The Edmonton Oilers won their second straight game of the preseason. This performance against the Vancouver Canucks this early in the schedule doesn’t mean anything in the long run, but a few players did shine out of that game. That’s the biggest takeaway after the Oilers beat the Canucks 4-2 last night.
This team didn’t have their stars on the ice, but the supporting cast did their job, and some even excelled at it. The effort was the theme that had plagued the Oilers last season but last night showed they have tons of it.
