Game 64 Preview:  Minnesota Wild vs. Edmonton Oilers - March 5, 2010 - 7:00 pm MT - Rexall Place - PPV

Well, the 'new' Oilers will be hosting the Minnesota Wild tonight at Rexall Place.  Sadly, this game will be on PPV, so you'll have to pay to see the new heavily depleted roster.  We all know that things we're going to be ugly going forward, but it's probably going to be even uglier than many of us anticipated.

The good news is that the season is almost over.  The bad news is that it seems likely that the 'rebuild' is going to be a project two or three years in the making.

In terms of stats, the only one that really matters at this point is how far back we are of the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Currently, we've got a  six point safety margin for last place in the league.  It's likely that we can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to drafting Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin without too much to worry about.

Daily Line:  Favors Minnesota (-180/+160).  Follow the jump for the 'projected' and possibly inaccurate lineups.
