Excited Oilers'

Jason Smith & Todd Harvey

The Oilers' defeated the L.A. Kings 5-3 on a banner day for the team. They had announced that the remaining home game tickets were to go on sale, they had acquired two quality defencemen via trades without giving up much in return, and then they won their 2nd road game in a row. Things had started to look gloomy for the boys of blue and copper, but now it's looking sunny and great. A team effort to be sure, a lot of players chipped in and the result was positive. 13 players got a point for a goal or an assist. Mike Morrison made 28 saves for the win, Marty Reasoner won 69% of his faceoffs, and Jason Smith was +2 in defensive ratings for my 3 stars. California weather is just what the Oilers' needed!
