Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild live stream: Watch online free 8:10 ET Wednesday as these two teams meet for the first time this season.
The Wild (25-19-5) are coming off a shutout victory vs the Senators on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Oilers (15-29-5) have lost two straight after what appeared like Edmonton turned its season around. Watch the free live stream online to see if Minnesota or Edmonton can get out its funk.
The Oilers made dealt goaltender Devan Dubnyk to the Nashville Predators in exchange for forward Matt Hendricks, then acquired goalie Ben Scrivens from the Los Angeles Kings for a third-round pick in the 2014 Draft. Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish told NHL.com it was time for a change.
"We really felt for everybody it was time for a change with Devan," MacTavish said. "It gives us an opportunity to bring in another goaltender, Ben Scrivens, who's had statistically a very good season so far. It gives us an opportunity to have a pretty good look at him going forward to see where he could possibly fit in on a longer-term goaltending plan."
Koivu will miss his sixth straight game after ankle surgery while Parise will sit out his 12th in a row with a bruised foot. Minnesota won five of six without them before Tuesday's 3-0 shutout loss at home.
"That's our challenge right now with the group that we have," coach Mike Yeo said. "For the most part lately we've done a good job whatever the outcome of the previous game is (on) getting focused on the next one. I don't think we did a very good job this time."
