‘We know it’s gonna improve’: Igniting power play key to Oilers’ climb
VANCOUVER — The Edmonton Oilers may have found the break they were looking for.
After struggling through the first month of the NHL season, the Oilers trounced the Vancouver Canucks 7-3 on Saturday.
“It was a step in the right direction, for sure,” captain Connor McDavid said of the victory. “Not an easy building to win in, a team that obviously we’ve got lots of history with and this is a great win. Hopefully it’s something that we can build on.”
Edmonton’s special teams have struggled early in the campaign, but the team’s power play capitalized in Vancouver.
