After remaining undefeated at home (8-0-0) with a 4-3 overtime win against Utah Hockey Club, the Knights now face the defending Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers for the first time this season.

Backup goaltender Ilya Samsonov will not be traveling with the Knights this trip, leaving Akira Schmid as Adin Hill's backup. Samsonov didn't dress Saturday due to soreness.
Defenseman Brayden McNabb is expected to start in his 515th career game as a Knight on Wednesday, surpassing former forward Jonathan Marchessault (514) for the most in franchise history.
