Skating longer
With their 2-2 tie against Pittsburgh, the Edmonton Oilers have gone to overtime an NHL-high 23 times, including five of the last 10. The Oilers are 2-7-14 in overtime.
Quotable
“We played (Thursday) on adrenalin. But that catches up to you and we felt it in the first period tonight. We were sluggish. The Wrights and the Barnabys … they get you going. They’re the kind of players who are yapping the whole game. They’re just doing their job. But they got us into the game. They really made us mad.”
Edmonton center Doug Weight on how the Oilers were able to come back from a two-goal deficit to tie Pittsburgh 2-2 on Friday.
