Oilers face Wild in key Western Conference battle

Mar 24, 2008 - 1:46 PM EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- Seemingly out of playoff contention a month ago, the Edmonton Oilers look to inch closer toward the postseason on Monday when they face the Minnesota Wild.

The Oilers have won 11 of their last 14 games to move within three points of Colorado for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Edmonton posted a 7-5 victory at Colorado on Saturday.

While they are in last place in the Northwest Division, the Oilers trail first-place Minnesota by just five points.

The Wild are coming off a 5-4 road loss at Calgary on Saturday. Minnesota is 3-3-4 in its last 10 games.

Minnesota has dominated the series of late, winning nine of the last 11 meetings. However, Edmonton posted a 4-2 home victory in the last game between the teams on February 12.
