The Oilers scored four goals!  They didn't allow more than four goals!

The Oilers scored four goals in Monday's event against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a game that saw them yield less than four goals!  Edmonton got a lot of help when Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier yielded three Oiler goals in four shots.  By that time, Edmonton had it sewn up for keeps.   Benoit Pouliot notched two goals, while Jordan Eberle and Anton Lander each had a power play goal.  The win gave Edmonton 19 on the year, which is pretty good if you've only played around 35 total games.  The Oilers have played twice that number, and are looking at drafting anywhere between 1 and 5 at this year's NHL Entry Draft in June.

That's Oilers interim head coach Todd Nelson on the long awaited return of top four defenceman Nikita Nikitin

Nikitin has been out of the lineup since late January with a shoulder injury, and that's made room for Keith Aulie on a number of nights.  Nikitin (who's under contract for one more year at a cap hit of 4.5M) will be paired with Andrew Ference tonight.  If I had to guess, they'll be the mid-pair,  but with everything being so visually better up in here, you just never know where they'll end up.  Nikitin is a better player than Keith Aulie, but his price point and for what he brings to the table will make him an album cut on any other playlist.

The Opponent is saying

"My line and (Ryan Johansen's) line, we did nothing.  The team relies on us six to be a big part of wins and we weren't there, especially for the first 40.  We were better in the third but it's a 60-minute hockey game"
