845 CANUCKS 2 OILERS 2 (OT)
Noooooooo!!!!
What a dark day for the Oilers. Nine game win streak snapped. Daniel Alfredsson's nine game point streak snapped (despite his six shots on goal). And most siginificantly Henrik Zetterberg lost to injury for 4-6 weeks! Petr Prucha must pay the price next game.
Martin Biron had what must have been his best game of the season for the Canucks, stopping 44 of 46 shots, about 30 of which came after the game was tied at 2-2 in the middle of the second period.
With Zetterberg on the shelf for the forseeable future, Patrice Bergeron--scorer of the game-tying goal--will be elevated to a scoring line and Niko Kapanen will draw back into the lineup in two days versus the Ducks.
When GM icarus was asked about what to expect from the Ducks in two days, he replied "we have no idea since we have never seen this team before". This despite the two teams having played thrice already this season.
