David Rittich will start in net for the Flames. it will be just his second start on Saddledome ice. Rittich has a 1.91 GAA and 951 Save % in six starts. His record this year is 5-1. Rittich faced Edmonton twice last year, once in relief and the other a start, both were losses, regulation and OT.

It will be the battle of the back ups. Mikko Koskinen will start for the Oilers Saturday night. He's been the Oilers better goaltender as well.

Matthew Tkachuk is coming off a two goal performance and has taken over the Flames lead in points

Oilers are coming off a 6-2 win over the Canadiens earlier in the week while the Flames dropped their last game to the same Candiens

McDavid and Driasiatl were paired together along with Caggiula against Montreal last game and they combined for seven points in a win over the Habs… It is likely that Backlund and Tkachuk will be tasked with lining up against the Oilers super line.
