Defensively, the win against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday was one the Edmonton Oilers can bookmark and go back to study if things go sour again. “We were just playing faster,” said Oilers defenceman Kris Russell. “Defensively, offensively, we were just hounding the puck and were on the puck. It was a good effort by everyone (Tuesday).”The Oilers gave up 29 shots in the contest, but kept the rebounds and clear-cut chances to a minimum. Heading into the game, the Oilers had three goals from defencemen all year.
