After the devastating overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night, the Edmonton Oilers bounced back with a big win last night. Defeating the reigning Stanley Cup Champions in 4-1 fashion was the most impressive win they have had for a long time. It’s one of those victories that can help shape the narrative of this franchise and steer the ship to greener pastures.
It was a game that not only the Oilers needed to win but prove to themselves they have what it takes to hang with the best teams in the league. They somewhat showed that against the Penguins and handed an exclamation point on the Washington Capitals.
