The Edmonton Oilers put it all together, Tuesday night, in a win over Philadelphia by a score that seriously flattered the Flyers. But all of the good that the Oilers gained from this win will be over-shadowed, to some extent, by the “long-term” injury suffered by Connor McDavid.
9 Things:
9. Although the Edmonton Oilers soundly out-played the Flyers from buzzer to buzzer, the game stayed close (on the scoreboard, anyway) right up until the end. As such, Anders Nilsson played a key role in the win. When any goaltender faces just 2 shots in the 1st Period, it is difficult to stay sharp, but he did.
