Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton's projected lineup for game against Chicago Blackhawks | Feb. 5, 2025

Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will look to make it back-to-back wins after a 3-2 OT win over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night snapped a two-game skid for the team. Edmonton will be back in action tonight to face off against the Chicago Blackhawks, a team that has struggled to find consistency throughout the season.

Currently, Edmonton is sitting atop the Pacific Division, two points ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights after Tuesday's win over St. Louis broke a tie between the two teams.

With six wins in the last 10 games, and the postseason less than 30 games away, Edmonton will look to build even more momentum ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off hiatus before, what the team hopes, will be another deep postseason run.
