PENTICTON, B.C. — Edmonton Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli took notes at the Young Stars Classic from his perch in the press box at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
He was generally impressed by the Oilers’ prospects roster, but there’s still work to do.
“The response to certain aspects in the games has been there, which is good to see,” said Chiarelli, happy the team got in the face of Vancouver Canucks’ Jake Virtanen after he belted Connor McDavid.
The team also came back in Game 2 to beat the Calgary Flames after being down 2-0 and 3-1.
