Oilers, Flames Renew Rivalry in Saturday Showdown CALGARY, Alberta (Interstat) — The Battle of Alberta reignites Saturday when the Edmonton Oilers visit the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome in a key Pacific Division matchup. The Oilers (19-19-0) arrive riding a wave of momentum, having won five of their last seven games. They are fresh off a decisive 5-1 home victory over these same Flames just four days prior, a game in which Leon Draisaitl recorded a hat trick. Edmonton has averaged 4.4 goals per game over its last 10 contests. Draisaitl enters as the league’s hottest player, tallying an astounding 22 points (5 goals, 17 assists) in his last 10 games. Captain Connor McDavid, who had five assists in Tuesday’s win, continues to drive the NHL’s most potent offense. Conversely, the Flames (15-22-0) have struggled for consistency, dropping seven of their last 10. They will seek both revenge and a reversal of fortune on home ice, where they are 9-10-0 this season. Defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, who scored Calgary’s lone goal in the last meeting, has been a bright spot with seven points in his last 10 games while playing a physical, top-pairing role. Calgary’s recent results have been volatile, mixing shutout wins with lopsided losses. Goaltender Dustin Wolf, who allowed five goals on 39 shots Tuesday, is expected to start again. Historically, the season series is split. After Edmonton’s rout on Dec. 23, Calgary won the prior meeting 4-3 in a shootout on Oct. 8. A victory would push the Oilers back to .500 and continue their climb in the standings. For the Flames, it represents a critical opportunity to halt a rival’s surge and build positive momentum before a difficult Eastern Conference road trip looms next month. Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. MST.
