2019-20.
