The Edmonton Oilers level of play was several stratospheres higher in Los Angeles Thursday night, compared to that stinker of a hockey game against Ottawa on Tuesday. But they were also up against one of the best teams in hockey. And despite an even effort and a hard, late push by the Oilers, the Kings ultimately triumphed, 2-1. Lots of good in this one, though, Oilers fans.
9 Things:
9. Quick, who led the Edmonton Oilers in Corsi tonight? Nail Yakupov (18-13, 58%). Yak finished the night with 4 shots, on a line with Anton Lander and Jujhar Khaira that was perhaps the Oilers most consistent.
