Tonight Connor McDavid will have his first taste of the Battle of Alberta as the Edmonton Oilers will face-off against the Calgary Flames. The first 4 games have not been easy for McDavid as he has faced fierce opposition in the St Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and the Dallas Stars.
Tonight Connor McDavid will be going from the frying pan to the fire as he faces Edmonton longest standing foe in the Flames. Calgary and Edmonton have been battling for supremacy in the Alberta for as long as they have existed. Perhaps the most epic battles took place during Wayne Gretzky tenure with the Edmonton Oilers during the late 1970's and the 1980's.

| Battle of Alberta Heats up Tonight |
Tonight could be the night that marks a new era in the Battle of Alberta, with Connor McDavid making his first appearance on this battle ground in enemy territory. Could this be the night that marks a change in a battle that Calgary has been winning for quite some time now. Could this be the night that Connor McDavid takes back some ground from the Calgary Flames.
Tonight could be that night when hockey fans will look back and say the tide has turned in the Edmonton Oilers favor. Cheers for now.
