Oilers Game Notes: The Ottawa Senators are set to face the Edmonton Oilers in a highly anticipated match-up of two teams struggling with save percentage. The Senators, led by Tim Stützle and Brady Tkachuk, are aiming to climb back into the Eastern Conference playoff race, while the Oilers, seeking to bolster their defense, welcome veteran defenseman Connor Murphy. With 21 games left in the regular season, the Oilers are in a wildcard position in the Western Conference standings and need to tighten things up quickly to avoid a first-round matchup against a heavyweight like Colorado or Vegas. The game on Tuesday is an opportunity to reset at home against another team dealing with its own defensive issues. The Senators can score, and so can the Oilers. The difference may come down to which team gets the saves.
