This time around, the players will be sporting a classic appearance with their uniforms, skates, and sticks.
This transformation has been made possible by the hockey supplier, CCM. As the game's date approaches (Sunday, October 29th), the Oilers have been busy at practice, showcasing some of their gear, including their uniforms.
Given the throwback look, both Oilers and Flames fans are hoping that this game will mark a turning point, as both teams have struggled with terrible starts this season. The Oilers currently hold a 1-5-1 record through seven games and are grappling with issues like a lack of scoring, porous defence, and subpar goaltending.
Head coach Jay Woodcroft, along with his coaching staff, will need to find a way to lift the Oilers out of this slump, as crucial points continue to slip away, which will be needed later in the season.
