Goalie Cam Talbot's strong series biggest reason Oilers moving on

Craig Custance: The Edmonton Oilers were opportunistic offensively, but goalie Cam Talbot and the penalty kill were the key for me. Somehow they kept the Sharks off the board on the power play (0-for-3 overall) in Game 5, and they were in full survival mode when the Sharks were trying to tie it late. Sure, they got some help from the crossbar and post on Joe Pavelski's backhander, but give the young Oilers credit for hanging on.
