It’s been years since the Edmonton Oilers had a defence corps that carried its weight offensively. We mean, Sheldon Souray kind of history here.
But after getting three goals from the blue line in a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, the Oilers are now tied for first in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens with 11 goals from their D-corps. Only the Vancouver Canucks (37 points) have more production from the back end than Edmonton (35), a team that received just six goals through 15 games a year ago.
