It is often said that, at the end of a winning streak, you get a couple “W’s” that you don’t really deserve, and at the end of a losing streak, you miss out on a couple points you perhaps did. The latter applies to the Edmonton Oilers, who managed a win in the 3rd of consecutive strong efforts from the club, 3-1 over the Islanders.
9 Things:
9. The Edmonton Oilers have not lost a game this season, when Anton Lander has scored a goal.
8. Benoit Pouliot had to leave the game in the 3rd Period, after injuring his shoulder during an awkward check into the boards.
