One game after Vancouver Canucks played their best game of the series, Edmonton Oilers did the same on their own home ice to live on for at least another day. Facing elimination, the Oilers played a strong defensive game in front of Stu Skinner and provided plenty of goal support along the way, solving Arturs Silovs 5 times on the night. The game was closer than the 5-1 final suggested, but make no mistake that Edmonton was the better club and deserved the result. Read More
