This season, the Oilers are getting a broader picture of the league by facing off against first-time opponents. Last week, the Oilers clashed with the Utah Grizzlies for the first time in franchise history and this week, the Oilers welcome the Idaho Steelheads into the BOK Center for the very first time. In contrast to last season where the Oilers played 69 of their 72 games against divisional foes, this season's schedule features only 54 divisional games and a total of four first-time opponents (Utah, Idaho, South Carolina, Cincinnati).
