And let’s be honest, if the Oilers didn’t get goalie’d by Samsonov then we’d probably be celebrating the best first period this team has had in months. Per Reid Wilkins on Twitter, Brad Malone’s assist on Ceci’s goal was his first NHL point since February 28, 2016. It was the kind of goofy goal that we never have go our way but that’s the way our luck has gone these days. I mean, how did Ovechkin not get a penalty for the waterskiing he did on Hyman with the empty net? I miss Nuge and I miss Jesse, but I don’t know that I can say the same about Barrie.
