Armed with the reigning Hart Trophy winner and some much-needed playoff experience, expectations for the Edmonton Oilers will certainly be heightened in 2017-18.
The Oilers schedule for next season was released on Thursday, and they open the campaign against their biggest rival — the Calgary Flames — in the Battle of Alberta on Oct. 4 at Rogers Place.
