Oilers lineup tonight: Edmonton’s projected lineup for game against the Utah Hockey Club | March 18, 2025

Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will look to make it three in a row when they host the Utah Hockey Club. Over the weekend, the team was able to build on an overtime win against the New York Islanders by picking up a win over the New York Rangers to conclude their East Coast road trip.

On the flip side, Utah is heading into tonight's game after a road win over the Canucks on Sunday, and will be looking to make it two in a row tonight.

Currently, Edmonton is sitting in second place in the Pacific Division, four points behind the Golden Knights, and one point ahead of the third-place LA Kings.

With Vancouver sitting eight points outside of third place, Edmonton, LA and Vegas seem poised to battle it out amongst themselves for the top three spots in the divisional standings before the playoffs.
