Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers are coming off a harsh 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche. This loss marked the franchise’s worst defeat in 16 years, with the previous one being a 10-2 loss against the Buffalo Sabres in 2009.
Edmonton will be looking to bounce back from Saturday night’s gut-wrenching loss as they prepare to face the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets are currently on a three-game losing streak and hold a 4-4-0 away record this season.
Connor McDavid was unavailable for comments immediately following the Oilers’ heavy loss to the Avalanche but shared his thoughts the next morning after practice. “The reaction is just to learn from it and not move on. It was a humbling night last night for everybody in this organization and for the players. It was humbling. So, great opportunity for us to dust ourselves off and get back at it tomorrow,” McDavid said.

### Columbus Blue Jackets Are Coming Off a Loss to Vancouver Canucks
After a close 4-3 defeat to the Vancouver Canucks, the Blue Jackets find themselves at the bottom of the Metro Division with a 7-7-0 record. They have lost two of their last three games, despite holding a one-goal advantage over their opponents in each of those matches.
“Obviously, we’ve been a bit negative here. We need to stay as positive as we can to turn the corner. It’s not like we played poorly tonight, but we made poor decisions,” said head coach Dean Evason following Columbus’ recent loss.

In their two meetings last season, Columbus won at home but lost 6-3 to Edmonton on the road. The Blue Jackets have struggled at Rogers Place, having lost five of their last six games there and winning just nine out of 34 visits in franchise history.
Both teams will look to capitalize on this opportunity as they prepare to battle it out in their upcoming matchup.
