Edmonton Oilers goalie Mikko Koskinen might be the only NHL tender who doesn’t care much about his sticks. Koskinen doesn’t want to compare last season to this sterling 10-2-0-1 record, .921 save percentage and 2.55 average. He passed the concussion test but they’re looking at some other things,” said the Oilers coach. “I had a couple of texts saying ‘congratulations,’ then follow-ups saying, ‘ah never mind.’”Tippett had never gone through a situation where a player scored his first NHL goal, then had it wiped out. “When a guy scores that goal, you see the reaction from the other players they all know what’s going on, then it doesn’t count and it’s ‘waw, waw, waw,’” said Tippett.
