EDMONTON — When the start didn’t come off the way it was drawn up, the goaltender came to the rescue, carrying the Edmonton Oilers out of a scoreless first period.
When a defenceman went down early, four others stepped up, each playing more than 23 minutes. The penalty kill overcame all three shortages it faced, and the power play got one in the third period to break open a tie.
All are routine happenings in the hockey world. Or, at least, routine for good teams.
