Welcome to NHL On Tap. Three NHL. com writers will share what they are most looking forward to on the schedule each day. Today, their choices from the 15 games Friday. McDavid, Oilers try to salvage road tripThe Edmonton Oilers 5 12 1 will try to end a three game losing streak when they face the Washington Capitals 10 4 2 at the Capital One Arena on Friday 3 p. m. ET; MNMT, SNW. Edmonton won its first two games under coach Kris Knoblauch, but it has allowed 17 goals in the first three games of this four game road trip. Likewise, Oilers captain Connor McDavid has struggled to score consistently this season. He is tied for 59th in the NHL with 16 points six goals, 10 assists in 16 games, but after scoring two goals in a 5 3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, he had one assist and was minus 3 in a 6 3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. Washington, meanwhile, has found its game after a slow start. The Capitals are entering Friday on a five game winning streak and are 9 1 1 in their past 11 games. Alex Ovechkin leads the Capitals in points, though he only has 12 five goals, seven assists in 16 games. Derek Van Diest, staff writerBedard, Matthews face off in ChicagoDuring his junior days with Regina of the Western Hockey League, Connor Bedard would spend hours bunkered in the video room studying the shooting technique of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews, who won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy as the NHL's top goal scorer in 2021 and 2022. On Friday 2 p. m. ET; NBCSCH, TSN4 , fans at United Center will get to watch them both when Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks 5 12 0 host Matthews and the Maple Leafs 10 5 2 Brady Lyle Jersey. Bedard, who scored his 10th goal of the season in a 7 3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday, has nine points five goals, four assists in his past six games. However, Chicago has lost five straight games and will be going up against a well rested Maple Leafs team that has not played since a 4 3 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild in Stockholm on Sunday as part of the 2023 NHL Global Series Sweden. Toronto has also won four in a row overall and has a point in seven straight on the road 5 0 2. As for Matthews, he is tied for the NHL lead in goals 14 with Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor. Mike Zeisberger, staff writerWild getting their groove back?The Minnesota Wild 5 8 4 are entering their game against the Colorado Avalanche 12 6 0 at Xcel Energy Center on Friday 8:30 p. m. ET; MAX, TNT, TVAS on a five game losing streak 0 3 2 , but they are starting to feel better about their game. The Wild may have lost 2 1 in a shootout to the Ottawa Senators and 4 3 in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 2023 NHL Global Series Sweden last weekend, but it's the way those games went that have led to better vibes, including rallying from two goals down in the third period to salvage a point against Toronto on Sunday. Coach Dean Evason said he's seen much needed defensive improvement, which he believes is going to lead to more scoring for the Wild, who are currently 18th in the NHL in goals per game 3. 12. They'll get a chance to show their growth against the Avalanche, who have won four of their past five games 4 1 0 and have scored 27 goals in that span.
