He seems like a guy that gets comfortable once he thinks he's made the NHL rotation very forgetful about how tenuous his spot is. Hope this version sticks a round for a few games.
Bison looking like a King again.. taking shots.. hustle, hanging on to the puck more, carrying it, he was getting the nick name "hot potato" for his tendency to pass it right back to McD as soon as the puck hit his stick, a positive trend. He could have had 5 goals tonight.
Yamo still snake bit.. no shots on net again. They say his last shot was 7 games ago, but it was a tipped goal.. not sure if it even qualifies as a "shot", his streak might be even longer than 7.. wow!
Foegel looks good up on the top 6 he can force opposition D-men to engage him to try and break the cycle, opens up 97 and 13 to move around and get open, does a bit what Hyman does.. but with less finish.
Skinner robbed of a shutout by his teammates.. both goals he made the initials stop(s) and the rebound was put in by an uncovered CBJ forward.. deserved the SO on home ice, in his home town.
RNH with some deft puck steals.. witchery.
This win was a happy surprise.

Kassian had a pretty good game. Some shots and some hits.
Ceci was -2, but this is a case where +/- is misleading. His partner, who shall remain nameless, was the lesser of the pairing, and was only -1.
Skinner did a great job. Lots of shots to handle, and he stayed strong until the boys in front of him built up a nice cushion. Beats the daylights out of those games where the Oilers fall behind early and spend the rest of the game struggling to catch up.
