The Edmonton Oilers got on the winning track last night with a shootout victory over the Calgary Flames. This was a much-needed win after the blowout fiasco they suffered on Tuesday night against the Buffalo Sabres. This game showcased the good, the bad, the ugly and most certainly the optimism that has surrounded this team for most of this season.
You can also probably say that this win was needed for the mental fortitude of the Oilers before All-Star weekend. Especially for their captain and two-time All-Star Connor McDavid, who’s been at a loss for words for most of the year, with how poorly his team has played.
