Vancouver has only played two games so far this season, including a 5-4 shootout win over Edmonton last Saturday. Chris Higgins scored the only goal in the shootout, and he says it’s been tough having such a long layoff so early in the season “It kind of feels like another start to the season. It would be nice to keep that contact and that game tempo up a little bit, but we had a nice week of practice. We’ll be hungry for the game Friday night.” The Oilers will be hungry tonight, winless in four games, their only point coming against Vancouver. “The key for us is matching their tenacity for the puck,” noted Higgins. “I’m sure they’re going to be working like they’ve never worked before. That’s how we have to approach the game, to approach it with the same dirty mindset that they will have.” Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins agrees with Higgins, adding they have to address this game like it’s a must-win for the Oilers. “We have to be really ready. They’re going to be ready and they’re a good team. If you look at segments of the game they played [at Rogers Arena], they out played us,” Desjardins believes. “For them, they just want to play that way for longer segments. The thing that swung it our way was the power plays. Up to the power plays, it was pretty even, but then we got some momentum.” In Saturday’s win, the Canuck top line of Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin and Radim Vrbata combined for seven points.
