Oilers Shut Out Flames, Drill Joseph 5-0

Both teams incited to fight as backup CuJo has horror night in net

(Newser) - The Oilers' 5-0 trouncing of the Flames last night was anything but pretty, writes the Edmonton Journal.

Nabakov helps Sharks stay even with Stars by freezing out Oilers 3-0

(Newser) - Stars coach Dave Tippett insists "it's not about how many saves, it's about winning," but goalie Marty Turco's 29 saves last night certainly helped Dallas stay ahead of the Canucks.

Senators, Oilers stumble in Florida

(Newser) - The Bruins came into Montreal having lost eight straight to the Canadiens, including five already this year, and the 8-2 carnage was about what one would expect.

Meanwhile, Oilers best Flames, and Ducks squeak past Sharks

(Newser) - Ottawa's 3-1 loss to the Islanders seemed mostly secondary last night, in light of the recent loss of All-Star Dany Heatley and a fresh injury for Jason Spezza. Though Spezza remained in the game after being hit, he left for the locker room soon after, and his prognosis isn't clear,...

Detroit's seven-win streak snapped in 4-3 shootout

(Newser) - Despite being outshot by a woeful margin, gutsy Edmonton halted Detroit's second seven-game win streak of the season in a 4-3 shootout.
