Sun Apr 13 22:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Oilers Face Jets in Season Finale Showdown
**Winnipeg, MB** – The Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets will clash in a highly anticipated season finale on Sunday at the Canada Life Centre. The game marks Edmonton’s first visit to Winnipeg this season, following two previous losses at home. Despite a challenging season riddled with injuries to key players like Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Zach Hyman (who were all sidelined at various points), the Oilers have secured a playoff berth and enter the game on a two-game winning streak.
The Jets, having clinched first place in the Central Division and Western Conference, will provide a tough test for the Oilers, who are currently four points behind their potential first-round playoff opponent, the Los Angeles Kings. While a win could boost Edmonton’s playoff seeding, Head Coach Kris Knoblauch emphasizes the team’s focus on playoff preparation.
The Oilers will be relying on the return of key players, including Captain Connor McDavid, who has been instrumental in their recent success, and goaltender Stuart Skinner, who is set to start after recovering from an injury. The team also called up reinforcements from the AHL to address injuries sustained in Friday’s game against the San Jose Sharks.
Despite the injuries, veteran Corey Perry highlights the team’s resilience, emphasizing the ability of other players to step up and fill the void. The game will be broadcast on Sportsnet at 5 pm MDT.
