Petersen stopped 18 of 21 shots (.857 SV%) to pick up an easy 4-3 victory over Detroit his last time out. The 28-year-old has been terrible this season, posting a .867 SV% and 4.06 GAA to go along with his 4-2-0 record. He takes on the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers who rank fourth in the NHL with 3.69 goals per game.

The 37-year-old's season has been very up and down as he has a 6-3-1 record along with a .905 SV% and 2.87 GAA.
