Player grades: Oscar Klefbom stars in defeat as Edmonton Oilers drop a tight one to Pittsburgh - Bruce McCurdy -- Cult of Hockey
Edmonton Oilers ended a strange homestand at 2-2-0 by dropping a tight 2-1 decision to Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. After dominating the third period by a combined 8-1 in the three previous games, overcoming deficits in each case, the Oilers scored first in this one and entered the final frame locked in a 1-1 game that always looked like it would be settled by a bounce. And it was, when Phil Kessel’s powerplay wrist shot caught Brandon Davidson’s glove and bounced past Anders Nilsson midway through the third.
It’s been almost 10 years since the Edmonton Oilers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in regulation time on Jan. 6, 2006, sparking an unforgettable post-game rant by then-Penguins coach Michel Therrien that skewered his players after Shawn Horcoff’s one and only NHL hat trick. Games have been close in the last 10 meetings, none more so than the latest 2-1 loss Friday night.
David Perron tried not to worry too much about his scoring drought dating back to last season. But that’s like asking someone not to be concerned with the rising water level after a pipe bursts in the basement.
