Edmonton has won three in a row. Oilers goalie Cam Talbot is playing at a high level with a .927 save percentage this month spanning seven starts. The Oilers' defense could get a boost, too, with the possible return of defenseman Kris Russell.

Tampa Bay hasn't played at home in two weeks. The Lightning just edged Colorado in overtime on the road two days ago. Now the Lightning have to adjust to being at home and getting out of Denver's high altitude.

The Lightning are 1-8 following a victory and 1-6 on one day's rest. This marks their third game in four days. Tampa Bay is 14-10-1-1 at home. Edmonton, though, owns one of the best road marks at 17-9-3-2.
