Timothy
Fosu-Mensah Jersey . - These are heady times for Taylor Hall and the
Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers (4-4-1) have won four straight games against Eastern
Conference teams. But now comes an all too familiar challenge for Edmonton:
trying to match up against their Western rivals. Edmonton began the season 0-4-1
against Western teams before getting back on track against Eastern squads at
Rexall Place. But the final two contests of the Oilers seven-game homestand will
be against the Nashville Predators on Wednesday night and Vancouver Canucks on
Saturday night. We certainly get excited about playing Eastern Conference teams,
Hall said after practice Tuesday. Its pretty obvious the Eastern style lends
itself to the way our team is built a little bit more than the West. But in
saying that, I think the way our team is built this year is more capable of
playing Western teams. It might not have shown in the first five games but I
think as the season goes on you will see that. Head coach Dallas Eakins feels a
reason for Edmontons success against Eastern teams, simply put, is confidence.
It seems like weve got a little extra mojo and a little extra swagger when were
playing an Eastern team, he said. Against the Western teams I feel were a little
more tense and we have to get over that. Listen, Montreal is as good as L.A.,
theyre as good as Anaheim ... we should be able to play with every team in this
league now. Veteran defenceman Andrew Ference, who joined the Oilers two years
ago after seven years in Boston, credits the four wins to the Oilers playing
more responsibly in the defensive zone. Youve seen a lot better job of five guys
working together to prevent chances, he said. The other parts of our game were
going all right. The more glaring thing for me was the breakdowns that we have
definitely limited, if not eliminated, on many nights. Edmontons 3-0 win over
Montreal on Monday improved its record to 4-1 on the homestand. This time last
year, the Oilers were 3-9-1 and en route to finishing with a 29-44-9 mark. Last
year, Edmonton was 14-14-4 against the Eastern Conference but just 15-30-5
versus Western rivals. Despite its early-season struggles, Hall said the Oilers
seemed to adopt a new mindset following a 2-0 home loss to Vancouver on Oct. 17.
It seems like we have a different mentality on the bench, the bench doesnt seem
to get as down, he said. I dont know if its maturity or what it is, but we dont
have that quiet on the bench when something bad happens. Meanwhile, Eakins
confirmed centre Leon Draisaitl, Edmontons first-round pick in Junes NHL draft,
will remain with the club. Wednesday nights contest will be Draisaitls 10th and
activate the first year of his entry-level contract. You shouldnt be surprised,
said Eakins. Hes part of our hockey team. Hes earned the right to be here in the
lineup (Wednesday). He continues to improve. His perseverance and commitment
right now is outstanding. Draisaitl, a native of Cologne, Germany, turned 19 on
Monday. He took the good news in stride. Im just trying to get better every day,
he said. Just get up in the morning and get better every day. You couldnt say I
was confident I would stick around but I think for the most part of the nine
games, I think I did a pretty good job.
