Season Series: This is the fourth of 11 meetings between these two teams this season. The Oilers will play Mississippi more than any other opponent this season. The previous three games have all been in Mississippi with the Oilers winning two of those. The most recent was a 6-5 win on Tuesday.

Recent Action: Both teams are coming off three goal victories last night on their home ice. Mississippi defeated Bossier-Shreveport 4-1 on the strength of two goals by Cam Severson. Mississippi also had two power play goals last night. The Oilers scored four goals in the third period, their highest scoring period of the season (and seventh period this season they have scored at least three goals in a period) en route to a 5-2 win over Rapid City. T.J. Caig and Troy Riddle each scored twice for the Oilers.
