The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Calgary Flames once this season, but they have still struggled against their in-province rivals losing seven of the past eight and their past five games at Rexall Place. The Battle of Alberta will take to the ice for the second time this season on Halloween night Saturday.
- In three starts this season, Karri Ramo has a 4.37 GAA and a .879 SV%.
- The OVER is 5-2 in the past seven games between these two teams.
- No Flames player has a positive plus/minus this season.
Connor McDavid was the shining star when these teams first met this season as the rookie phenom scored two goals and added an assist in a 5-2 Edmonton win. McDavid has been everything that was advertised so far as the 18-year old leads the team in goals and points.
After being called up from the AHL, Karri Ramo is expected to get the start for the Flames Saturday night. Calgary hopes the netminder can spark something for the team as they have won just one of their past nine games.
