And, unfortunately for the Edmonton Oilers, they’ve spent a lot of time this season honing the fine art of face-planting against an NHL bottom feeder. Instead, with the Pacific Division standings closing in around them, the Oilers collapsed in an embarrassing and costly 5-2 defeat. “We just stopped playing the right way, cheated for offence,” said forward Leon Draisiatl. The shots were 10-1 Edmonton when Jujhar Khaira’s fifth goal in seven games made it 1-0, but that’s as good as the Oilers could do. Then the second period happened, and the Senators started turning their moral victory into a real one.
