With the momentum the Edmonton Oilers were riding on after their big win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night, they suffered a setback last night against the LA Kings. Looking at the 5-2 score doesn’t give an accurate picture of how well the Oilers played, as those final two goals by the Kings were empty-netters.
Regardless of what was displayed on the scoreboard, there some positives and negatives to take from the game. One loss won’t make or break the Oilers road to a playoff spot; it’s the habits they develop that need to change.
