Oilers wrap up season series with Wild

Mar 26, 2008 - 12:12 PM Edmonton (39-33-5) at Minnesota (40-28-9) 8:00 pm EDT

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) - The Edmonton Oilers trying to chase down the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Barring a collapse, the Minnesota Wild can expect to be in the postseason.

The Wild have dropped two straight, but look to extend their six-game home winning streak against the Oilers on Wednesday when the Northeast Division clubs complete a home-and-home series.

All five teams in the division have winning records and all five can still finish in first place. Edmonton defeated Minnesota, 5-3, at home on Monday.

The Wild come home after finishing a 1-2-1 road trip. The Oilers have won six of seven games and 12 of their last 15. Edmonton has scored 20 goals over its last three victories.

"The bottom line is that it could be anybody that falls," Oilers' coach Craig MacTavish said of the West playoff race. "These are tough games. If somebody goes on a stretch in the last five games where they only win a game, then even the top teams are vulnerable."

The games concludes the season series between the teams. Minnesota is 4-2-1 against Edmonton this season.
