The Edmonton Oilers and Arizona Coyotes are playing on the NHL schedule on Wednesday night and the game starts at 10:30 pm ET from Gila River Arena as the two western conference teams matchup and they have been struggling to start things off in 2014-15 and Mike Smith will be looking to bounce back on this game.
The Oilers come into the game after losing to the Los Angeles Kings in a blowout, while Arizona comes in after a win against LA. The Oilers have the Vancouver Canucks next and they come into the game with just one point on the season after going 0-2-1 to open up. The Coyotes come in after an overtime victory against the defending champion Kings and they now have two points and the team is 1-1 on the season.
Arizona is the new name of the team after changing it from Phoenix and the team has the St. Louis Blues next on the schedule. The team is ranked in the top of the league in penalty kill percentage since they have just played two games and the team is hoping Smith can keep things going after the first win. Smith has played very well in his career against the Oilers and he is 8-0-1 against the team with a sub 2.30 GAA in the last 10 games against Edmonton.
